BARBELL PULLING | STANDING POSITION
Lifting the barbell to the chin is the main exercise for training the deltoid muscles, primarily their midsection. The trapezius muscles are also involved in the process. It is not recommended to perform this exercise without first warming up. It is important to avoid swinging the barbell and sudden jerks, as this can negatively affect the load and lead to injury. If an athlete has weak back and abdominal muscles, it is recommended to use an athletic belt and other protective equipment to prevent spinal injuries. Too much weight can disrupt the technique and increase the risk of injury, so you should not do forced and negative repetitions, as well as use cheating due to the complexity of the exercise.
Lifting a barbell to the chin can be a dangerous exercise for the shoulders due to the biomechanics of movement. When lifting the barbell vertically, a subacromial syndrome may occur, associated with pinching of the tendons of the rotator cuff of the shoulder. This is due to the pressure of the shoulder blade on the capsule of the shoulder joint when raising the arm. Therefore, doing this exercise in a power style with an average number of repetitions can be risky. Performing with a large number of repetitions is considered optimal. The chin pull can be replaced with other shoulder exercises, such as inclined swings with dumbbells with one hand, leaning on something. Such swings are more effective for the development of the middle part of the deltoid muscles and less dangerous for the rotator cuff of the shoulder.
WHAT ARE YOU BUYING
Do not be mistaken, believing that power sports are simple and accessible, and they can be mastered independently, without the participation of specialists. They are no less likely to be injured than when skiing if you do not have knowledge of movement physiology and proper exercise technique. Your body is an extremely complex system that requires careful and precise approach. Therefore, in our videos it is necessary to highlight:
- Fundamentals of exercise physiology
- Description of the features of the target muscle groups
- Details of the movement technique
- Tempo, rhythm, time under load
- The number of sets and repetitions per exercise, taking into account your characteristics
- Rest time and rules between sets
- Typical errors
- Safety precautions
- Breathing technique
- Mental focus on the phases of muscle work
