USING THE WEIGHT ROOM SAFELYFor You and Your Friends

Page 2: Using the Weight Room safely

Design For The Individual Principle of Specificity-SAID (specific

adaptation to imposed demands) which means train for the outcome you want.

Principle of Progressive Overload-the practice of continually increasing the intensity of your workout as the muscles become accustomed to that level of intensity.

Page 3: Using the Weight Room safely

Design For The Individual Principle of Individuality- to reach

your goals your program must be appropriate for you. Advanced body builder’s workout vs. a beginners workout.

Principle of Reversibility- if a program is stopped without maintenance the body will reverse(hypertrophy).

Page 4: Using the Weight Room safely

Design For The Individual Principle of Variation- no matter how

effective a program is you need to switch it up. Your body will always adapt.

Principle of Maintenance- once a person reaches his or her goal is not hard to maintain. Training is reduce after time.

Page 5: Using the Weight Room safely

Reps Repetitions are the key to sculpting

your body. Long and Lean- your count should

be between 10 and 20. Getting Jacked- between 3 and 8 Keeping track of your repetitions is

always important. Weight training is a process and growing safely over time will be aided by documenting your work.

Page 6: Using the Weight Room safely

Reps Reps are also a good way to check

your weight. If you are only doing 2 reps drop your weight. If you are ripping 30 reps increase your weight.

Weight training involves thinking and knowing your limits.

Page 7: Using the Weight Room safely

RM Repetition Max- is reached when

failure occurs after 1 rep. Working through a number of

weights to find your RM is time consuming and very tiring. When finding your RM you should wait 3 minutes between each set.

Page 8: Using the Weight Room safely

RM This calls for perfect technique and

an understanding of your body. Don’t just jump into this, you need a

perfect understanding of technique and a spotter with the same knowledge.

Lifting form Speed- fast and slow reps are

beneficial but control is more important. When starting to weight train you should take your time and understand what muscle your working and how. The 2 seconds rule is effective.

Breathing- exhale on exertion inhale on weight return.

Single joint exercises- during a bicep curl movement should only occur on the distal portion of the elbow.

Page 10: Using the Weight Room safely

Lifting Form Multi joint exercise- should be done

without weights to build a comprehension of the movement. Asking advice from a trainer is important. Asking a random exercise enthusiast could result in injury.

Never be to proud to ask for a spot. Understand your movements before you

do them Never lock out your joints, its cheating

and it can hurt you.

Food As Fuel Your workout is only as good as you eat.

This means if you eat garbage and exercise a lot the end result will not be as great as it could be.

Certain for food for certain performance but in appropriate amounts.

Assignment For TodayGo to

http://www.sport-fitness-advisor.com/dumbbellexercises.html

1. Draw 2 exercises for each muscle group. Explain how you would spot this exercise and identify the muscle group.

2. Do the exercises with a classroom friend who has different exercises and see how it feels.

Page 15: Using the Weight Room safely

Stance & Rhomboids Stance-Standing with a staggered

stance or with feet shoulder width apart, squeezing your butt and your abdominal. Switch feet every exercise this is a from of isometric exercise.

Rhomboids- Give your shoulders a big role and slightly squeeze your scapulas together.

Page 16: Using the Weight Room safely

Stance & Rhomboids Create stability it only take a second

to protect your spine. Improper stance- hunched or round

back, wild elbows and hips. Shaking is a form of work for the muscles but it increases your chance of falling, dropping a weight, or injury.

Page 17: Using the Weight Room safely

Breathing Never for get to breathe Exhale on the excursion or work Inhale when your recovery from the work

position

Page 18: Using the Weight Room safely

Spotting Dumbbell- spotting one joint away is

always safe you (drops)and the person your working with.

Your an aid not a worker. Barbell- Using the stance previously

discussed will help you with spot. With the bigger bar you need to worry about the weight. If some one is on the bench press you cant get to there elbows. With a bigger comes bigger weight, two people spotting at each end of the barbell works well and keeps it safe.

Page 19: Using the Weight Room safely

Spotting There is no one position for spotting

so having an understanding of weight training will help you and all others around you.

Talking to the lifter, your voice is motivation. It is also a tool for correction the harder someone works the more stress they put on their body. Their technique will suffer.

Page 20: Using the Weight Room safely

Walking and Cleaning Be mindful of where your walking

you could hurt someone or they could hurt you.

Cleaning is essential, if the floor is messy you will fall. Not everyone can move heavy weights, be courteous and don’t give them the chance to hurt themselves.

Page 21: Using the Weight Room safely

Walking and Cleaning Be a role model, people who don’t

know what they are doing look at others and copy more than just movements.
