Here’s a touch list of fitness/nutrition concepts, ideas, techniques, habits, etc that I feel EVERYONE should be incorporating into their daily repertoire. If you disagree, tough noogies!
Learn to coach MOVEMENT PATTERNS
and find structural balance in your overall programming:
Rather than specializing in part splits like “chest day” or “arms day,” learn to structure your routines in order that you hit ALL movements patterns during the week. Doing so will almost guarantee that you just will hit every major muscle group within the body, additionally as help to alleviate any postural imbalances you'll have.
- Horizontal Pull
Seated rows, dumbbell rows, barbell rows
- Horizontal Push:
Bench press variations (with barbell and dumbbell)
- Quadricep Dominant:
Squat variations (back squat, front squat, etc)
- Vertical Pull:
Pull-ups, chin-ups, lat pulldowns, etc
- Vertical Push:
Overhead pressing
- Hip Dominant:
Deadlift variations
- Single Leg Work:
Lunge variations, Step-ups, etc
As well as several other mini-categories that we won’t get into right away (mainly prehab stuff handling the complex body part, scapulae/shoulder blades, core, etc).
Steer further from machines:
The same is said for just about the other machine that puts you in a very fixed plane of motion. reality movement doesn't occur in a very fixed plane, so why train that way? Likewise, I also don’t just like the idea of individuals visiting gym, only to take a seat in/on a machine. the general public sit at work from 9-5, the very last thing i need them doing within the gym is sitting more.
A long story telling in short, learn to use free-weights
(dumbbells and barbells). If you don’t understand how, hire a private trainer
to point out you the way. And if you are doing work with a private trainer and
every one you are doing is machine circuits……get a replacement trainer.
STOP with the body-part splits:
To be blunt, if you currently have a 40 inch waist, you don’t have to be performing a whole training session of bicep curls. Additionally, part splits (ie: chest day, arms day, etc) is simply NOT a awfully efficient thanks to train (especially if one among your main goals is to shed some fat).
Ideally, one should follow a FULL-BODY routine thrice per week (focusing on all the movements patterns, listed above). Doing so will involve more muscle mass, which can burn more calories, which can burn more fat, which can cause you to think i'm awesome for telling you to ditch the piece split routines.
That’s all for now. More to come back soon.
