How to exercise armpit muscles

I believe many of my friends have experience in muscle training, but they don’t know that the armpit muscles can also be trained. The human armpit muscles are mainly a branch of the latissimus dorsi, so when exercising the muscles, the latissimus dorsi is often exercised. Since the latissimus dorsi muscle group is not a whole muscle, it is difficult to have targeted training methods during the exercise process, and it is often overlooked by us. Here are some methods for training the latissimus dorsi.

The latissimus dorsi is a difficult muscle to train. The best and most effective method is wide-grip pull-ups. This does not necessarily have to be done in the gym, any pull-up bar will do. If you train in the gym, there are many ways, such as barbell bent-over row, seated front pull-down, seated behind the neck pull-down, and prone upright grip pull-up.

The best way is to do the dip. The general process of the movement is: hold the bars with both hands, support your arms on the parallel bars, keep your head upright, chest up, shoulders up, torso and upper limbs perpendicular to the parallel bars, bend your knees and cross your calves over the ankle joints of both feet. The elbow joint is slowly bent, while the shoulder joint is extended and flexed, allowing the body to gradually lower to the lowest position. Pause for a moment, then use your arms to push up to the original position.

Action requirements: 1. The lowering speed should be slow and as low as possible. 2. Do not shake your body at will, keep your balance. 3. Don't complete the movement by swinging your body back and forth. Movement rhythm: lower for about 2 seconds, rest for 1 to 2 seconds, and hold up for 2 seconds. There is also a more special exercise method: push-ups, which strongly stimulate the triceps and front abdominal muscles, and can be performed on parallel bars or mats.

The dip is a double-joint exercise, and different movement requirements will affect the main muscles trained. The pectoralis muscles and triceps produce different training effects. 1. Choice of grip distance: Narrow grip stimulates the triceps more, while wide grip stimulates the chest muscles and side abdominal muscles more.

When training the latissimus dorsi, many training methods are relatively non-mainstream, and some of them are even unheard of or seen by us. Of course, just because these training methods are relatively unfamiliar, we cannot ignore the training of the latissimus dorsi. Although the latissimus dorsi is a series of muscle groups, if the latissimus dorsi is well developed, it can connect the arm and back muscles, thereby improving the body's coordination ability.
