Build Muscle Up: What You Need To Know
When building muscle up without even realising it you can put your self at serious risk of illness, injury and reduce your progress. Sure it is fantastic that you wish to train and build muscle up but at the same time just one single injury, one moment of carelessness can put you out of action for weeks or months and with consequences related to both health and financial matters. Such traumatic incidents can easily be avoided by adhering to the following guidelines. Here we go with our build muscle up safely guidelines:
1) Always check and double check you have put the barbell collars on before you start lifting. If one is even slightly lose it can unbalance the bar making one side heavier. The heavier side will force it’s way down and the weight disc may slide even further until it drops off. When this happens that end will be very light and thrown upwards by the opposing disc. The barbell will then swing through the air and could do some real damage to people or equipment!
2) If you are attempting one rep maximums then do so with a spotter. This is person who watches you and is ready to help you out if you start struggling. The last thing you want to happen is to get stuck underneath a barbell and have it pressing into your body, sounds stupid but I’ve seen it happen.
3) If you are sick keep away from the weights room. sounds really obvious yet I often see people spluttering and coughing there way through a workout whilst running a fever also. Most commonly the session produces no personal bests and the next few days are spent in recovering in bed. Exercise lowers the immune system for a while and if you are already feeling sick this is when the virus will capitalize on your weakness and take a hold of you more.
4) Ensure correct technique is always used. If you perform exercises incorrectly like swinging barbells using your body’s momentum then you not only risk serious injury but you will also make little progress as you aren’t targeting the muscle group well enough. Strictly correct form must always be used.
5) Do not over do it. It is very common when motivation is high especially for those new to bodubuilding that you wish to weight train as much as you can. This motivation is fine but working out everyday or even every second day will likely be too much for the majority of people unless a split routine is used. If you return to the gym before your muscles have recovered completely you will actually weaken them and not strengthen them.
6) Failure to follow a decent diet. Emphasis will have to be placed on muscle building nutrition if you want your muscles to grow. You will be working out in vain if you do not take on board sufficient calories to support muscle growth. During the day eat frequently high quality nutritional meals.
7) Showing off. Trying to lift more and more weight to beat your mates can be fun yet can also end in disaster. It is much more productive to try to beat your own personal best scores. Record your workouts in a training log so that you know what your personal best to beat is. This is much more beneficial and safer for you.
Warm-up sufficiently. If you do not then your muscle are far more likely to tear and get damaged. This can put you out for weeks or months. It is very easy to do, 5-10 minutes aerobic work, a few stretching exercises and then a few warm up sets will be enough.
With those above guidelines in mind and with correct muscle building nutrition there is no reason why you should not build muscle up happily and safely where ever you train.
