More Body Weight Workouts Coming Soon!

It has come to my attention that I have been neglecting to post workouts for those who do not have the time to go to the gym. I will try my best to add workouts that can be done from the comfort of your own home.

I am still adjusting the blog. Don't hesitate to ask questions, and comment on how I can make the blog better! Thank you.

Quad/Calves Workout (Equipment Needed)

This workout requires the use of exercise machines. I used this workout for a brief time when I worked on legs. This workout is for more advanced weight lifters. Keep in mind that you can alter any workout the way you see fit.

The workout is:

Single leg extensions ------------------------- 3 x 15 each leg
Barbell, dumbbell squats --------------------- 3 x 8
Leg Press --------------------------------------- 3 x 15
Hack squats -------------------------------------3 x 12
Seated calf raise w/ counted holds ---------- 3 x 15

If you have any questions about the workout, don't hesitate to comment. I hope this helps!

No weights, No problem

This is a good leg workout that you can do in the comfort of your own home. I have used it myself and it is challenging for me to complete them all, so it is alright to lower the number of reps.

The workout is:

Squats -------------------------------------------------------- 36 Repetitions

Alternate Lunges-------------------------------------------- 18 each leg

Split Jumps-------------------------------------------------- 18 each leg

Jump Squats------------------------------------------------- 36 Repetitions

Explosive push ups (optional)---------------------------- 10 Repetitions

I hope this workout is helpful to you!

Recommendation

I recommend whey protein for those who are looking to gain muscle. For those in collegiate sports, whey protein does not contain any banned substances. I prefer it over creatine because creatine will give you mostly water weight. I have had good experiences using this product.

Bench Press Grip

Hello bloggers! It's summertime and everyone is eager to get that beach body that they've been working for. But it is important to know the basic fundamentals for lifting techniques to stay safe. Safety should be your first priority when lifting weights. This blog post will focus on the safest grip when doing bench press.


                                                         (I do not own this picture)

When gripping the bar while benching, the lifter should have his hands firmly gripped on the bar with straight firm wrists. The wrists should not be lose while benching. In the picture above, 3 bench grips are shown. In the first picture (left to right), the lifter's thumb is behind the bar. Some lifters use this technique but it is not the safest technique and should not be used by beginners. In the second picture, the lifter has the correct grip, but his wrists are loose and not straight. It is important to have a straight wrist to get the best possible results. The third picture is the correct way to grip the bar. The lifter has a nice firm grip on the bar with his thumbs wrapped over, and his wrists are straight. Picture 3 is the safest way to grip the bar when attempting bench press.

Hope this post helps you!
