Why do you always say that the muscles trained in the gym are not flexible?
There are many ways to exercise, and the muscle shape of each way will be different. If you just want to exercise muscles, a gym that is generally acceptable to everyone may be more popular. Then why do people always say that the muscles trained in the gym are inflexible, and the more they practice, the heavier they get? Let's not answer this question directly for the time being, but try to discuss it from other aspects.

Besides the equipment training in the gym, what other fitness methods can you think of to make you more flexible and build your muscles? Experienced people will naturally cite prisoner fitness, street fitness, unarmed fitness and other fitness methods that rarely use equipment. This kind of fitness itself was clearly stated at the time of publicity, which has the function of making the body more flexible and exerting pure strength. In fact, this statement is generally accepted by everyone, and many people give up gym fitness for these two points. So, why can these fitness methods make the body flexible and develop good strength?

First of all, we must figure out what kind of body is flexible. The most direct performance is sensitive reaction, rapid movement of legs and feet, perfect coordination of upper and lower limbs, and good performance in various sports. On the whole, it is the self-control ability of the body and has little to do with the outside world. Many of the fitness methods listed above belong to weight-bearing training with their own weight, and the training actions are mostly push-ups, pull-ups, squats with bare hands, handstands and their various variants. This will make the degree of muscular development distributed according to the size of stress, which is more conducive to exerting the overall strength. The end result is that you can get excellent upper limb strength and improve lower limb strength (there are really too few leg exercises). However, it should be noted that if the weight gain is slow, the body's activity ability will also improve. If you gain weight too fast, your body's ability to move will also decrease.

Some people say that fitness without equipment is strength, but this strength cannot be simply understood as absolute strength, and certain conditions need to be added: at the same height and weight, muscles trained without equipment are likely to be stronger than those trained in the gym. The main reason for this situation is that gym training mainly relies on weight gain to improve strength, while fitness without equipment mainly relies on nerve adjustment to improve strength. Fitness in the gym is mainly to practice muscles, and the weight will increase rapidly with the increase of strength. If you do fitness without equipment, your weight will not grow as fast as in the gym, but your strength can still be improved very well. In fact, weight is closely related to strength. Let's take a look at the following squat world records:

The record of 52kg class is 30 1 kg, which was created by Andrezej Stanaszek (2003 1 1.5), which is 6.0 1 times his weight. The record of 82kg class is 424kg, which was created by Derek willcocks (2011April 16), which is 5. 17 times his weight. The record of 100 kg class is 499 kg, which was created by Sam Bird (June 7, 2008), which is 5.02 times his weight; 110kg class record is 517kg, created by Chuck vogel Bohr (August 23rd, 2009), which is 4.75 times his weight. The record of 125 kg class is 540 kg, which was created by Dave Hoff (20 12 March 1 1), which is 4.32 times his weight; The record of 140kg class is 575kg, which was created by Jonas Rantanen (20110.08), which is 4. 18 times his weight. The record of140kg is 574kg, which was created by Donnie Thompson (August 2065438 +0 1, August 2065438 +0), which is 3.28 times his weight.

With the increase of weight, the relative strength (the ratio of squat weight to one's own weight) shows a downward trend. This shows that the strength gained by muscle growth can't keep up with the speed of weight growth, and strengthening the nerve's ability to recruit muscle fibers and the body's coordination ability is an efficient way to enhance strength. However, muscle hypertrophy is still the most important way to obtain a substantial increase in ultimate strength.

Therefore, there is no difference between life and death. As long as it is muscle, it is useful, even if it is obtained by injecting steroids. The only really dead muscle is the muscle that has no physiological function and will burden the body. For example, some people inject Sislong into muscles to make them look bigger. This practice is like muscle breast augmentation surgery, which will not bring any strength improvement, but also cause harm to the body.

Finally, fitness with or without equipment will have an impact on the flexibility of the body (the relative development of upper limbs and lower limbs). So pay attention to the degree when training. Exceeding it will naturally affect the flexibility of the body, rather than simply putting a hat on the equipment fitness, don't you think so?
