Shock training in bodybuilding
R & D with weights in contact sports was discussed many times, and overall athletes and coaches have come to the conclusion - it's not very necessary, and in some cases completely contraindicated. However, there are some exceptions, as boxers often work with small weights in the "shadow boxing", also used the bar and bench from behind - an exercise that help to enhance the force of impact. Some Japanese contact types used in a heavier hammer, with which again the same deal a blow to the air. After a couple years of intense training fighter boasts a significant increase speed and power performance. But is the theme of shock technology in bodybuilding - here we will focus on amateur direction - rises extremely rare, and it is in vain.
Even Yuri Vlasov said that in bodybuilding you need to add a little more speed exercises, dilute it stretching exercises - and then it will be the best sport. With the last statement, I would argue - yet for full development is better swimming. But the need to add speed training exercises I completely trust. Here we must understand that professional bodybuilders such work unnecessarily, it may even lead to regression. Bulky muscles hold down movement, do not completely straighten the arm. That's why boxers so rarely work on weight.
Practice shows that the 15-30 minute work on the bags at the end of exercise can burn up to 5 kg of body fat in a couple of months. Increased mobility, is short of breath - if it has already been observed, it is possible to increase the muscle mass of hands. So in just two months, I was able to increase your biceps to 2 cm, from 40 to 42. And this despite the fact that sports a plateau in this regard I have observed more than a year. If the gym is not pears that we have not encountered so often - at least everywhere I've been it has always had - that can take 1-2 kg dumbbells and strike him on the air. Strictly speaking, you need to perform on three different impact - direct (jet), the side (hook) and lower (uppercut). If you have never engaged in boxing, it can be applied only direct blows. And it does not matter how you get it done. We're taking care of is not boxing skills and develop the muscles of hands.
Every workout, I recommend to put on 100 strokes each type of each hand. In impact such training nearly everyday pull-up bar. It strengthens the muscles of the arms along its entire length - from shoulder to wrist.
At first, you feel tired after completing the first 50-70 strokes. This is normal. In addition to strengthening the hands, such training will lead to a significant increase in the force of impact, improve endurance of the upper body, in rare cases - to increase muscle arms.
As practice shows, this training is very responsive biceps, especially when combined with exercises on it. Different athletes may be different rate of progress. One of my friends boxer ever bodybuilding, has managed to build 48 cm by hand only pull-ups and everyday impact workout. Certainly, expect this progress is not necessary, but to increase the biceps for a couple of inches is possible. In addition, the new exercise will simply avoid muscle adaptation.
