Weight Training Basics – Part Two – Technique

12/8/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
Though this series is entitled ‘basics’ and aimed primarily at those who’d like to start weight training, each of these are also applicable to the average trainee too, even those who might consider themselves intermediate or advanced.

If the foundations aren’t right, then there’s little point in building on top of that and we believe that proper technique should be your base for a few solid reasons. The main objectives being…
To limit your risk of injury
To build efficiency into your lifts
To ensure you use a full range of motion
To help maintain constant tension
To ensure the correct joints and muscles are bearing the load

TO ALLOW YOU TO ‘FEEL’ HOW THAT EXERCISE IS SUPPOSED TO BE EXECUTED
TO BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE IN EXERCISES
TO LEARN THE EXERCISES (OR VARIATIONS) THAT WORK FOR YOU AND YOUR BODY TYPE
IF YOU’RE A BEGINNER THE MORE PRACTICE YOU GET AT SOMETHING, THE QUICKER AND EASIER YOU’LL PICK IT UP. THIS IS THE REASON BOTH MYSELF AND ROB GENERALLY START OUR CLIENTS OFF WITH FULL BODY SESSIONS, YOU GET TO LEARN TECHNIQUE, BUT WITH THE ADDED FREQUENCY TO ENGRAIN THE MOVEMENTS AND PRACTICE THEM.
NOT EVERYONE HAS ACCESS TO GOOD COACHING BUT ONLINE VIDEOS CAN CERTAINLY HELP WITH YOUR TECHNIQUE, ONCE YOU KNOW THAT IT’S

1.) DECENT INSTRUCTION AND

2.) WHAT YOU SEE IN THE VIDEO IS ACTUALLY WHAT YOU’RE DOING IN THE GYM. NUMBER 2 IS PRETTY COMMON, WE SEE A GOOD FEW PEOPLE WHO DON’T QUITE HAVE A GOOD AWARENESS OF WHERE THEIR BODY IS IN SPACE I.E. WHAT YOU THINK SOMETHING LOOKS LIKE, AND WHAT IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
WE DON’T MEAN THAT LAST POINT TO SOUND IN ANYWAY PATRONISING, WE AS COACHES HERE AT BODY HEALTH AND FITNESS ALL LOOK OVER EACH OTHERS TRAINING ON A REGULAR BASIS, AND EVEN IF EGO’S AREN’T ALWAYS SPARED, WE CORRECT EACH OTHER FOR THE ULTIMATE BENEFIT FURTHER DOWN THE LINE.

TAKE THE TIME TO LEARN PROPER TECHNIQUE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, OR IF YOU’VE STALLED OUT, AREN’T GETTING RESULTS OR NIGGLING PAINS ARE CREEPING IN THEN RE-SET THINGS, CHECK YOUR EGO AND INVEST THE TIME IN GETTING IT RIGHT.

IN PART 3 WE’LL TALK EXERCISE SELECTION, WHAT ARE THE BEST EXERCISES TO PICK AND HOW TO THINK ABOUT THEM.

AS ALWAYS IF YOU’VE ANY QUESTIONS FIRE THEM AT US.
