When body building, it is important to develop a full chest.  It is the first thing people see as you walk towards them.  There are many ways to work the chest.  I will cover these in a series of blog posts.

Let’s discuss the chest press.  There are many types of chest press exercises.  Some of the most effective forms of chest presses are dumbbell chest presses.  These can be performed with a couple of very effective variations, a flat dumbbell chest press and an incline dumbbell chest press.

Full range of motion is very important for performing weightlifting exercises.  There are many reasons for this as I'll discuss below. There are times when partial repetitions are beneficial, however in general to build strong flexible muscles it's important to perform the full range of motion.

Re-rack your weights
No one wants to re-rack at the gym for you. You might be someone who is using 45’s on the weight rack and someone might not be able to use that same amount of weight. They might not even be strong enough to move the weights. Be courteous and re-rack after you are finished.

Welcome to my webpage.  I'm a mindset coach who specializes in your physical wellbeing.  I love fitness and being in shape and I want others to be healthy too.  Being healthy doesn't mean you have to be a body builder.  Nor does it mean you need to be a fitness guru.  It means you need to be happy with who you are.  If you are a runner do that, a biker, make sure you ride, if you surf, go surfing.  We are all different with different goals and ambitions.  

I want to help you in a two-fold way.  First of all if you are a couch potato then I want to get you off the couch and help you find what you like doing.  I want you to be happy being healthy and take care of yourself by doing what you like.  Part of that is finding foods you like to eat that are healthy for you.  These two things will help you become healthy.  My second goal in helping you; I want you to be happy and motivated in doing the things that make you healthy.  I want your mindset to be a healthy mindset.  To look at the exercise you do (again surf, row, hike, run etc.) as something which is fun and adventurous.  I want your mindset to be so healthy that your body follows behind.  Your mindset is what is important; after all where the mind leads the body will follow.  That is much more than a saying, it is the truth.

More posts to follow and I'm looking forward to learning all about each of you.  Until then; Happy Lifting and Strive to Arrive!
