Lifting Routines The last fitnes...

The last fitness weightlifting post revealed the best leg exercises available to strengthen the many muscles that are found within the leg. The muscles within the legs breakdown as: quads, hamstrings, groin, gluts, and calves. So you can obvious see the importance of strengthen the legs. Not only that, the legs are the foundation of the body so without strong legs, you can’t expect to be able to strengthen the rest of the body successfully. Therefore, all your lifting routines should include at least one day of leg exercises.

Another area that needs to be target with fitness weightlifting exercises is the back. The back is another important muscle, especially the lower back. To be able to strengthen your legs, a strong lower back is a must. It provides the legs with extra support helping with the lifting techniques and it prevents so many injuries that could occur to weightlifters. Many don’t realize that the most common injury happens to the lower back whether it be a muscle pull or a spinal injury. Without using a full back workout in your lifting routines, you’ll be making your goals more difficult to obtain.

Now that I’ve explained the fitness weightlifting importance of the back, let me go ahead and reveal the best exercises for the lower back area. There are three major parts of the back: lower back, upper back and the outside back (lats). It’s important to work on all three areas of the back to obtain overall muscular strength. However, the lower back is the most important part that very few weightlifters take advantage of. With good lower back strength, you’ll be able to develop good lifting techniques and avoid terrible injuries that can happen with a weak back.

DEADLIFT:

The deadlift is the best fitness weightlifting exercise for strengthening and stabilizing your back. However, it is a very stressful exercise because of the heavy weight that’s used and proper lifting techniques are a must. Without using the correct form, injuries will undoubtedly happen, the most common being hernias. I would not recommend this exercise to any beginner weightlifter but when you do become more experienced and do have a stronger back, the deadlift should be included in your lifting routines.

STRAIGHT LEG DEADLIFT:

If you are a beginner weightlifter, this fitness weightlifting exercise is a great alternative to the regular deadlift. Less weight is needed to achieve good results. However, proper lifting techniques are still very important to prevent injuries that can still occur to those who have weaker lower backs. I suggest starting off with less weight until you perfect the form then go ahead and push yourself.

GOOD MORNINGS:

This is another great fitness weightlifting exercise for the lower back. I would suggest this exercise for all lower back lifting routines accompanied with either the regular deadlift or the straight-leg deadlift. Very little weight is needed to perform this exercise and injuries are less likely to occur.

I know that some of these fitness weightlifting exercises might be unfamiliar to you, especially for those beginner lifters, so instead of boring you with more words, I’ll give you a website where you can go ahead and visit. It’s so important to use the right lifting techniques on every exercise so please visit this website to make sure you do each exercise properly. Go Here
