Together is an eight week plan created to prompt overall shoulder size and width. This is broken down into two phases, with each one maximising a specific aspect of muscle growth. In the first phase, which comprises weeks one through to four, you will be using heavy weights with lower reps and high intensity techniques, such as: Negative reps. Forced reps. Extended sets. Drop
Push-ups remain a standard move in fitness classes everywhere for a simple reason: They work. Sure the exercise works your arm muscles, but it’s also great for your core and chest. It’s a full-body toner. You are strengthening your shoulders, triceps, biceps, back, chest, core and glutes. Engaging all of these muscles at once means you are upping your metabolic
There's probably one area you feel like you can't work enough: Your abs! More specifically, your lower abs. It seems like no matter how much training you do, they just stay the same?

Every time we pull, we use our biceps and triceps. Because our biceps and triceps get a lot of work during compound movements, it's important to limit the number of sets during isolation work. With dedicated arm training, keep the sets low and the intensity high. An even bigger problem is that most people don't understand anatomy well enough to
The questions about glutes come from both female and male athletes, as well as general fitness enthusiasts. All of whom truly want to increase their speed, power and strength. The proper development of glutes can allow individuals to not only run, jump and swim faster, but can also increases their explosive power during sporting activities.

While we love a good ab workout, a killer core isn't just about a flat stomach. This also means paying attention to your sides, or, more specifically, your obliques.
