Weight Lifting Programs- Finding Balance


Weight Lifting Programs- Finding Balance

True or False

Good weight lifting programs should emphasize three muscle groups your chest, biceps and abs. Right?

NOOOO!!!

FALSE

I know these are the muscles that most men focus on when they imagine what they want to look like, but the truth aint pretty.

If you only workout the muscle you can see in the mirror or even if you over emphasize them in your workouts you’ll not only end up looking like a hunched over cave man but you’ll open yourself up to all kinds of injuries.

What you need is balance. That means that you not only work out the front muscles (chest, abs, biceps ect.) but also the rear or opposing muscles.

For the chest he opposing muscle would be the upper back and rear shoulder muscles. For the abs they would be the lower back muscles. For the biceps the opposing muscles would be the triceps and so on. You get the point?

Get a total body workout so you keep everything in proper balance. Not only will you look better but you’ll be less prone to joint and other injuries.
