How to use the barbell bar

Everyone generally agrees with the health benefits of exercise for weight loss and health preservation. In our lives, there are many fitness equipment that can be used to exercise the body. However, when choosing fitness equipment for exercise, you must choose it according to your physical condition and actual situation. Barbells are a more common type of fitness equipment, and the effect on exercising the back and chest muscles is very obvious.

Weighted pull-ups are a great way to get well-defined back muscles. When doing pull-ups, the distance between your hands grabbing the bar is not fixed, and you should do a set of exercises at several different distances. When hanging on the bar, you should stretch your body as much as possible, and arch your back as much as possible when pulling up; don't worry if your chin cannot pass the bar, just try to get as close to the bar as 5-7 cm. Note that when doing pull-ups, your body should swing or twist as little as possible.

Although many new equipment for training the back and ribs has been invented, the barbell still has its unique advantages. Note that in order to perform the movement accurately, the main point is to pull the handle to a few centimeters above the navel when moving concentrically. For chest muscle exercises, you can try raising one end of the inclined board when doing bench press barbell or lying dumbbell exercises; this allows you to lie on it at a certain angle, and then practice with a barbell or dumbbell of the same weight as before.

When using a barbell, we should pay attention to taking a gradual approach to exercise, because when exercising for the first time, the arm and chest muscles are not particularly developed and the pressure they can withstand is limited. Gradually adding weight to the barbell will give your body time to adapt. What you need to pay special attention to is not to try to increase the weight of the barbell to avoid muscle strain or bone injury.
