Your bench press is more powerful than others. If you push harder, you will give yourself strong confidence and satisfaction. Will give him a strong motivation to continue to strengthen training.
But after a while, when the strength and girth of the pectoral muscles reach a certain level. The growth of pectoral muscles will enter a bottleneck period, when the growth of pectoral muscles will be very slow.
But at this time, some people will find that their chest muscles are getting smaller and smaller, but the strength of bench press has not decreased, but it has improved to some extent.
This situation is actually that he has entered the fitness misunderstanding. This situation does not mean that his chest muscles have weakened, but that his body has begun to deform.
You should know that the human body is not always fixed, it will be deformed because of our usual bad habits. Incorrect fitness can also cause these bad changes in our bodies.
In our body, all muscles have their own functions. For example, the biceps brachii allows us to bend. At the same time, there are corresponding muscles that have the opposite effect, such as triceps brachii, which can straighten our arms.
These two muscles are antagonistic muscles. There is an opposite effect between the two.
Similarly, the pectoral muscles also have muscles that fight against them, that is, the muscles of our backs. When someone began to strengthen his chest muscles, as his chest muscles became stronger and stronger, the opposing back muscles were delayed.
At this time, there will be pronation and then forward movement between our chest muscles and back muscles, which is equivalent to the humerus of the middleman, or between our shoulders.
This action is what we usually call hunchback and chest clamping. The most obvious feature of people in this state is that when they stand naturally, the back of their hands will move forward.
Normal people's normal standing posture, their hands naturally hang down at their sides, and their palms are attached to their bodies. The second is obvious hunchback, which others can see at a glance.
If this happens, you should immediately reduce the intensity of chest muscle training and increase the intensity of back muscle training. At the same time, stretch and relax your chest muscles. Otherwise, the further development of the pectoral muscles will not only lead to small growth, but also cause a series of problems in the shoulders.
It is harmful to health. This goes against the original intention of fitness.
Fitness must be carried out on the basis of health, and the meaning of fitness is to keep fit. If you blindly pursue the strength of a certain part, it will be harmful to your health.
So, when you exercise your chest, don't just focus on your chest muscles. You know, back exercises can make your chest muscles stand up and become stronger, which is also very helpful to the stability of your body structure.
The more you practice your chest muscles, the smaller they get. Stop it, you're ruining your body.
