The Chest has two different muscles the pec major and minor and they do slightly different things. The pec major pulls the arm in towards the center of the body and flexes your shoulder.
The pectoralis minor depresses the scapula (shoulder blade) and downwardly rotates the scapula. All muscles of the body have an origin and an insertion point.
It’s important to know these 2 points so that you can understand which movements will work which muscles. For the best chest workout you want to focus on the pectoralis major which originates from the sternum and inserts on the bicipital groove of the humerus.
To work a muscle most effectively you want to shorten the distance from the insertion to origin. So, for the chest when the humerus comes closer to the sternum the muscle will be worked better.
Now that you know the biomechanics lets take the most popular exercise at any gym, the bench press. With normal barbell benchpress you lower the weight until it touches your chest and then push it up.
There are two things that you shouldn’t be doing here. When the bar is touching your chest it requires the front delt to do most the work and is doing more harm than good for your body.
You should stop a couple inches before the bar touches your chest which will result in fewer injuries and no loss in strength gains.
The second thing wrong is that you aren’t able to shorten the distance from your bicipital groove to your sternum with a straight bar. If you use dumbbells it is much more effective in building muscle in your chest.
1 weeks out for the first 3 clip then the other are random shit.
You build muscle, you lose fat. You build muscle, you gain strength, energy, resistance, enthusiam, creativity, ability, longevity, esteem – you hit the jack pot.
Most diets don’t work for long term fat loss. They’re concerned with reducing weight rather than burning excess bodyfat. They strip off vital muscle, the body’s major fat burning component.
When you remain at a particular bodyfat level for a long period of time, your body recognizes that as your fat setpoint. Substantial time (patience, discipline and fortitude) is required to lower your fat setpoint as you seek complete and permanent changes.
The body tissue you have today, good or bad, was built almost entirely from the foods you have eaten over the past 6 months. Make a commitment today to renew your body composition.
Watch calories, watch carbohydrates. Avoid excessive fats (high calories) and carbohydrates. The big bonus here is that after a few weeks, your tastes and habits will simply change. Fats, sugar and salt become less interesting. For an intense fat burning regime, try the following tricks.
With pad and pencil, simply list everything eaten. Cut fat and salt intake radically.
Consider training in the morning – this raises the metabolic rate throughout the day. This means more fat burning and more energy. Make sure you get adequate fiber each and every day . Drink 1-2 liters of H2O during the day.
An excellent pre-workout and post-workout meal is a Bomber Blend protein drink. And for ideal and aggressive efforts toward leanness, add the following supplements: 2 SuperSpectrim vitamin/minerals, 2 Amino Ammos & 1 gram Vitamin C.
Don’t scrutinize. Permanent changes take time. Test and record your bodyfat level every two months. If you use a scale, weigh only once a week. After an initial drop in weight, plan to lose 1/2 to 1 pound per week steadily – a realistic goal.
Have your larger meals early in the day, making dinner the lowest calorie meal.. After reaching your goal, be prepared to continue your diet in order to establish a new fat setpoint.
Remember, protein is king. To assure consistent intake for muscle adaption and weight control a protein powder should be on your shopping list along with the eggs and apples. Always and forever, plan a disciplined low calorie day following any unusually high calorie days. Enjoy an extended workout and the subsequent high blood sugar pump.
