Stretching

Stretching is an essential component of physical fitness and can provide numerous benefits, such as improved flexibility, increased range of motion, enhanced athletic performance, and reduced muscle soreness. There are various types of stretching techniques, including static stretching, dynamic stretching, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching. Static stretching involves holding […] Read more »

Rocking calf

The barbell rocking calf exercise is a variation of calf raises that targets the calf muscles (specifically the gastrocnemius and soleus). It involves using a barbell for added resistance while performing the calf raise movement. Possible Stretches to do prior to exercise: Warmups to do prior to exercise: How to […] Read more »

Incline curl

The barbell incline curl is a strength-training exercise that targets the biceps muscles. It is performed on an incline bench with a barbell, and it helps to develop strength and size in the biceps, particularly the long head of the muscle. The incline position places greater emphasis on the upper […] Read more »

Concentration curl

The barbell concentration curl is a strength-training exercise that primarily targets the biceps muscles. It is a variation of the traditional concentration curl but using a barbell instead of a dumbbell. This exercise helps to develop strength and size in the biceps, which are important for various pulling and lifting […] Read more »
