The Triple Threat Workout: Bench, Squats, and Deadlifts -part2-

squats :
Squats are often called the "king of exercises " because of large quantities of it activates muscle groups. Michael Jocson , PT , MS , OCS , CSCS , owner of Jocson Strength & Conditioning , Howard Beach , NY who commented , " The squat is perhaps the most effective exercise for the full development of body - weight training. The legs can move the body, but it takes a strong and stable core upper body to provide a basis in which the legs can produce force . This is especially true when you start adding weight to your squats. whether it is a squat, front squat , split squat or overhead squat , many muscles of your whole body work together to lower and raise your center of gravity. "Most people choose leg press or leg extensions are probably easier to achieve burst peak , but if you 're not squatting , you may be missing on some serious gains in strength and size.
Squats Total increase body strength
Research supports that acute increases in anabolic hormones (GH and testosterone ) can improve strength gains . Protocols using sets moderate to strong resistance, but multiple of 10-12 repetition maximum , and shorter rest periods (1-2 minutes rest between sets and exercises ) have been shown to produce high levels of both hormones During heavier than anabolic resistance ( -5 1 RM) , the longer periods of rest ( ± 3 min) , and fewer sets ( 1-3). In addition, it was demonstrated that the increase of the anabolic hormone response is proportional to the size of the exercised muscle (ie Squats will always answers anabolic hormone acute upper leg extensions ) 13.14 . Researchers from Denmark asked if the response of the acute anabolic hormone had an effect on increasing muscle strength. They had young evils make a rather unusual workout routine.



    
A group only perform bicep curls . They performed four sets of biceps curls sitting at 60 % of 1 RM were followed by four sets of biceps standing at 60% of 1 -RM . A total of 8 to 12 repetitions were performed in each game with a minute and a half of rest between sets.
    
The other group formed two arms and legs. They made the exact same protocol, but they understood arm leg at the end of their routine. Four sets of seated leg press to 10 Maximum repetition followed were at the end of the routine.


The subjects performed the routine for nine weeks and had strength tests performed in isometric arm at the end of the study. Hormone levels rest remained unchanged in both groups at the end of nine weeks. Plasma testosterone and plasma cortisol increased significantly in the arms and legs training group, but not in the group that has shaped arms . Plasma GH increased in all stress tests , but I increased significantly in plasma GH legs and arms group . The main conclusion of the study is that there is a greater relative increase in isometric force when anabolic hormonal responses (GH and testosterone) are enhanced by the formation of an additional major muscle group in strength training the arms15 . This indicates a link between the magnitude of hormonal responses and improved strength , hormone levels that occur during this can be activated physiologically .
Be a Man: Ditch the Smith Machine
Free weight squats are generally more preferred by bodybuilders and strength athletes trained machines are considered because they provide a more volatile year , requiring greater recruitment of the trunk muscles . Go to any college or hardcore gym and you'll find plenty of squat racks and very few machines Smith. Machines, however I , are easier to use by beginners and require spotters often less than the exercise of free weights. You may think you are getting a good workout for the legs on a smith machine, but scientists will disagree with you. Canadian researchers sensors hooked around the legs of men and had them perform barbell squats or Smith machine squats . They found a muscle activation 43% higher during the free weight squat compared to the Smith Machine squat. The activation of the extensor muscles and hamstrings knee were higher during free weight squat , while the activation of the trunk stabilizers was similar between the two periods. This indicates that the free weight squat may be greater than the Smith Machine squat for training the major muscle groups of the legs and can result in the development of superior strength and hypertrophy of these muscle groups with training16 long term.
Plastic Man to become better Squats !
I refer to the use of plastic strips during squat for better resistance. Another linear variable resistance because , as provided by the elastic resistance is beneficial is due to what is called the curve of muscle strength . The linear variable resistance provided by elastic tubing better mimics the strength curves of most muscles. A force curve refers to the way a muscle or resistance changes of the muscle group on range of motion. Because of their anatomy , most rise over the entire range of movement to some extent a muscle . Always with squats as an example, as squat from a seated position , the muscle becomes stronger until about halfway range of motion . Malthus , is the muscle of the lowest in the beginning of the year and the highest at the point midway of the leg exercise . When you do a squat with free weights, the single is limited to how much I can use the resistance by force squats are at the beginning of the year ( the low point). That means you during squats, the muscle does not get enough resistance when the muscle is at its strongest point in the range of motion. When you perform a squat with elastic tubes , but we , the resistance increases as the range of motion increases. This means that the muscle receives greater resistance to its highest point in the range of motion and strength Receiving is more appropriate to better stimulate strength adaptations . A study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research that when training athletes used elastic band in addition to the free training - weight they had a lot more power for the legs when they are used only free - training17 weight. Also a recent study reported in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research has indicated that the tear strip to increase strength ! The athletes were randomly assigned to one of three training groups : strong resistance / slow motion , light resistance and fast movements or fast movements Housed which consisted of incorporating resistance bands. Three weeks of habituation (12 training sessions) were included before the test, during which the performance of the technique has been trained and taught basic fitness . The results of this study show a definite advantage to training with speeds faster travel with the inclusion of bands for the development of lower body power among collegiate athletes . These results support the idea that squats can be improved through the use of variable training with elastic resistance bands . It appears, on the basis that these two athletes training with bands Increased strength and power18 .
