Guys, Are You Top Heavy?

!±8± Guys, Are You Top Heavy?

How's Your Physique?

Many times men tend to work the upper body, chest, and arms to the neglect of the lower body and midsection. This is a mistake for a number of reasons, not the least of which is how it makes the body look unbalanced. There are many guys, whether they work out at the gym, or at home, who have spent a lot of time hitting the bench or push ups, and have made some substantial progress, but, their legs look like they belong to someone else. In addition, I have heard several women make comments about how this very fact is a turn off when it comes to the area of physical attraction. While women do like to see a guy with big guns, they also like symmetry. While they may not talk about it openly to men they are very much impressed with how a guy's jeans fit him.

Now two lower body exercises that will definitely address this are the dead lift and the squat. These exercises are targeted specifically to the lower trunk, hips, quads, and hamstrings. They both are excellent ways to build muscle mass and improve the appearance of the lower body. Before you start doing these, contact a health professional or professional trainer to determine if you are ready to start either of these.

Exercise #1: The Deadlift

The dead lift is about as primitive an exercise as you can find. It primarily involves movement at the hip, and that's all. You basically lift something heavy from the floor to your mid thigh level. It's typically done in the gym with a barbell and is a concentric motion only. Once you pick up the object, you don't lower it back down, you simply drop it back in place. The deadlift can be done with anything really. It doesn't have to be a barbell. However, using a barbell does make it easier because of how it's made. But, creative people can come up with other options. To do this particular movement correctly, the low back needs to be kept straight and in the "neutral position". This means that your hamstrings need to be fairly long to do the exercise correctly and avoid injury. A stretching program may be needed. Also, when beginning, one should concentrate on form rather than resistance. This means avoid using much weight at all until your body is accustomed to the movement.

Exercise #2: The Squat

The Squat is a more dynamic exercise than the dead lift in that you lift and lower the weight. You'll be getting movement in the ankle, knee and hip with this one. In addition, the upper body works to a degree because the weight rests on the upper back and shoulders or the upper chest and shoulders. Because the squat is dynamic, the amounts of weight may be limited due to things like knee pain or ankle or knee tightness. As with the dead lift, you will want to start off pretty conservative when it comes to weight. Again, because you need to know how your body will respond. Using your bodyweight, or the weight of the Olympic bar will be fine for this. To do correctly, whether using a bar or not, stand with your feet shoulder width apart or slightly wider. Then, lower your body toward the floor bending at the hip and knee. Your hips will move backward as you keep your knees above and slightly in front of your feet. Lower your body until your thighs are parallel with the ground and then rise to the starting point.

Your chances of avoiding injury are greatly increased when either of these exercises are done in a controlled and consistent fashion. Because of the nature of these exercises and the muscles targeted, they are a great way to increase lower body muscle mass and add symmetry to any physique.

Kettle Bell Weight Training For Maximum Results

!±8± Kettle Bell Weight Training For Maximum Results

If you are very new to the sheer power of Keppel bell weights training in order to get into best shape, you will really be surprised to learn how efficient this method will be and how the kettle bell can be worked into any schedule for that matter. The kettle bell weights training will surely help you to get great results in less time and along with that, you have to follow some important guidelines.

Alternate Muscle Groups

When you work out with the kettle bell weights, you need to have rest and it is during the rest time, the muscle grows and fat burns. You can work out on every alternative day so that it matches your schedule.

Split Routine Options

It is not a good idea to work out on all the seven days a week. Doing so will be counterproductive and downright dangerous. After work out, body requires one day of rest without any workout. If you want to gain heavy muscles, then you have to give at least 5 to 7 days of rest and you have to concentrate on all the individual parts.

For less demanding workouts, you can workout for the muscles for more than once a week in different routines and again you need to have break. For instance, if you work for shoulder and chest on two consecutive days, then for another two days you have to work out for legs and abs.

If you follow this routine, then you will be able to bring in fast fitness results and at the same time, there must be adequate amount of both food and sleep. Adjusting the weights from week to week is one of the good ideas that will be helpful in getting fast results.

Basic Lifts For Developing Core Strength

!±8± Basic Lifts For Developing Core Strength

I believe everyone should train like an athlete! Working to increase your athletic ability not only will help you improve your athletic ability (going out on a limb there), but improve your real world functions as well. Constantly utilizing a variety of functional movements like, pushing, pulling, squatting, lifting odd objects, walking, sprinting, can get you going in the right direction. Executing these basic movements with high intensity will enhance the 4 components of athleticism: strength, power, speed, agility.

In athletics it is about putting more force against the ground in less time. This statement leads me to believe "core" strength and lean body mass development are the base of athleticism. With young, aspiring athletes an increase in maximum strength alone will positively affect power, speed and agility.

A great coach once told me, "if you always do what you always did; you will always get what you always got." Step outside the box, keep your mind like a parachute; always open! If you are just beginning, start with very basic body weight movements. Body weight exercises are safe to use and require a minimum of equipment. I would always include the basics, push-ups, chins or pull-ups, a variety of abdominal work, and freestanding squats. These are non-ballistic movements and if done in a progressive manner, can yield awesome results.

Body weight movements will serve you well, but at some point you will need to transition into using free weight exercises. The following menu of exercises are basic lifts that will help develop core strength:

A. SQUAT VARIATIONS--these include, Olympic-style squats, box squats, front squats, power lifting style squats, overhead squat.

B. BOX STEP-UPS-- this iso-lateral lift is mechanically specific to sprinting.

C. LUNGES-- stationary & walking

D. LATERAL SQUATS OR SIDE LUNGES--good way to isolate inner thigh muscle, which provide stability to hip and knee joints.

E. DEADLIFTS--trains major muscles of the hips and thighs. These include the buttocks, quadriceps, and hamstrings. Also spinal erectors (lower back), upper back and shoulder girdle.

F.POWER OR HANG CLEAN--one of the best multi-joint movements.

Farmers walks are a great way to finish off workouts (called finishers). Strength training should never be confused with "rocket science". You can use a trap bar (hex-bar if you like) or heavy dumbbells. Here is the tricky part.....slap on some decent weight, pick up the bar or dumbbells, go for a walk. Either around the outside of the gym or if you live in Florida (like me) go out side and walk a specified distance and return....take multiple trips if you can.

Shower up...go home....have some chocolate milk. See you next workout!
