Many fitness acolytes, having achieved good results in the first months of
their training, will seek to use new exercises and equipment to gain a
competitive advantage over their amateur gym mates. Or, some of our young
players went in search of food in the storage rooms of their school gyms
seeking that goal. Anyway, at some point in a physical bodybuilder's career
& # 8221; they will find many mysterious exercise machines that are
completely obtuse to them, mind boggling that the way they are supposed to
be used, and what purpose.
You probably do not need me to tell you, but the majority of exercise
equipment that are on the market today are completely worthless & # 8212;
in fact, I told you! However, there are some devices that are somewhat
obscure and rarely used, but are excellent tools for your strength,
endurance and flexibility training, tools that, without exception, are 100
years younger and their which have unfortunately been forgotten by the
masses for a variety of reasons completely inept (marketing, for most, but
here the return of kings are already against consumer culture if marketing
has no effect on me). And without further ado & # 8230;
1. The Swedish scale
Most likely a device you saw bolted to the back of your high school gym
class, the Swedish scale at first glance seems to be closer to some kind of
torture device than a piece of exercise equipment ( insert joke about hacky
derp any exercise is a torture device here). And indeed, to try it, n t
seem to be useful for much more than to use it as a ladder.
However, a little ingenuity will show that it is useful for all
calisthenics exercise that requires a certain degree of verticality. You
can put your stomach at the bar to stretch your back, or turn your back to
the bar to do pull-ups and L-SITS. The regular gradations bars make it a
must for the graduated sections as wushu stretchkick handstands and belly
wall, and it can also be used to free training suspension exercises such as
the lever and the human flag.
2. Indian Clubs
For better or for worse associated with the golden age, they are, as the
name suggests, an import from the subcontinent. , They are basically a
dumbbell which is stretched, forcing the wrists and shoulders to act as a
lever to support the weight. In practice, this makes the bumper moldings
and other exercises you do with clubs much harder than they would with a
standard dumbbell.
There are a variety of exercises that is * only * with the Indian team, and
all are great ways to develop strength and healthy joints in the upper body
(and subject of articles that I should never get hold of a set). I
personally like more kettlebells, which is unfortunate, because they are
much more common. If you find a set of Indian clubs, be sure to use them.
3. Medicine Balls
Let's make something clear: I'm not talking large inflatable bouncy & #
8221 of exercise balls; that middle-aged ladies use to exercise. Instead, I
talk about the medicine ball, a ball that weighs somewhere between 2-50
pounds and can be used for various purposes, ranging from unstable support
for transient progressions calisthenics to throw and catch off the wall to
form the chest and abdominal muscles for an impact to hang. It can also be
used as a weight shifts as the weighted sit-up if you do not want to risk
damaging your floor.
This piece of equipment has been around for most of three millennia, and
served all the gladiators to the pioneers of the 19th century physical
culture. It would be interesting to add to your repertoire.
4. gymnastic rings
Most people probably have some sort of idea of how this work, if only to
watch the Olympics every four years. However, the layman can use these
tools difficult but rewarding for their own physical condition.
The mere fact of doing standard exercises calisthenics (L-Sit, pull-up,
etc.) is exponentially more difficult by the fact of making these on the
unstable surface of the rings. And open space between the rings facilitates
more complex maneuvers such as handstand ring, which leads to even more
difficult technical callisthénie as ring handstand pushup, all form the
entire body to a huge degree and optionally a lead Maneuver monstrous
difficult such as iron cross.
5. Parallettes
Probably the simplest of these obscure drive devices, parallettes are
simply a bar and the platform placed on the ground. However, they are an
integral part of the training gym because of the elevation of the body on
the ground, making them essential for the sitting-v-seat, pulls true
handstand (elevation allows you to dive deeper than you would on the
ground), and other maneuvers. The boxes or chairs can be replaced by them,
grasp the bar only works different muscles of the hand and forearm of a
flat hand.
So next time you see one of them, give them a try, it might give you that
edge you need.
