In the fitness world you hear words like “Physique” thrown around a lot.
Physique may refer to:
1. The natural constitution, or physical structure, of a person (see Somatotype, Anthropometry, Body shape)
In bodybuilding, the trained muscular structure of a person's body.
2. Physical fitness, a general state of health and well-being and, the ability to perform aspects of a sport or occupation.
3. Physical strength, the ability of an animal or human to exert force on physical objects using muscles.
Pec Fly Machine and Dumbbell Chest Fly the two exercises work the same primary muscle, but they differ in the lesser muscles recruited to complete each exercise. With the pec deck machine, no stabilizer muscles are used, because the machine does the work of stabilizing the weight. Since the dumbbell fly is a free weight exercise, it provides more room for variation.

Happy Friday y’all. Did you know that sweat glands occur all over the body, but are most numerous on the forehead, the armpits, the palms and the soles of the feet. Sweat is mainly water, but it also contains some salts. Its main function is to control body temperature. As the water in the sweat evaporates, the surface of the skin cools.

You fail to overcome the resistance, so your whole body moves instead. The pull is a example of a closed chain exercise.

The first thing to focus on is your set-up, because it’s critical to your safety and effiency. Without a strong foundation, you won’t be able to get the most out of your benching efforts, and may even put yourself at the risk of injury.

In order to build back muscle, focus on exercising the large muscle groups in your back. You can perform several useful exercises either by using free weights at home or by using lifting machines at your local gym. Plan to vary the back exercises that you perform, so that you can strengthen your upper back, lower back, and mid-back regions through different methods using weights and machines. Or, if you prefer to exercise without this type of equipment, you can build back muscle using your own bodyweight.

A little sample of my morning stretch routine.💪🏾
If your right arm has ever confidently banged out a set of bicep curls or rows at the gym while your left arm has struggled to keep up (or vice versa), you know what it feels like when one side of your body is stronger than the other. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with you—it happens to pretty much everyone. But no worries we have miltipk solutions.
Message with questions.💪🏾🙌🏾
The bicep's basic function is moving your arms forward, upward, and to the sides. The bicep stabilizes the shoulder when carrying objects or supporting weight. It does much more but we will just start with these.

The incline dumbbell press is designed to increase chest strength and size, so it's typically included in a well-rounded, intermediate strength training program. If you split up your weekly workouts by body part, include this chest exercise on your upper body or chest day, after exercises like pushups or the flat bench press.

2023-09-21 05:16:11 +0000 UTC View PostThe bench press is a chest day staple for a reason. It’s a compound move that recruits muscle fibers in your chest, triceps, shoulders, and even your back. Switching up your pressing angle can enhance these benefits by shifting tension to your upper chest fibers and involving more effort from your shoulders.

blique muscles help your body move from side to side. They play a big role in strengthening your lower back and improving your posture. Within this muscle group, you have two groups of oblique muscles: internal obliques and external obliques. They both play an incredibly important role in maintaining healthy posture.

During isometric exercises, the muscle doesn't noticeably change length. The affected joint also doesn't move. Isometric exercises help maintain strength. They can also build strength, but not effectively.

Sometimes muscular problems may cause pain in the chest and upper back. Repetitive use or overuse of multiple muscle groups, for example through activities such as rowing, can lead to aching pain in the chest, back, or chest wall. Other symptoms you may experience include muscle stiffness, muscle twitching, and feelings of fatigue

We’ve all stretched before exercising. Some of us like it and some of us (me included) really don’t – but regardless of how you feel about stretching we’ve all grown up being told that stretching is good for you and that it prevents injury. How can it not be? All of our favourite sports starts stretch before games. At school we’re all taught to stretch before we play sport. And how many times have you heard (or said yourself) “I pulled a muscle in my hamstring/calf/quad/back etc etc because I didn’t stretch properly”?

Both pre- and post-exercise stretches are important. The two stretching sessions serve separate purposes and thus consist of very different movements. Experts recommend dynamic stretches before a workout and static stretches after a workout.

It involves sitting upright in the machine and curling the torso down toward the chest against some pre-set level of resistance. On some machines, the knees also curl up torward the torso. Crunch machines usually use extra resistance in the form of selectorized weight stacks or plate loading, and are often performed for moderate to high reps, like 8-12 reps per set or higher, as part of the ab-focused portion of a workout.

There are many benefits from hiking on a incline. Going about your daily routine typically requires walking uphill or on a slight incline — even for a brief period of time. Sticking to one route or terrain can stall your training progress.
If you only walk on flat surfaces, either outdoors or on the treadmill, you miss out on the challenge created by an incline.
The Row Machine is a good for more muscles you might expect. On the drive the main focus is on the posterior chain the hamstrings, glutes, calves, and spinal erectors are all being used. In the pull, the quads, forearms, biceps, and lats are used as well.

Unlike dumbbells or barbells, with the machine chest press, you get more resistance at the top of the movement. This is a great way to get extra pressing work in.
