http://fitnessweightlosscenter.com - Squat Exercise | Leg Workouts - The squat exercise, or as most people refer to it as "squats", is probably the best single workout you can do for your legs. Squats workout your quadriceps, hamstrings and all the other muscles in your legs. You will get the most out of your squat workouts if you use free weights rather than a squat machine.
Using free weights makes you use all the little stabilizer muscles in your legs and adds to the effectiveness of the exercise. Just make sure not to get so infatuated with squats that you ignore the other exercises that target you legs. And remember that working out your legs is just as beneficial as working on your chest and arms and maybe more so. Strong and powerful legs provide a strong base for any other training or athletics.

http://fitnessweightlosscenter.com - Upright Rows | Traps Workouts - The upright row is a multi-joint exercise that not only works the front and middle heads of the deltoids, but also works your biceps and your trapezoids as secondary or auxiliary muscles. This is a great exercise for giving width to your shoulders and for raising your trapezius muscles as well. It's a great upper body exercise and will really help to broaden out the base of the neck and the shoulder line.
Be very careful with how much weight you use for this exercise. Too much weight leads to bad form, which in turn will cause shoulder injury. I've seen this too many times so please do not allow jerking and swinging of the weights. If you suffer from shoulder problems, then stay away from upright rows and substitute this exercise by some form of lateral raises coupled with shrugs.
The shoulders are among the body parts most likely to be injured during resistance training. And upright rows are one of those exercises which could injure them. Most of those who regularly hit the weights do this exercise incorrectly, so saying it is unsafe is not strictly true. Much of it has to do with how the exercise is performed. Simply by limiting the range of motion - that is, not lifting the elbows past the shoulders.

http://fitnessweightlosscenter.com - Wide Grip Lat Pull-Downs | Back Exercises - Wide grip pull-downs serve as an alternative to pull-ups and are useful for all weight-lifters - beginner to advanced. Being able to adjust the weight is very useful because the beginner can reduce the weight lifted - if their own weight is too heavy for them to lift when doing pull-ups and the advanced lifter can increase the weight beyond their own body weight.
Most experts suggest that pull-ups are a superior exercise, so wide grip pull-downs should take back seat to pull-ups when possible.
A problem with pull-downs in general is that some users can't isolate the lats and end up using their biceps to do a lot of the work. To isolate the lats, use a wide grip and when you're pulling down, focus on your lats pulling inwards as they go down. Imagine them pulling down in a semi-circle motion. The wider grip promotes the width of the upper portion of the lats.
Never try to pull the bar down using your forearms. The forearms will simply be used to hold the bar.

http://fitnessweightlosscenter.com - Dumbbell Presses | Chest Workouts - Another fantastic workout for your pecs dumbbell presses are similar to the classic bench press but offer some unique advantages. Because you're holding the weights in separate hands you reduce the opportunity of one sided muscle dominance when doing bench presses. Also you have to use all the stabilizing muscles you never use when you perform the classic bench press, especially if you perform the bench press on a bench press machine and not free weights. These advantages increases your functional strength.
Using free weights vs weight machines always carry more risks so it's important to have a spotter. Always begin with a lighter weight and work you way up. This will reduce the risk of injury because you will know your limits and not select a higher weight from the get go.

http://fitnessweightlosscenter.com - Standing Barbell Curls - Biceps Workout - A fantastic exercise for isolating the biceps muscles. Everyone wants to show off their guns and the standing barbell curl is a great way to pump up your biceps. As with all exercises to get the maximum results you need to perform the exercise correctly.
The single biggest mistake people make when performing the standing barbell curl is swinging the body back. This defeats the whole purpose of the exercise which is to isolate the biceps muscle. Your body should remain fixed and only the biceps muscles used to lift the weight. If you can't lift the weight without swinging your body back then you need to use less weight until you can effectively perform the exercise.
Another mistake people make is not keeping your elbows tucked into your sides. You should not let your elbows leave your side. Again, we are going for the isolation of the biceps and you do not want to use any other muscles or movements to lift the weight.
The third most common mistake when performing the standing barbell curl is to drop the weight too quickly. To maximize the effectiveness of the exercise you need to slowly lower the weight back to the starting position. If you can't lower the weight slowly you need to reduce the weight until you can. By isolating the biceps on the way up and on the way down you will get amazing results with the standing barbell curl.

http://fitnessweightlosscenter.com - Stiff Leg Deadlifts | Leg Workouts - The is a super exercise for your hamstrings and lower back. As with all weight training exercise proper form/technique is essential for not only getting the most out of the exercise but also to avoid injury. As you lower the bar towards the floor make sure to keep your eyes/head up as this will
facilitate keeping your back straight. And as shown in the video do not bend you knees - remember you are targeting your hamstrings and lower back.
Because technique/form is so essential to the stiff leg deadlifts start off with a lower weight and concentrate on performing the exercise correctly. Do not sway as you lower the weight but try to keep slightly more than 50% of your weight on your heals. And as with all weight training exercises keep your movements slow and steady - again concentrate on form not reps. You will get more out of the exercise with proper form and fewer reps than more reps with incorrect form.
After you have performed the stiff leg deadlift with the correct technique successfully you can increase the weight. Don't make too large a jump in weight but move the weight up slowly. You should not be in a rush to max out the weight. I'll say it again proper form with fewer reps will yield greater results that incorrect form and more reps.
A word of caution - do not perform the stiff legged deadlift if you have lower back problems or are dealing with a lower back injury. And as with any weight training exercise if you begin to experience pain you should discontinue the exercise.

http://fitnessweightlosscenter.com - One Arm Dumbbell Tricep Extensions | Tricep Exercises - Another fantastic workout for your ticeps. So many people tend to focus on their biceps but the triceps makes up over 50% of your arm and building them up is a great way to look good at the beach.
Using free weights vs weight machines always carry more risks so it's important to always begin with a lighter weight and work you way up. This will reduce the risk of injury because you will know your limits and not select a higher weight from the start.
For maximum results make sure to extend your arm fully - do not cut the movement short. And as with all weight training exercises slow and steady movements will allow you to work all of the targeted muscles to their fullest. Resist the temptation to move up in weight until you can perform the exercise with the proper technique.

http://fitnessweightlosscenter.com - Rocky Presses - Shoulder Workouts - This is a great workout targeting your shoulders and incorporating your tricep muscles. Also know as a Bradford Press this exercise is one of several that target your shoulders. It's a good exercise for beginners because you are seated on the chair and have back support which helps you to maintian the correct posture and form throughout the exercise.
As with all free weight exercises it's best to have a spotter to reduce the risk on injury especially as you move up in weight.
If you are just starting out make sure you perform the exercise with the proper technique at a lower weight before you increase the weight. I can't stress enough the importance of proper technique with all weight training exercises including the Rocky Press.
