What is weight lifting? Well, in easy terms it is basic resistance training. Resistance training is when we are placing a load on our muscle that causes it to work a little bit harder in order to move that object, weight or load. In exercise physiology terms, it is putting stress on the muscle belly in order to create strength, hypertrophy and sometimes endurance through a method called the overload principle.
The only way a muscle is going to get stronger is if we challenge it. For example, if we just kept reading the same book over and over again, our brain would not develop as quick as if we were constantly introducing new books and stories. By bringing in new stimuli or books, we will increase our vocabulary, our comprehension and be able to pain different pictures in our head of what we think is going on in the story we are reading.
The same goes for exercise, if we are stagnant, we will not improve. If we do not use what we have, we will lose what we have gained, and the only way to keep improving is to keep challenging to get to the next level. So here are the basics that you need to know when you want to get into this great exercise sport.
Weight lifting is all about pushing, pulling and rotation; that is it! If you can remember that information, you will be able to put together great routines without getting muscle groups mixed up or not working them efficiently. When we are pulling resistance the muscles involved are the back, biceps, forearm flexors and the core muscles. There are other muscles that are involved in the movement, but we want to keep it simple. The muscles that are involved in pushing are the chest muscles, triceps, and the frontal part of the shoulder, the forearm flexors and the core muscles. We are not going to get in depth in naming the actual muscles because we want to keep it simple.
When looking at the lower body, you want to keep it very simple. When you sit up, you are pushing weight up, so do a basic squat, a basic lunge or even the leg press. Once you get the basic movements and proper biomechanics down, then you start doing stabilization and balance training with more advanced moves. This can involve different stability tool and equipment balancers, but make sure you are properly instructed on how to use them. If you are ready, then seek the guidance of a Portland fitness trainer or professional in your area that can assist.
