Ever taken a look around your gym to see what the people around you are doing?
Do you question if the workout they do will help you reach your own physical goals faster?
Those are a number of inquiries to ponder as you keep reading this, but the fact of the situation is there is always a 'better ' lift to do than most of the lifts that you see folks performing at your gymnasium.
As an example, today a pair in my private gym took it upon themselves to do a range of exercises working their body from top to bottom, or that is what they believed.
Their workout began with some dumbbell shoulder shrugs. That exercise targets the trapezius muscles that, if large enough, might make you appear as if you have no neck.
On the surface of things that would appear to be a good exercise to do, but if you dig a bit deeper you'll find that exercise does little in the way of helping you burn even the most minute of calories.
Let us look at it mathematically. The quantity of work done is equal to the force times the distance you are moving that force and the quantity of times you are moving that force. For example, if you were to use 30-pound dumbbells you might move that weight a sum total of 3 inches maximum. The trapezius muscles aren't that big therefore don't have the range the larger muscle groupings do.
So that 30-pound weight moved three inches, ten times, gives us a bunch of 900. The unit of measure at that point is unimportant.
Now lets look at an alternative exercise, the army press. This exercising is done with an Olympic bar pressing it from about your chin all the way above your head till your arms about absolutely extended.
For this exercise we only utilised the weight of the bar which is 45-pounds. If you make the motion as if you were performing the exercise you may notice the distance that bar is going to travel is around 24 inches or even more dependent on your size, and that was done for an overall total of ten repetitions. So 45-pounds, times 24-inches, times ten repetitions gives us a bunch of 10,800- again the unit of measure is unimportant. It only becomes important if we were to work out that number into calories burned.
On the surface, doing the military press was 12 times more effective than doing a dumbbell shrug, and that was with only the 45-pound bar.
This is one example of one way to see if you are getting the best from your workout session. Many people are oblivious to a few of the exercises that they choose to do and just do anything that is evoked. You only have so much energy when you hit the gym floor, make it count and put it towards exercises which will give you the bang for you buck.
