Grips

• Grip types for barbell (BB) or dumbbell (DB):– Pronated

– Supinated

– Alternating

– Neutral• DB only

Grips

• Normal grip– Shoulder-width distance of individual

– Differs according to individual’s size

• Narrow grip– Smaller than shoulder width

• Wide grip– Larger than shoulder width

Proper Breathing Technique

• Important for effective and safe resistance training

• Improper technique can cause discomfort, excessive heart rate, and blood pressure responses– May lead to cardiovascular event in individuals with

health issues

Proper Breathing Technique

• Exhaling during CON phase

• Inhaling during ECC phase

• Exhaling during exertion

• Not holding breath (Valsalva maneuver) throughout entire set– Except when weight intensity reaches 80 percent or

more of 1 RM

Exercise Equipment and Safety

• Examine equipment prior to use

• Check machines for:– Worn or missing pads

– Frayed or nicked cables

– Broken handles, weight pins, or clamps

• Do not use resistance tube showing areas of weakness

Exercise Equipment and Safety

• Check DB to ensure:– Magnetic weights attached correctly

– Rack properly anchored

– Individual hooks not broken/cracked

– Weight plates face inward on bar and secured with lock collar

– Weight properly balanced

– Weight correct

Exercise Equipment and Safety

• Check stability ball for:– Proper size

– Degree of inflation

Increase Resistance for Exercise Progression

• With machine, DB, or BB:– Add more weight

• With resistance tube:– Use thicker tube

– Combine two easier tubes

– Fold one easier tube to create intermediate level

Increase Resistance for Exercise Progression

• With stability ball:– Change position on ball

– Change angle of incline of torso to ground

Spotting

• Used during exercises where weight held above head or chest

• Spotter keeps individual safe by preventing equipment from falling on him/her

Spotting

• Performed in kneeling, standing, or sitting positions

• Assisting– Spotter helps individual through last few repetitions of

set

Selectorized and Plate-Loaded Machine Exercises

• Selectorized machine– User inserts pin into stack of weights

• Plate-loaded machine– User adds free-weight-style plates to machine

• Both provide fixed movement pattern specific to machine– Usually requires different machine for each exercise
