The Truth Behind Lifting Weights And Getting Bulky

Leave a Comment / Fitness Blog, Workouts / By dannilou03

The Truth Behind Lifting Weights And Getting Bulky It’s the age-old question I’m continually asked by clients. “If I lift weights, won’t I end up looking like a CrossFitter?” And the answer is, well, if you do it seven days a week for five years then… maybe. But what does the word “bulky” even mean? …

And finally a current favourite exercise of the fitness industries. Active hip flexion moves can form a part of an overall approach to helping improve the function of the hip. But as a stand alone exercise it probably is limited to what it’s offering. Make sure you check out Part 1 & 2. What other joints / movements do you want advice on?

The hard truth is that the people who are chasing

The hard truth is that the people who are chasing the 'soreness' by doing sh*t they see on the internet are simply creating a lot of tissue remodelling with no idea of progression. Therefore, they spend a lot of time getting sore and have absolutely no results.

Shoulder Press Technique

First up, just to say that overhead pressing is one of the hardest/slowest upper body exercises to see consistent progression with, and it’s the lift that has the most scope for form to fall apart. Usually, the lower back is very arched, range of motion is compromised, and the elbows are jammed out wide, which feels really gnarly.

So here are some tips to help:

1️⃣Use a high incline, NOT a vertical bench.

2️⃣Elevate the feet to rock the entire pelvis posteriorly— plus, you can push against it to keep the hips set.

3️⃣Bring the elbows forward slightly so you’re not on the end range of the joints’ rotational capacity.

4️⃣Make sure you come all the way down—even if that means you can’t get the weight into the full lockout.

5️⃣Try not to lock out fully at the top—maintain a slight bend in the elbow to keep the tension on the target muscle.

Save this post to give these a go!

RANDOM WORKOUTS I’ve used this line throughout

RANDOM WORKOUTS

I’ve used this line throughout most of my career, but I am also very aware that as a percentage of the population of the planet, people just need to move more.

It’s estimated that only 25% of Americans and 50% of Brits meet or exceed the government recommended weekly daily activity amounts.

So, to a degree, I care more about people just doing anything, let alone worrying about if it’s random or not.

But, I exist in a pocket of the industry where I talk to people who are putting in a lot of hours and effort, and for the time commitment, they don’t feel they are seeing the results their commitment deserves.

And, for that population, this becomes an important topic.

We do not have all the time in the world, so sometimes you might need to do your cardio and strength training in the same session. What you need to ensure is that your body is properly fuelled to deal with these demands.

In this week's episode of The Smart Strength Training Podcast, I am answering the question: Does Cardio Affect Your Ability To Gain Muscle?
