Do you feel that your chest muscles are not the same size? Learn this method, balance the muscles on both sides
In our fitness training, if we want to train our body well and have a good body, then we are likely to encounter many various problems, among which, it is possible I will encounter such a problem about muscle imbalance, that is, I will feel that my chest muscles are not the same size on both sides. For example, I will find that my right chest is much larger than my left chest.
For such a question, what I want to say is that this will be a relatively common problem for many of our friends, because we have to know that we have common hands and infrequent hands.
If you are right-handed, then you may use your right hand more, and then the muscles on the right side of your body are likely to be stronger than the muscles on the left side, so there will be problems such as inconsistency of the chest muscles on both sides. Just as big a problem.
And if we want to solve the problem of different sides of our chest muscles, or shorten the gap on both sides of the chest muscles, then in my opinion, we'd better take such a method.
This method is to use the Smith trainer to perform the unilateral bench press, that is, to use one hand to perform the Smith bench press, so that to a certain extent, it can help us solve the imbalance of the left and right pectoral muscles.
- How to do this unilateral Smith push action well
First of all, before we do this action, we must choose a suitable training weight. Generally speaking, choose a weight that is slightly larger than half of the weight we usually do bench press.
That is to say, if we usually use 100 kilograms when doing the Smith bench press, then it is better to use 60 kilograms of training weight when doing the unilateral Smith bench press.
Secondly, in the process of doing the movement, it is best to add a set of unilateral Smith bench presses on the weak side after completing a set of barbell bench presses or a set of Smith bench presses.
When doing this unilateral Smith bench press, we also need to pay attention, that is, in the process of doing the action, we must maintain the stability of our body, and we cannot let ourselves be in a state of shaking to do the action, otherwise we will It is difficult to get a good training effect.
In this regard, what I want to say to you is that we can add a set of unilateral Smith bench presses on the weak side after finishing a set of flat bench presses, and then complete a set of incline bench presses. After the press, you can add a set of unilateral Smith incline bench presses on the weak side.
Second, the training effect of unilateral Smith bench press
What we need to know about this action is that when we are doing the unilateral Smith bench press, only one side of our body is involved in the action, that is to say, in the process of doing the action, we only practice Weak side of the pectoral muscle.
In this way, to a large extent, the weak side pectoral muscles can be stimulated well by the muscles, so that the weak side chest muscles can get better growth effect, and then the chest muscles on both sides can be shortened. Gap.
