Dress Better

Buy only workout clothes that are black, white, or gray.
They'll go with everything, and you'll never again waste
time looking for a T-shirt that matches your gold-and-purple
Lakers shorts.

OK, I admit, this was a wimpy blog....... LOL

Repair Muscle Faster

Recover faster from a hard workout by lightly exercising the same
muscles the following day. Use a light weight—about 20 percent
of the weight you can lift one time—and do two sets of 25 repetitions.
This will deliver more blood and nutrients into your muscles so they repair faster.

This is the first time I have heard of this. If anyone else has heard this and if it is true, please let me know

Improve Quickness

For faster foot speed in sports, try this move: Start with your feet hip-width
apart and your hands at your sides. Lift your left foot in front of you, touch
it with your right hand, and lower it to the floor. Lift your right foot, touch it
with your left hand, and lower it. Then touch your left foot behind you with
your right hand, then your right foot behind you with your left hand. Go for
20 seconds at a time, moving as fast as you can, and repeat for a total of three to five sets.

Save Your Shoulders

Decrease the weight by 10 percent when you change your grip.
So if you've been benchpressing 135 pounds for 10 repetitions
with a medium grip, drop to 120 pounds when you switch to a
wide grip. You'll be stressing your joints and muscles in a different
way than they're used to, which can cause injury.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND SPARKERS!

Thank you for reading my tips! I hope some of them help :)

Thanks. I'm just getting back into barbell bench press after a long stint with just dumbbells. I'll be able to use this advice. Report Inappropriate Comment

Stretch for Strength

Between sets, take 20 to 30 seconds to stretch the
muscle you just worked. Boston researchers found
that men who did this increased their strength by 20 percent.

A lady at my Zumba class told me to stretch before and after my class and also at home when I strength train. I never realized how important it is, thanks for the info. Report Inappropriate Comment
