Grip Training for Weightlifting at Home

admin — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 12:28:36 +0000

If when working out your hands give up holding the dumbbells before you finished training the muscle you targeted, you need to do something about your grip.

Here is how to train your grip strength and endurance at home without having to buy “squeezers” or any other fitness gadgets. All you need beside your regular workout equipment is just a towel and a couple of rubber bands.

Top 5 Home Gym Fitness Equipment review

admin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 18:40:58 +0000

1. Barbell set — cost about £80, Great for home use, Not very portable for travelling personal trainer, excellent for compound movements and all the different movement patterns

2. Kettlebells — range from 4-40kg and prices range from £15-£200 pounds, Great for home use, and portable for travelling personal trainer depending on weight, great for all body movements but guidents is needed for beginners as movements are tough to master.

3. Medicine ball — range from 1-10kg and with prices from £6-£60, very portable and offer an excellent way of training for sports, strength power and endurance development, this style of medicine ball does come with its drawbacks as pulling movements are limited

4. Gymboss interval timer — great for motivation, intervals, circuits, dills, tabatas £15

5. Cones — very portable, lightweight and easy to use and by far the cheapest, speed agility and endurance, dills challenges, partner games etc… cost £5

If I use workout equipment at the gym, will it stunt my growth?

admin — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 09:44:25 +0000

I’m 14, and use workout equipment that are good for your triceps, legs, biceps, and pecs. I don’t weight lift.
I’m 14, 5 foot 2, and weigh 120. I use workout equipment that are for your legs, triceps, biceps, and pecs. I don’t lift weights.

No,as long as you workout correctly and the pain you feel is the good pain and not bad pain like joints or something.You will develop muscle.So as long as you do things right,no worries,if you feel joint pains or any other unnecessary pain then stop and see what’s happening.

How to workout your upper body with no equipment?

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 20:45:18 +0000

I have no access to any equipment. So i have to workout my upper body with just my body. I want some nice biceps, nice triceps, nice abs, a nice upper body. Can you just list the workouts and how to do them?

Push-ups and Sit-ups are still the best way to go for equipment-less workouts, and that goes for both men and women. It would also be an advantage if you can spend a few minutes each day to do simple yoga exercises, they really do work.

But of course, results will not be as remarkable in just a few weeks, so you need to be patient and do your workouts continuously and diligently. And never forget to do those stretches before every workout to avoid damaging your muscles.

See the links below for some workout suggestions. Good luck!

What’s the BEST Ab Workout equipment you can buy from Amazon.com?

admin — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 23:39:05 +0000

Im looking for something no higher that 250$ and something that works good. im not over weight, I just want a good workout and toned abs! Thanks
Im also saying ‘equipment’ because i rather not lay on a mat and just do crunches. they seem not to work for me.

$250 on abs equipment alone!!!!!!!! you must have money to burn

all you need is a good exercise mat for the floor, so as to protect your spine from all the floor exercises you should be doing, with your own body weight!

abs ripper x, from the P90X system is pretty hardcore, and all floor exercises.

in and outs X 25
bicycles X 25 per leg
crunchy frog X25
cross leg/wide leg sit ups X25
fifer scissors X25
hip rock and raise X25
pulse ups X25
v up/roll ups X25**
oblique crunches X25
leg climbs X25
mason twists X50

**this is hard, if you struggle with it move it closer to the beginning of the workout!

Also the 100’s position is a great core toner, sit on the floor and lean back slightly raising your legs about 5-12 inches off the floor. Extend each arm out in front of you to balance. Pulse your arms up and down gently (a pulse should be around two seconds), count each pulse, do 100! you should feel the burn at around 50 onward, when you get to 100 rest!

Alternating planks twists, get in to the plank position and hold for 15 seconds, for 15 seconds each, first lift your left arm, then your right, then your left leg, then the right leg… then both the left arm and right leg, then the right arm and left leg. Do as many circuits of this as you can, all the time clenching your abs muscles to help build a strong core!

and those are FREE!

If you have money left over buy a decent Olympic style weights bench and barbell!

Whats the name of any gym/workout equipment that has the leg bands attatched to the top.?

admin — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 10:36:29 +0000

I think its the bowflex but i dont want to purchase it, unless its the one where you attach your foot to the band and stretch it down from the top of the machine.

I’m not sure and it doesnt look like youve had answers yet so I would say that your best bet is to call bowflex and find out what model it is to go to their website.

good luck!!

is there a piece of workout equipment on the market that can help you to be able to open you’re legs wider.?

admin — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 11:28:01 +0000

is there a piece of workout equipment on the market that can help you to be able to open you’re legs wider. i saw an advertisement in a martial arts mag a few years ago but cant remember what it was called. Does it really work

yep there called leg stretchers. they do help but in my opinion its better to stretch without one because you learn more balance and co-ordination without the use of mechanical devices.

there are loads of different shapes and sizes, just search google products and you’ll get loads, but heres one
