The strength of pectoral muscles can not only give us a tall and powerful figure, but also greatly enhance the strength of our entire upper body.
Therefore, in our fitness training, we must practice the pectoral muscles well, but some people can't find the feeling of pectoral muscle strength when training the pectoral muscles.
Then next, Bian Xiao, I will tell you how to make us better find the feeling of our chest muscle strength when we practice our chest.
First of all, if you want to practice a muscle well, you must first know the function of this muscle, that is, what kind of movement our bones and joints will make when this muscle contracts.
To practice pectoralis major, we should also practice pectoralis major. Generally speaking, when our pectoralis major contracts, its main function is to make our shoulder joint bend horizontally.
The so-called horizontal flexion of shoulder joint means that when our shoulder joint is in a horizontal state, our hands are close to the inside.
Therefore, when we practice chest, we must pay attention to whether our shoulder joint can better complete horizontal flexion, and only in this way can our pectoralis major muscle contract better.
When our pectoralis major can contract well, our pectoralis major will naturally feel some strength, which is something we should pay attention to when practicing chest.
Secondly, when we practice chest, especially when we do some isolated training of chest muscles, such as training movements like clamping chest, we must control our body well and don't use strength to complete the movements.
When doing isolated training of pectoral muscles, most of the strength should come from your own pectoral muscles. Don't do unnecessary movements to let other muscles of your body, such as shoulder muscles or arm muscles, help you complete the movements.
What we need to know is that every different chest muscle training action needs different attention, so we should pay attention to the problems mentioned by Bian Xiao on the basis of more standardized completion of the action.
For example, when I practice chest, I always do a training action, the flat bench press of barbell. When we do this action, we must be careful not to overexert the triceps on our arms.
In other words, when we do bench press, although we must rely on the triceps brachii to push the barbell, we should not rely too much on it, but rely more on our chest muscles to push the barbell.
