Do You Know You Have The Right Exercise Technique
I have realize that it is wrong to teach correct exercise technique for being a trainer for several years and gone through a number of high level corrective exercise courses. I will explain my reasons even though this sound likes a strange thing to say.
Biochemical Imbalance can be assessed from every single client that I have started. Our bodies do move exactly how they should be and that is simple. The examples are poor posture, tight muscles and miss aligned hips, so how can we know if we have the correct exercise? When you are training a muscle group you can ask yourself if that group are working the hardest and the support muscles are secondary in the movement if doing the exercise.
For example if you are doing a sit up (crunch) is your core engaged and do you feel your tummy muscles working? Or are your neck, shoulders and lower back doing more of the work. Depending on the individuals fitness and muscle imbalances will depend on their ability and position to perform this exercise. So many trainers simple put each client in the same position, that is the optimal position, and expect them to complete the exercise. In my experience each client is different and therefore each client’s needs to be in a slightly different position to hit the same muscle.
The same goes for a bench press. It’s a very simple exercise in practice but very different in reality. The chest can be difficult to activate when attempting a bar bell bench press. Arms, back, shoulders can all be used in this exercise leaving the chest the last muscle to activate. In some cases I have had to put my clients in some quite unusual positions in order to get them to ‘feel’ their chest activating and then move into correct alignment gradually. As a result I get much better results and eventually get my clients moving in the right way.
When you are doing and exercise concentrate on activating the muscles that you intend to work and play around with your positioning until you find what works for you. If you are doing a chest press, your shoulders are taking strain and you are in what would traditionally be the correct position, it’s not the correct position for you so change it until you find what works, and work towards correct technique.
My conclusion is this. Feel your muscles working, get into a position that works for you, be aware of how you body is moving on that day, correct technique is individual.
