Biceps Illustration #16 - Seated alternate dumbbell curl This is a great exercise for the biceps but a little tricky to perform. The whole point of this exercise is to turn your palms inward as you curl the weight. This adds more contraction to your biceps. To do this exercise, grab two dumbbells and take a seat on the end of a flat bench (you can also do these standing up). While seated, the dumbbells should be at the sides of your body with your palms facing each other. Slowly curl one dumbbell up and as you do, slowly turn the outside of your palm inward until they are facing you, at the top of the movement. As your bring the weight back down, your going to do the reverse of this and slowly turn your palms outward again. Do the same for the other arm. Illustration #17 - Concentration curl Grab a light dumbbell and take a seat on the end of a bench. Slightly bend at the waist, as in the image above. With the dumbbell in one hand, curl the weight up using only your biceps. I keep my arm braced on my leg for added support. Repeat with the other arm. Illustration #18 - Flat Bench Dumbbell Curl You can get into position in one of two ways. The first way, you can grab two dumbbells and lie back on a flat bench with the dumbbells at your sides. The second method, simply lie back on the bench at grab the dumbbells on the floor. It's up to you. Once you are in position, simply curl the weight up and down. Once you've finished the repetitions, drop the weight on the floor. Illustration #19 - Incline Dumbbell Curl Grab two dumbbells and lie back on an incline bench. You can use the incline bench press or a multi purpose bench. I like to curl the weight up while I'm seated and lie back with the dumbbells on my chest. Once in position, slowly lower the weight and curl the weight back up. Illustration #20 - Standing Dumbbell Curl This is a pretty simple exercise to perform. Simply grab two dumbbells and keep them at your sides. Curl the weight up and slowly lower them back down. Now, you can either curl the weight up with your palms facing outward or you can do them like the seated alternate curl. With the seated curl, you start with your palms inward and as you curl the weight up, turn your palms inward. Either way is fine..

    PUSH -PULL CALIS- THENICS PROGRAM ABOUT Calisthenics Worldwide is a professional educational platform for athletes, calisthenics enthusiasts and movement professionals. It encourages the intensive use of literature and life-long learning. CWW was founded to support athletes in their quest to explore new tools, tricks and methods in training. Calisthenics has taught us to believe in ourselves. It has taught us dedication and discipline, and the best part is that it can work for you too. We know this because we’ve inspired a lot of people to start working out. They have used this program and it has helped them get the body and life they want. Everything you need to do is • Read the BASIC RULES and our HOW TO • Pick a workout from the plan • Find a good rep range based on your fitness level • Give it all you got! BASIC RULES 1. The first thing, with any workout, make sure your form is perfect. 5 perfect pull ups are better than 10 half ass pull ups. Find yourself a good rep range. I can do 15, even 20 pull ups. But not perfect... so I do 10 reps with everything. Pull and push-ups, squats, etc. 10 reps is my number where I’m able to perform each exercise perfectly and correctly. In the program you’ll find a pre-set number. Please note that with the first training you need to adjust the number on your own fitness level! 2. Calisthenics is healthy. It can be done almost every day. Why? It’s your own bodyweight.

  • Weight Training for the Shoulder
    Strength Training for the Shoulder This handout is a guide to help you safely build strength and establish an effective weight- training program for the shoulder. Starting Your Weight Training Program • Start with three sets of 15-20 repetitions • Training with high repetition sets ensures that the weights that you are using are not too heavy. • To avoid injury, performing any weight training exercise to the point of muscle failure is not recommended. • “Muscle failure” occurs when, in performing a weight training exercise, the muscle is no longer able to provide the energy necessary to contract and move the joint(s) involved in the particular exercise. • Joint, muscle and tendon injuries are more likely to occur when muscle failure occurs. • Build up resistance and repetitions gradually • Perform exercises slowly, avoiding quick direction change • Exercise frequency should be 2 to 3 times per week for strength building • Be consistent and regular with the exercise schedule Prevention of Injuries in Weight Training • As a warm-up using light weights, you can do the rotator cuff and scapular strengthening program (see next page) • Follow a pre-exercise stretching routine (see next page) • Do warm-up sets for each weight exercise • Avoid overload and maximum lifts • Do not ‘work-through’ pain in the shoulder joint • Stretch as cool-down at end of exercise • Avoid excessive frequency and get adequate rest and recovery between sessions. • Caution: Do not do exercises with the barbell or dumbbell behind the head and neck. For shoulder safety when working with weights, you must always be able to see your hands if you are looking straight ahead.

  • Electromyographic Analysis of the Conventional Style Deadlift Muscle Activation Compared to Focused Muscle Activation
    ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF THE CONVENTIONAL STYLE DEADLIFT MUSCLE ACTIVATION COMPARED TO FOCUSED MUSCLE ACTIVATION Tuma, M., Buerman, K., Nash, B., Taves, J., Youdas, J., Hollman, J. Project funding came from the Mayo School of Health Sciences Program in Physical Therapy Project approved by Mayo IRB (#14-007257). All subjects signed appropriate consent form. Subject data was kept confidential. Background and Purpose: The deadlift exercise has been used in the rehabilitative process and athletic arena to improve muscle strength and stability. The deadlift is considered a multijoint exercise whereas the biceps curl is considered a single joint exercise. Both exercises have their place in the rehabilitative process and in the functional improvement of individuals in sport-specific activities. Further study of these exercises will allow clinicians to maximize the rehabilitative process when strengthening is required and also provide athletes with information to select the most effective exercise for their sport. Investigators have recommended muscle activation levels greater than 50-60% maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) promote muscle strength gains. Methods and Measures: Surface electromyographic (EMG) analysis was carried out on twelve muscle groups on 12 healthy subjects while performing five exercises: (1) conventional deadlift, (2) biceps curl, (3) pull-up, (4) shoulder shrug and (5) abdominal crunch. Analysis: Muscles were examined independently with the Friedman ANOVA by ranks test (α = .05). When the Friedman test was significant Wilcoxon signed ranks tests were used to examine pairwise comparisons of the magnitude of EMG (% MVIC) recruitment during the deadlift exercise and the focused muscle exercises with Bonferroni corrections for multiple comparisons. Results: In the deadlift exercise, the mean 50% MVIC was exceeded in 7 of 12 muscles.

  • Separate and Combined Effects of Local and Systemic Hypoxia In
    European Journal of Applied Physiology (2019) 119:2313–2325 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00421-019-04217-3 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Separate and combined efects of local and systemic hypoxia in resistance exercise Olivier Girard1,2 · Sarah J. Willis2 · Marin Purnelle2 · Brendan R. Scott1 · Grégoire P. Millet2 Received: 8 May 2019 / Accepted: 21 August 2019 / Published online: 29 August 2019 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Purposes This study quantifed performance, physiological, and perceptual responses during resistance exercise to task failure with blood fow restriction (BFR), in systemic hypoxia, and with these stimuli combined. Methods Fourteen young men were tested for 1-repetition maximum (1RM) in the barbell biceps curl and lying triceps extension exercises. On separate visits, subjects performed exercise trials (4 sets to failure at 70% 1RM with 90 s between sets) in six separate randomized conditions, i.e., in normoxia or hypoxia (fraction of inspired oxygen = 20.9% and 12.9%, respectively) combined with three diferent levels of BFR (0%, 45%, or 60% of resting arterial occlusion pressure). Muscle activation and oxygenation were monitored via surface electromyography and near-infrared spectroscopy, respectively. Arte- rial oxygen saturation, heart rate, and perceptual responses were assessed following each set. Results Compared to set 1, the number of repetitions before failure decreased in sets 2, 3, and 4 for both exercises (all P < 0.001), independently of the condition (P > 0.065). Arterial oxygen saturation was lower with systemic hypoxia (P < 0.001), but not BFR, while heart rate did not difer between conditions (P > 0.341). Muscle oxygenation and activa- tion during exercise trials remained unafected by the diferent conditions (all P ≥ 0.206).
