Force Limiters in Fitness Training
View as still doing the same training and the same diet as our partner session, it rose significantly more weight than we can be really frustrating.
We illogical explanations and even divine, when in reality there are a number of key factors relating to restrictions or ease of force development. Let’s review them briefly:
- Genetic factors: You remember that summer we discussed the natural ease of Jamaicans to speed development of its higher proportion of fast fibers (type II or FT), responsible for highly anaerobic efforts. By nature, can be deployed on or capacity of the same type of fibers or other individual to be significantly different in this aspect.
- State of the spine: One of the indicators of the health of the person as a limiter of some efforts. Vertebral pathologies ranging from herniated discs to just hyperlordosis can afford less effort or performance against our peers.
- Stabilizing musculature and other groups “agonists” Going to practice in the bench press, despite being the example used in chest exercises, involving many more muscles than just the pectoralis major (shoulder, triceps, forearms). An injury or lack of strength in some of these may also have the effect of reducing the total weight lifted.
It is also essential not to overlook the “CORE”, abdominal and spinal muscles, carries much of the active stabilization of the body, essential in strength training with free weights, where we have an external support (the machine itself ). If we have this atrophied muscles, we can efficiently align the remaining body parts for a proper job.
-Tendons and ligaments: Besides the effect “messenger” of force, are another key factor in working with loads. We consider that, if a part of past injuries (eg fractures, cracks or simply hypermobility), we naturally have more or less force on them, so that transmission can be regulated to them. Notice how many of bandages and protections that should carry weight lifters knees, wrists, etc.. Looking for a kind of external support to joints to better withstand such high loads.
