Shoulder Exercise-Bear Crawls
On your list of new home gym essentials, it is good to keep a set of slam balls. They are versatile, durable and have some significant benefits for
serious exercise routine followers. Interestingly, just because they are called 'slam balls', it does not mean that all you can do is slam them against the
floor or wall – there are plenty of good exercises with long term benefits for the users of these special gym balls.
We list below some of these workouts. Also make note that slam balls for sale are available in 10lb to 150lb weight range so you can choose the right
size and weight as per your own body characteristics.
A shoulder exercise – Bear Crawl – For this you need to make sure that there is enough space to crawl up a decent length. Put the slam ball on floor
before you and get into the posture of a bear crawl. Begin with your hands and knees. Once you are in a proper position, push up the toes with your
buttock in ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Keep your legs in front – they should be bent at the knees. Then lean your upper body backwards in a way that it creates a V–shape along with your
thighs. Holding the slam ball with both hands twist your upper body sideways – left and right. To increase the intensity of this workout, you can lift the
feet off the ground while keeping the knees still somewhat bent.
Exercise for core, upper body, and lower body – Squat Throw – For this exercise you need to have adequate space to throw a decent distance. Take the
slam ball with both hands at your chest and feet shoulder gap apart. Also take care to see that your hands are on the sides of ball but not under it.
Then squat down and as you come up, throw out the slam ball from your chest. You have to throw it forward to the biggest distance possible. For this
exercise men and women will need to have balls of different weights. The standard recommendation is 30lb for males and 20lb for

A Short Note On 405 Lbs Squats At The End Of Spring...
Get to 405 lbs squats at the end of spring semester 2016 Be better at effectively communicating with fellow students,peers, and professors to reach
academic success Develop and implement time management skills Develop skills and strategies for collaborative work Get to 405 pounds squats
at the end of spring semester 2016 My main goal for this spring semester, is to get my squats to at least 405 pounds. I am on a workout program,
known as "Mad Cow" which focuses on the three main exercise workouts. which are squat, bench, and deadlift. For the sake of focus, I narrowed
down my goal to my squat as my main goal. The program implements a three day per week workout routine, that varies in intensity. For example,
Monday will be considered "heavy" which is the top set (max amount of weight you can lift, that given week). Wednesday will be a "light" day, a
recovery day essentially that allows the participant to recover, working out other muscles group that weren 't trained on Monday. Followed by
Friday which will be a "medium" day, meaning it's a combination of both the heavy and light. Where I will be working out to the next top set for
the next upcoming week. I generally move up by a five pounds increments, on a weekly basis. And adjust my progress and workout from there,
deciding whether I should move up or stay at the same weight until I see best fit that I am able to lift that amount of weight for at least five reps.

The Squat Oinochoe
The Squat Oinochoe was found in Corinth, Greece. It is believed that it was made around 590–570 BCE which places this piece of pottery in the
Archaic Period of Greece. When it was discovered in Corinth, it was obvious it was influenced greatly due to the cultural interactions between the
Aegean and the eastern Mediterranean regions during the eighth and seventh centuries BCE. The vase has feral goats, panthers, creatures, and oriental
styled floral motifs on the body and shoulder of the vase. This style of vase is known as Oinochoe in Greek it is split up into two words "oinos" meaning
wine, and "cheo" meaning I pour2. These types of vessels are usually single–handled, and usually taller than its width.2 They were used to pour and
hold ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This vessel is going against the usual Oinochoe from the time, because it has a short shoulder and body, while being wide at the same time with a
broad almost none existent foot. The paintings on the base and shoulder are broken up into registers which can trace back to Mesopotamian culture
and Egyptian society as well. Both registers on the shoulder and body depict two dimensional figures along side with oriental flowers. In both
registers, there is an animal depicted, which is a panther. The panther is one of the forms that Dionysus the god of wine, agriculture, and fertility of
nature takes on.3 The panther on this Oinochoe leads us to believe it represents Dionysus because he is the god of wine, and this particular vessel
was used for wine. Another figure on the vase is a winged figure, however that part of the vase has faded to the point where it cannot be analyzed or
examined. What can be seen however are lions, which at the time in ancient Greece showed wealth and power and can often be found in many Greek
myths. Lions during this time are depicted roaring with their mouths open and their body flexing and tall, poised to show power and authority. The
registers may have the same animals and creatures on them; however the register on the body of the vase has more of the animals. The final animal
that is depicted is a feral goat, the only way it can described and identified as feral, is because it is grazing where the lions and bird like

Personal Trainers Research Paper
Personal trainers are trainers for a reason. They know how to transform the body with good nutrition and exercise. The average person does not have
the knowledge needed to correlate their fitness program with diet. As a result, mistakes are often made and those mistakes hinder progress. Diet and
exercise go hand in hand and there must be a balance. That balance is where our weekly nutrition tip comes in. Check it out.
Nutrition Tip
This time let's talk fat. Yes, fat. When someone wants to lose weight or achieve a more defined physical physique they immediately think, "I have to
eliminate the fat from my diet". Of course dietary fat should be consumed in moderation but it is needed. The only dietary fat in any meal plan must be
healthy fats. This means monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats and omega–3 fatty acids. For most, 20% of their diet should be fat and the
remaining 80% will be protein and complex carbs. When good fats are consumed not only do they deliver endless benefits to the body like lowering
bad cholesterol levels and strengthening the immune system but they actually assist in fat burn. Healthy fats do this by decreasing cortisol levels (a
cause of belly fat) and conditions the body to burn fat more efficiently. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Squat Patterns
A competent squat pattern requires degrees of stability and mobility from the joints of the lower body (foot, ankle, knee, and hip) and the upper body
(thoracic and lumbar spine). Strength and Conditioning professionals have knowledge regarding each joints anatomical function and its contribution to
optimal movement. The factors that affect an athlete's ability to perform the test with symmetry and co–ordination is multi–factorial (lack of
co–ordination, balance issues, restricted ROM, anthropometrics and previous injury)(Adrian, 1995; Cook, 2003).
Ideal kinematics for an overhead squat in both descending and ascending movements according to literature suggests that the thoracic spine be slightly
extended with the lumbar spine in neutral with the cervical spine held in neutral. While at the lower body the hips should be flexed and aligned with
the shoulders, the knee should be flexed and aligned over the feet and at the ankle should be shoulder width with no rolling or lift up at heel (Baechle,
2000; Bloomfield, 1998; Kinakin, 2004).
Rationale for overhead squat
Knee joint is a stability dominant joint due to its ligament and tendon structure operating as a hinge with limited ... Show more content on

Faulty structure and function of the joints and musculature directly above and below the knee joint relate to inability of the knee to maintain alignment
with the hip and feet during squat (Cook, 2003; Kendall, 2005; Sahrmann, 2002). Underdeveloped, inflexible or activation in the wrong sequence of the
hamstrings, rectus femoris which attach to both hip and knee joints, as well as the gastrocnemius which attaches to the knee and ankle joints creates a
hindrance at the knee (Alter, 1996).

A Study On Strength Training Essay
Introduction In strength training, the squat is a compound, full body exercise that trains primarily the muscles of the thighs, hips and gluteus, quads
(vastus lateralus, medialis and intermedius and rectus femoris), hamstrings, as well as strengthening the bones, ligaments and insertion of the tendons
throughout the lower body. Squats are considered a vital exercise for increasing the strength and size of the legs and buttocks, as well as developing
core. The lower back, the upper back, the abdominals, the trunk muscles and the shoulders and arms are all essential to the exercise. Up until the 1950s,
the squat was not a mainstream lift. Weightlifters used the 'split ' to lift weights, where one leg is placed stretched out behind and the other bent in
front. The upper body was seen as more important for a long time. However, soon the squat became recognised as the great physical conditioner it really
is, working every muscle in the body. The squat is one of the power three in competitive powerlifting along with the bench press and deadlift. Different
squats include, front squat, back squat, goblet squat this report will be concentrating on the back squat. Biomechanical Principals Muscle mechanics
Main muscles involved in the squat include erector spinae, the core musculature, gluteus muscles, quadriceps, hamstrings and calves. The core
musculature engages in an isometric contraction. During the descending movement in a squat the hips, gluteus maximus, hamstring all

We are against this concept. Science has proven that when you bulk amuscle, it loses it 's elastic qualities. As a result, the center of the muscle is
shortened, balled up, and pulled away from connective tissue which connects/holds muscles to the joints. This is called muscle hypertrophy. Science
has shown that it can have an adverse effect on athletic movement. This puts more stress on the ligaments and tendons and causes muscular
imbalances. Compare the way a human body is made to a trampoline. A trampoline has a webbing or net in the middle which we jump on. All of the
focus and attention is usually on the net, similar to how most of the attention is usually put on the size of the athlete 's muscles. But what is actually
firing or creating most of the power? Is it the webbing or the springs? Think about it, the springs that are connected to the skeleton of the trampoline
are actually absorbing most of the shock applied to the trampoline. The springs reverse that energy and catapults a person high into the air. So we have
a net, that is connected to a spring, that is connected to the skeleton of the trampoline.The human body is made the same way. We have muscles that are
attached to ligaments and tendons that are connected to skeletal bone. Our philosophy of power is this: plyometrics has proven to be the best way to

Powerlifting Squat
Before you get under the bar, there are a few necessary steps needed to perform a proper powerlifting squat. Some off these steps aren't full required,
but are highly recommended. The items required for a competition squat are a 100% polyester powerlifting suit, flat bottom tenny shoes, 100% cotton
tighty whities, and long ankle socks. The first step in preparing for a competition squat is putting on the suit. The US high school powerlifting
association requires all lifters of both genders to wear tight and white underwear or go coverless. Most lifters prefer to go coverless for more
comfort. A powerlifting suit should be as tight as possible for maximum support. Now it's time for socks and shoes. Your socks must be 100%
cotton and white or the judges won't let you lift. Your shoes must be flat bottom because any shoe with a long heel can lead to major ankle and knee
injuries. Next is the dreaded warm up. The warm up is a crucial part of powerlifting. Not warming up can lead to major joint discomfort and soreness.

Persuasive Essay On Weightlifting
Weight training is vital to your sports performance, because if you are matched with someone in skill, then it will take speed, power, and strength to
defeat your opponent on the court, field or in the ring.
Some athletes even coaches and trainers get confused with the deference between,bodybuilding or muscle building vs. weight training for strength and
power for specific sports.
For example having huge muscular legs does NOT mean you can jump very high, or run very fast; increased jumping ability comes from being able to
lift with speed.
If the weight continues to increase and the speed stays the same, power and vertical jumping ability will increase only if you maintain your body weight.

Barbell Back Squat Essay
Barbell back squats have always been a staple exercise in every bodybuilder, powerlifter and athlete's workout regimen. Squats not only help build size
to your legs but they also have other added benefits such as improved flexibility and an increase in testosterone and growth hormone production. There
are many different techniques to help improve your squat such as the width of your stance or the direction your toes are pointing. But the one
technique that seems to be getting the most attention is whether squatting barefoot is more beneficial in activating more muscles in the lower limbs
versus squatting wearing an athletic shoe. The following study focuses on the activation of 8 lower limb muscles during a barbell back squat while

Research Paper On The Barbell Squat
The Barbell squat is a compound exercise that is a common exercise that specifically targets muscles in the lower half of the body. Squats are used by
a variety of individuals spreading from bodybuilding to physical rehabilitation, used to help increase muscular recovery of injured lower limbs. The
squat movement begins with a hip–width stance in an upright position with both hips and knees fully extended, followed by a barbell supported on
the trapezius muscles. Following this by descending, flexing the knees ensuring they stay in line with the feet. The torso should remain upright as
much as possible during this action. Continue the descend all the way down with the weight on the front of the heel, as the upper leg makes contact
with the lower leg, reverse the motion and begin to drive the weight upwards. According to a study in the (American Journal of Sports Medicine,

The hamstrings contract eccentrically acting as the synergist and help the flexion of the hip to occur. The Rectus femoris of the quadriceps contract
eccentrically to help flex the hip, they are co–contracting with the hamstrings. The hip flexors may contract rapidly to stabalise the body on the way
down if there is a loss of balance (Wynsberghe et al., 1995). The adductor longus, adductor brevis and adductor Magnus contract isometrically to prevent
adduction and abduction. The Sartorius muscle contracts eccentrically to cause flexion and abduction at the knee. The sartoris originates from the
anterior superior iliac spine and inserts onto the tibia. The adductor and abductor muscles at the hip joint contract to prevent movement that may cause
injury (Tortora and Derrickson, 2009).
Knee
On the downward phase flexion occurs at the knee, stopping at about 90 В°. Both quadriceps, acting as the agonist to flex the knee, and hamstrings,
which mainly stabilizes the knee, act as an antagonistic pair and co–contract eccentrically to allow flexion. The hamstring is also acting as the synergist
for the hip joint (Tortora and Derrickson, 2009). The Sartorius acts as the synergist and also contracts eccentrically to cause flexion at the knee
(Wynsberghe et al., 1995).

Possible explanations for differences between our findings and other published data could be attributed to age, exercise protocol and intensity of
exercise. Serum creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) are an indication of the degree of metabolic adaptation to physical training
of skeletal muscles. These enzymes are involved in muscle metabolism, and their serum concentration is normally very low. They increase
considerably after intensive exercise. Changes in serum activity of muscle enzymes have been reported in normal subjects and athletes after
strenuous exercise. The amount of enzyme efflux from muscle tissue to serum can be influenced by physical exercise. These results showed that the
use of BCAA didn 't reduce serum CK activity 24 and 48 hrs after heavy resistance exercise. Serum CK activity was elevated in all groups after
exercise and was highest in the placebo group. It was obvious in BCAA group that the Ck and LDH levels were non–significantly lower than the

a squat rack, but some may have attached racks, called Smith Machines. Several exercise science majors (and that Body Builder article) in my friend
group don't recommend these racks, partly because they don't allow for users to find their center/balance and they place a lot of pressure on the knees.
Regardless, there are various ways to do squat exercises, but I prefer detached barbell racks. In that case, according to a Workout Labs article, you'll
want to set the barbell on the rack as the same height as your upper chest. Then position your body under the bar while bending your knees slightly. At
this point, the barbell should be resting on your shoulders, but avoid placing it on the bone because you get a nice little bruise from the

Why Do Muscles Burn Fat
Muscles burn fat. The more muscle, the more fat they burn. Stimulating the growth of muscle mass, squats help burn more fat. The more muscle you
build up at its skeleton, the more calories you will burn during exercise and recovery. So if you want to lose weight – no need to neglect the sit–ups.
3. Squats is incredibly functional
Today next to the old–good sit–ups often used a trendy definition of "functionality". If earlier exercises were considered squats for well–trained
athletes and professional bodybuilders, today people are no longer afraid to perform prisedy, estimating all advantages of this exercise. There are plenty
of ways to prevent injuries at run time, and the merits of the squat exercises cannot be overestimated.

What Is The Measure Of Scuatting In Women's Booty
In early childhood, when one bent down to pick up a toy and stood back up they were unknowingly squatting. As time went on people began to see that
this everyday action also strengthened their calves and gluteus Maximus. Although squatting was already used by body builders as a way to exercise, it
hit its ultimate height when women begin changing the plain skinny Jane into a curvaceous beauty with the exercise. In vogue magazine it states, "In

Describe The Process Of Doing Squats
The process of doing squats involves a process of using muscles in bottom half of the torso. There are primary muscles in doing squats which are the
gluteus maximus, quadriceps, and hamstrings. The gluteus maximus is the largest muscle in the body and covers each buttock. The origin of this
muscle is the sacrum, coccyx, and ilium. The insertion is the posterior surface of femur and fascia of the thigh which helps to extend the thigh at the hip.
The gluteus maximus helps to straighten the limb at the hip when a person walks, runs, climbs, or squats. In the quadriceps femoris group there are
four muscles called the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius. The rectus femoris muscle occupies the middle of the
thigh ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The next quadriceps muscle is vastus lateralis which is the largest part of the quadriceps on the lateral side of the femur and the origin is the greater
trochanter and posterior surface of the femur. Another, muscle is the vastus medialis which is on the medial side of the femur. Lastly, the vastus
intermedius is on the anterior and lateral surfaces of femur. The insertion of these muscles is the patella. All these muscles helps extends leg at theknee.
The last primary muscles are the hamstring group which contain the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and sartorius. The biceps
femoris has two heads, one attached to the ischium and the other attached to the femur. This muscle's origin is the ischial tuberosity and linea aspera of
femur, while the insertion is the head of fibula and lateral condyle of tibia. This muscle flexes and rotates the leg laterally and extends the thigh. The
semitendinosus is another muscle in the hamstring, it's a long, bandlike muscle on the back and medial side of the thigh, connecting ischium to the
tibia. It flexes and rotates the leg medially and extends the thigh. The semimembranosus is the third hamstring muscle and is medially located in the

Lower Body Adaptations For Power Lifting ( Squats )
Lower Body Adaptations to Power Lifting (Squats) Power is arguably the most important attribute for an athlete. Specifically, it is most important for
an athlete participating in a high intensity, anaerobic sport. "Anaerobic power is defined as the rate of energy release by cellular metabolic processes
that function without the involvement of oxygen."(Kenney 212) Having the ability to generate more power means you will be able to like run faster,
change direction quicker, and jump higher. Training for power will have a much bigger impact on the athletes' ability than just training for strength.
Power training will more than likely involve more complicated movements that must be done at a fast pace to reach maximum results. "Power is
defined as the rate of performing work, thus the product of force and velocity."(Kenney 211) Strength on the other hand, is just the maximum force the
muscles are able to produce. For example, if you have two athletes that squat the same weight, they both have the same amount of strength, however if
one of the athletes is able to perform that lift faster than the other, that athlete has more power. With that being said, it is still important to also train for
strength because gains in power are only possible if you are making gains in strength through resistance training as well. It is important to focus your
training on the muscle groups and movements that are most alike the type of sport you are playing. In most cases, the core and lower body

The members have a competition on the 22nd so they are preparing for endurance/cardio run and drills. During this class only seven or six
members showed up and two members I did not see the last session. Teri took these members through a squat press with kettlebells, a bent over
row, inch worms, hops, a jog, and supermans. The members did about four rounds of this circuit for the first 30 minutes. The next 30 minutes the
members went through abductions and adduction exercises, planks, hops, and body weight squats. One of the members Teri noticed that her
knees were caving in while doing squats. Teri took a resistance band and put the band above the member's knees and had the girl hold onto a wide
beam over the grotto since we were working out outside. She had the member go through squats and fixed her knees caving in and her back
rounding. The girl also has hypermobility in the knees that had her locking them so Teri addressed how to fix this and also how her back needs to
be straight and butt shooting out. Teri has an app on her phone called hudle and this app records movement. This app also lets you draw a line along
the movement of the person so they can assess if they are moving out of the line while doing a proper squat or exercise. She recorded her and pointed

Trenchless Replacement Research Paper
Your Options For Repairing A Sewer System With A Collapsed Line If your toilet won't flush or if there is sewage backing up in your yard, there is a
problem with your sewer line. The first step is to see if it is clogged. There could be grease, hair, and paper clogging the line or it could be full of tree
roots. A more serious problem is a collapsed sewer line. If the pipe has collapsed, the only way to repair your system is to replace the line. A
contractor will dig up the old line and replace it or perform a trenchless replacement. Here are the differences between these two methods. Digging A
Trench Digging up the old sewer pipe and replacing it with a new one requires the contractor to rip out part of your yard. While this is a very... Show

The first method is by pipe bursting. The contractor digs a hole at each end of your sewer line. Then a new pipe is threaded in one hole and pulled
through the other end using a wench and hook. The new pipe busts up the old pipe as it is pulled through. The second trenchless method is pipe
relining. With this method, the contractor leaves the old pipe in place. A liner is forced through the pipe and then inflated. Once the liner is
inflated, it hardens in place and creates a new pipe inside the old one. This method will only work if the original pipe is in fairly good shape. If a
large part of it has collapsed, it won't be physically possible to push the liner through. Deciding Which Method To Use Your contractor has to assess
the condition of your sewer pipe to determine which is the best method to use to repair your sewer system. If large sections of the pipe are crumbled
and collapsed, or if the pipe makes sharp turns underground, then trenchless repair methods may not be possible. The contractor will probably do a

Squat Exercise
Knees buckling into the valgus position When performing the back squat, some clients tend to let their knees collapse and position into a valgus or
"knock–knee" position as seen in Figures 8, 9 and 10. The positioning of the knees is dramatically different in these figures as compared to Figure
18. This may occur during the squat for three reasons: the client's quadriceps femoris musculature may be too weak, a weakness in posterior chain
muscles of the hip extensors and hamstrings or the client lacks the dorsiflexion in their ankle to perform the squat with the proper depth necessary to
achieve maximal benefit. If there is a weakness in the musculature or a lack of range of motion in the ankle joint, the client's knees may tend to... Show

Also, during the squat, the patella has its greatest compression force on the femur at 90Лљ. As a result, if the patella is shifted laterally and there is a
higher compressive force on a smaller surface area, there will be an increase in patellofemoral irritation and shear. In addition to the patellofemoral
pain, increasing the valgus stress in load bearing predisposes the MCL to increased stress and injury. The MCL accounts for 80% of the valgus
restraint on the knee.34 With the addition of weight due to the squat, this then places extra stress on the MCL and over time, could cause ligament
laxity or for the ligament to tear if the stress is too great. This tends to happen during the ascent phase, where there is a valgus collapse, increased the
stress placed on the MCL. The valgus moment also places increased stress on the ACL during both the initial ascent and during the full return.1 One

Power training involves applying a force at the greatest speed possible (Power = force x velocity). Jumping is a powerful movement and it must be
trained using exercises which require a high power output. In a previous article, I had described the importance of strength in vertical jump training
development. A well–developed strength program supplies the necessary force application in the power equation. Now it is time to discuss how to
apply velocity to the power equation.
Performing movements at a high velocity is the goal when designing power based exercises along with a second goal of focusing on maximum effort
with each repetition. There are two major types of power exercises, those which involve more than body weight resistance and those utilizing only
body weight. This article will discuss the application of performing power exercises which incorporate an added resistance through weight training.

Biomechanics: Kinematics of Jumping, Literature Review
Literature review Jumping is a movement which is fundamental to a vast majority of sports (Grimshaw et.al 2006). The goal of a jump may be to
try and achieve the longest or highest jump possible, as in long jump and high jump; or they may be performed to intercept the opposition for
example a header in football or defensive block in basketball (Matavulj et.al, 2001) (Juarez et.al, 2011). An example of a jump is a counter–movement
jump as defined by (Marshall & Moran 2013) as being a form of vertical jump which involves a preparatory movement downwards before a forceful
extension of the hip, knee and ankle moves the body upwards into the concentric phase. A jump which can be related to both vertical jump at toe–off
(concentric) and counter–movement jump at the landing phase (eccentric) is a drop jump.
Drop jump It is explained by (Hilfiker et.al, 2007) that the drop jump is used in training and in the pre–match warm–ups for sports such as, football,
basketball and volleyball where counter–movement in a jump is a regular occurrence. (Bobbert 1986) states how the hip, knee and ankle joints all
experience a period of flexion during the counter–movement phase of a drop jump. During this phase the main contractions of muscles are the
eccentric contraction of the hip, knee and ankle extensors. (Young & Behm 2003) explain that before partaking in a drop jump, stretches for the

This review will discuss a major variant, "Squat Depth", in regards to the safety factors within the exercise as many professionals have produced
different studies that have shown a variety of different results.
PRO
There is a continued discussions and reviews among professionals within the strength and conditioning world regarding the most appropriate foot
placement and the depth that should be reached when squatting, thoose debates involve stress on the knees and the recruitment of muscles and muscle
activation. Previously many professionals have stated that the squat is one of the most popular and important functional exercises when it comes to
developing strength and power, the squat is commonly incorporated into many strength and conditioning programs as well as major rehabilitation
programs(Abelbeck et al 2002).
The concerns that are raised about the safety of squatting and increased knee flexion angles can be traced back to studies performed by Klein in 1961
(Klein K 1961). Klein used a personally developed device to help analyse the knees of weightlifters who compete regularly and perform frequent deep
squats. Klein 's study showed that these competitors showed an increase in joint pain within the collateral and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), thus
potentially compromising the stability of their knee joints. Klein concluded that any weighted squats should be limited on the angle of flextion within
the knee joint, thus limiting the depth to a half–knee

  • 1. Shoulder Exercise-Bear Crawls On your list of new home gym essentials, it is good to keep a set of slam balls. They are versatile, durable and have some significant benefits for serious exercise routine followers. Interestingly, just because they are called 'slam balls', it does not mean that all you can do is slam them against the floor or wall – there are plenty of good exercises with long term benefits for the users of these special gym balls. We list below some of these workouts. Also make note that slam balls for sale are available in 10lb to 150lb weight range so you can choose the right size and weight as per your own body characteristics. A shoulder exercise – Bear Crawl – For this you need to make sure that there is enough space to crawl up a decent length.

Holding the slam ball with both hands twist your upper body sideways – left and right.

Exercise for core, upper body, and lower body – Squat Throw – For this exercise you need to have adequate space to throw a decent distance.

Get to 405 lbs squats at the end of spring semester 2016 Be better at effectively communicating with fellow students,peers, and professors to reach academic success Develop and implement time management skills Develop skills and strategies for collaborative work Get to 405 pounds squats at the end of spring semester 2016 My main goal for this spring semester, is to get my squats to at least 405 pounds. I am on a workout program, known as "Mad Cow" which focuses on the three main exercise workouts. which are squat, bench, and deadlift. For the sake of focus, I narrowed down my goal to my squat as my main goal. The program implements a three day per week workout routine, that varies in intensity. For example, Monday will be considered "heavy" which is the top set (max amount of weight you can lift, that given week). Wednesday will be a "light" day, a recovery day essentially that allows the participant to recover, working out other muscles group that weren 't trained on Monday. Followed by Friday which will be a "medium" day, meaning it's a combination of both the heavy and light. Where I will be working out to the next top set for the next upcoming week. I generally move up by a five pounds increments, on a weekly basis. And adjust my progress and workout from there, deciding whether I should move up or stay at the same weight until I see best fit that I am able to lift that amount of weight for at least five reps.

  • 3. The Squat Oinochoe The Squat Oinochoe was found in Corinth, Greece. It is believed that it was made around 590–570 BCE which places this piece of pottery in the Archaic Period of Greece. When it was discovered in Corinth, it was obvious it was influenced greatly due to the cultural interactions between the Aegean and the eastern Mediterranean regions during the eighth and seventh centuries BCE. The vase has feral goats, panthers, creatures, and oriental styled floral motifs on the body and shoulder of the vase. This style of vase is known as Oinochoe in Greek it is split up into two words "oinos" meaning wine, and "cheo" meaning I pour2. These types of vessels are usually single–handled, and usually taller than its width.2 They were used to pour and hold ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This vessel is going against the usual Oinochoe from the time, because it has a short shoulder and body, while being wide at the same time with a broad almost none existent foot. The paintings on the base and shoulder are broken up into registers which can trace back to Mesopotamian culture and Egyptian society as well. Both registers on the shoulder and body depict two dimensional figures along side with oriental flowers. In both registers, there is an animal depicted, which is a panther. The panther is one of the forms that Dionysus the god of wine, agriculture, and fertility of nature takes on.3 The panther on this Oinochoe leads us to believe it represents Dionysus because he is the god of wine, and this particular vessel was used for wine. Another figure on the vase is a winged figure, however that part of the vase has faded to the point where it cannot be analyzed or examined. What can be seen however are lions, which at the time in ancient Greece showed wealth and power and can often be found in many Greek myths. Lions during this time are depicted roaring with their mouths open and their body flexing and tall, poised to show power and authority. The registers may have the same animals and creatures on them; however the register on the body of the vase has more of the animals. The final animal that is depicted is a feral goat, the only way it can described and identified as feral, is because it is grazing where the lions and bird like ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Personal Trainers Research Paper Personal trainers are trainers for a reason. They know how to transform the body with good nutrition and exercise. The average person does not have the knowledge needed to correlate their fitness program with diet. As a result, mistakes are often made and those mistakes hinder progress. Diet and exercise go hand in hand and there must be a balance. That balance is where our weekly nutrition tip comes in. Check it out. Nutrition Tip This time let's talk fat. Yes, fat. When someone wants to lose weight or achieve a more defined physical physique they immediately think, "I have to eliminate the fat from my diet". Of course dietary fat should be consumed in moderation but it is needed. The only dietary fat in any meal plan must be healthy fats. This means monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats and omega–3 fatty acids. For most, 20% of their diet should be fat and the remaining 80% will be protein and complex carbs. When good fats are consumed not only do they deliver endless benefits to the body like lowering bad cholesterol levels and strengthening the immune system but they actually assist in fat burn. Healthy fats do this by decreasing cortisol levels (a cause of belly fat) and conditions the body to burn fat more efficiently. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

  • 5. Squat Patterns A competent squat pattern requires degrees of stability and mobility from the joints of the lower body (foot, ankle, knee, and hip) and the upper body (thoracic and lumbar spine). Strength and Conditioning professionals have knowledge regarding each joints anatomical function and its contribution to optimal movement. The factors that affect an athlete's ability to perform the test with symmetry and co–ordination is multi–factorial (lack of co–ordination, balance issues, restricted ROM, anthropometrics and previous injury)(Adrian, 1995; Cook, 2003). Ideal kinematics for an overhead squat in both descending and ascending movements according to literature suggests that the thoracic spine be slightly extended with the lumbar spine in neutral with the cervical spine held in neutral. While at the lower body the hips should be flexed and aligned with the shoulders, the knee should be flexed and aligned over the feet and at the ankle should be shoulder width with no rolling or lift up at heel (Baechle, 2000; Bloomfield, 1998; Kinakin, 2004). Rationale for overhead squat Knee joint is a stability dominant joint due to its ligament and tendon structure operating as a hinge with limited ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Faulty structure and function of the joints and musculature directly above and below the knee joint relate to inability of the knee to maintain alignment with the hip and feet during squat (Cook, 2003; Kendall, 2005; Sahrmann, 2002). Underdeveloped, inflexible or activation in the wrong sequence of the hamstrings, rectus femoris which attach to both hip and knee joints, as well as the gastrocnemius which attaches to the knee and ankle joints creates a hindrance at the knee (Alter, 1996). Practical Advice to Coaches According to the literature adherence to the optimal movement patterns required during the squat helps in diagnosing any issues in ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 8. A Study On Strength Training Essay Introduction In strength training, the squat is a compound, full body exercise that trains primarily the muscles of the thighs, hips and gluteus, quads (vastus lateralus, medialis and intermedius and rectus femoris), hamstrings, as well as strengthening the bones, ligaments and insertion of the tendons throughout the lower body. Squats are considered a vital exercise for increasing the strength and size of the legs and buttocks, as well as developing core. The lower back, the upper back, the abdominals, the trunk muscles and the shoulders and arms are all essential to the exercise. Up until the 1950s, the squat was not a mainstream lift. Weightlifters used the 'split ' to lift weights, where one leg is placed stretched out behind and the other bent in front. The upper body was seen as more important for a long time. However, soon the squat became recognised as the great physical conditioner it really is, working every muscle in the body. The squat is one of the power three in competitive powerlifting along with the bench press and deadlift. Different squats include, front squat, back squat, goblet squat this report will be concentrating on the back squat. Biomechanical Principals Muscle mechanics Main muscles involved in the squat include erector spinae, the core musculature, gluteus muscles, quadriceps, hamstrings and calves. The core musculature engages in an isometric contraction. During the descending movement in a squat the hips, gluteus maximus, hamstring all ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Within a couple of months, we dropped 100–meter times 8/10 of a second and increased bat speeds four to seven miles. We increased vertical jumps up to seven inches in multiple athletes. In a few month's time, we also increased throwing velocity five miles. We accomplished these incredible feats by using our modern, functional training system. We are currently working with NFL athletes and we want to spread the word to others in the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... We are against this concept. Science has proven that when you bulk amuscle, it loses it 's elastic qualities. As a result, the center of the muscle is shortened, balled up, and pulled away from connective tissue which connects/holds muscles to the joints. This is called muscle hypertrophy. Science has shown that it can have an adverse effect on athletic movement. This puts more stress on the ligaments and tendons and causes muscular imbalances. Compare the way a human body is made to a trampoline. A trampoline has a webbing or net in the middle which we jump on. All of the focus and attention is usually on the net, similar to how most of the attention is usually put on the size of the athlete 's muscles. But what is actually firing or creating most of the power? Is it the webbing or the springs? Think about it, the springs that are connected to the skeleton of the trampoline are actually absorbing most of the shock applied to the trampoline. The springs reverse that energy and catapults a person high into the air. So we have a net, that is connected to a spring, that is connected to the skeleton of the trampoline.The human body is made the same way. We have muscles that are attached to ligaments and tendons that are connected to skeletal bone.

  • 10. Powerlifting Squat Before you get under the bar, there are a few necessary steps needed to perform a proper powerlifting squat. Some off these steps aren't full required, but are highly recommended. The items required for a competition squat are a 100% polyester powerlifting suit, flat bottom tenny shoes, 100% cotton tighty whities, and long ankle socks. The first step in preparing for a competition squat is putting on the suit. The US high school powerlifting association requires all lifters of both genders to wear tight and white underwear or go coverless. Most lifters prefer to go coverless for more comfort. A powerlifting suit should be as tight as possible for maximum support. Now it's time for socks and shoes. Your socks must be 100% cotton and white or the judges won't let you lift. Your shoes must be flat bottom because any shoe with a long heel can lead to major ankle and knee injuries. Next is the dreaded warm up. The warm up is a crucial part of powerlifting. Not warming up can lead to major joint discomfort and soreness. When warming up, make sure to treat it as an actual lift. Try to imagine the judges giving you your commands and try to perform as best as possible with light weights. The commands ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Some guys have a lean waistline, and others have big arms or chest, but only a serious lifter has big, cut legs. This Leg Workout forMass can help you truly stand out in a crowd. For a great leg workout, I have found that you need to warm up with some light cardio first. Walk, Run, or ride a bike for about 10 minutes to get the blood pumping and to loosen up.

Take a comfortable grip and get under the bar. Squeeze your shoulder blades together to create a shelf on top of your traps, and rest the bar there. Stand up with the weight and set your feet about 2 feet apart. Find a stance that is comfortable, but it should be somewhere around 2 feet apart. Point your feet out at a 45 degree angle and take a deep breath. Hold that breath while you reach backward with your buttocks as if you were looking for a chair to sit in. Bend your knees and descend until your hips are below the tops of your knees. Power back up to a fully upright position. Maintain an arched back with your chest up throughout the movement. Continue that process for 9 more reps and rack the bar.For your first working set of this bodybuilding workout, load a weight that you can squat for 12 reps, but only squat for sets of 8. Do 6 sets, stretching and resting for 2 minutes between each one. If you are using enough weight, this will be very difficult, just like it should be.

  • 13. Persuasive Essay On Weightlifting Weight training is vital to your sports performance, because if you are matched with someone in skill, then it will take speed, power, and strength to defeat your opponent on the court, field or in the ring. Some athletes even coaches and trainers get confused with the deference between,bodybuilding or muscle building vs. weight training for strength and power for specific sports. For example having huge muscular legs does NOT mean you can jump very high, or run very fast; increased jumping ability comes from being able to lift with speed. If the weight continues to increase and the speed stays the same, power and vertical jumping ability will increase only if you maintain your body weight.

But the one technique that seems to be getting the most attention is whether squatting barefoot is more beneficial in activating more muscles in the lower limbs versus squatting wearing an athletic shoe. The following study focuses on the activation of 8 lower limb muscles during a barbell back squat while barefoot and in an athletic shoe. Researchers of this study hypothesize that the barefoot condition will produce more muscle activation in comparison to the athletic shoe condition. Participants in this study were healthy men and women ages 18–24. There were several criterions the participants had to meet before partaking in the study. Each individual had to successfully barbell back squat their own body weight for 1 repetition. Also participants were constantly observed by strength and conditioning coaches to ensure proper technique was applied to the barbell back squat. Lastly participants must have previously ...

  • 15. Research Paper On The Barbell Squat The Barbell squat is a compound exercise that is a common exercise that specifically targets muscles in the lower half of the body. Squats are used by a variety of individuals spreading from bodybuilding to physical rehabilitation, used to help increase muscular recovery of injured lower limbs. The squat movement begins with a hip–width stance in an upright position with both hips and knees fully extended, followed by a barbell supported on the trapezius muscles. Following this by descending, flexing the knees ensuring they stay in line with the feet. The torso should remain upright as much as possible during this action. Continue the descend all the way down with the weight on the front of the heel, as the upper leg makes contact with the lower leg, reverse the motion and begin to drive the weight upwards. According to a study in the (American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2002), there was a very slight increase in the risk of knee injuries due to bad technique when performing the squat exercise. ...

The Rectus femoris of the quadriceps contract eccentrically to help flex the hip, they are co–contracting with the hamstrings. The hip flexors may contract rapidly to stabalise the body on the way down if there is a loss of balance (Wynsberghe et al., 1995). The adductor longus, adductor brevis and adductor Magnus contract isometrically to prevent adduction and abduction. The Sartorius muscle contracts eccentrically to cause flexion and abduction at the knee. The sartoris originates from the anterior superior iliac spine and inserts onto the tibia. The adductor and abductor muscles at the hip joint contract to prevent movement that may cause injury (Tortora and Derrickson, 2009). Knee On the downward phase flexion occurs at the knee, stopping at about 90 В°. Both quadriceps, acting as the agonist to flex the knee, and hamstrings, which mainly stabilizes the knee, act as an antagonistic pair and co–contract eccentrically to allow flexion. The hamstring is also acting as the synergist for the hip joint (Tortora and Derrickson, 2009). The Sartorius acts as the synergist and also contracts eccentrically to cause flexion at the knee (Wynsberghe et al., 1995). Ankle On the downward phase dorsiflexion occurs at the ankle, the tibialis anterior acts as the synergist in this movement and contracts concentrically (Seeley et al., 2003). The extensor halluces

Possible explanations for differences between our findings and other published data could be attributed to age, exercise protocol and intensity of exercise. Serum creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) are an indication of the degree of metabolic adaptation to physical training of skeletal muscles. These enzymes are involved in muscle metabolism, and their serum concentration is normally very low. They increase considerably after intensive exercise. Changes in serum activity of muscle enzymes have been reported in normal subjects and athletes after strenuous exercise. The amount of enzyme efflux from muscle tissue to serum can be influenced by physical exercise. These results showed that the use of BCAA didn 't reduce serum CK activity 24 and 48 hrs after heavy resistance exercise. Serum CK activity was elevated in all groups after exercise and was highest in the placebo group. It was obvious in BCAA group that the Ck and LDH levels were non–significantly lower than the control one indicating that the muscle soreness is lower (higher muscle fitness).

Not only does this exercise target the gluteus muscles, but it also tones the legs, strengthens the core, increases flexibility and with added weight, engages the upper body. In general, it's a good idea to look over proper form before beginning this exercise. To start, a squat rack and barbell is needed. Most gyms will have a squat rack, but some may have attached racks, called Smith Machines. Several exercise science majors (and that Body Builder article) in my friend group don't recommend these racks, partly because they don't allow for users to find their center/balance and they place a lot of pressure on the knees. Regardless, there are various ways to do squat exercises, but I prefer detached barbell racks.

There are primary muscles in doing squats which are the gluteus maximus, quadriceps, and hamstrings. The gluteus maximus is the largest muscle in the body and covers each buttock. The origin of this muscle is the sacrum, coccyx, and ilium. The insertion is the posterior surface of femur and fascia of the thigh which helps to extend the thigh at the hip. The gluteus maximus helps to straighten the limb at the hip when a person walks, runs, climbs, or squats.

The insertion of these muscles is the patella. All these muscles helps extends leg at theknee. The last primary muscles are the hamstring group which contain the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and sartorius. The biceps femoris has two heads, one attached to the ischium and the other attached to the femur. This muscle's origin is the ischial tuberosity and linea aspera of femur, while the insertion is the head of fibula and lateral condyle of tibia.

  • 28. Lower Body Adaptations For Power Lifting ( Squats ) Lower Body Adaptations to Power Lifting (Squats) Power is arguably the most important attribute for an athlete. Specifically, it is most important for an athlete participating in a high intensity, anaerobic sport. "Anaerobic power is defined as the rate of energy release by cellular metabolic processes that function without the involvement of oxygen."(Kenney 212) Having the ability to generate more power means you will be able to like run faster, change direction quicker, and jump higher. Training for power will have a much bigger impact on the athletes' ability than just training for strength. Power training will more than likely involve more complicated movements that must be done at a fast pace to reach maximum results. "Power is defined as the rate of performing work, thus the product of force and velocity."(Kenney 211) Strength on the other hand, is just the maximum force the muscles are able to produce. For example, if you have two athletes that squat the same weight, they both have the same amount of strength, however if one of the athletes is able to perform that lift faster than the other, that athlete has more power. With that being said, it is still important to also train for strength because gains in power are only possible if you are making gains in strength through resistance training as well. It is important to focus your training on the muscle groups and movements that are most alike the type of sport you are playing. In most cases, the core and lower body ...

Trenchless Replacement Research Paper Your Options For Repairing A Sewer System With A Collapsed Line If your toilet won't flush or if there is sewage backing up in your yard, there is a problem with your sewer line. The first step is to see if it is clogged. There could be grease, hair, and paper clogging the line or it could be full of tree roots. A more serious problem is a collapsed sewer line. If the pipe has collapsed, the only way to repair your system is to replace the line. A contractor will dig up the old line and replace it or perform a trenchless replacement.

Then a new pipe is threaded in one hole and pulled through the other end using a wench and hook. The new pipe busts up the old pipe as it is pulled through. The second trenchless method is pipe relining. With this method, the contractor leaves the old pipe in place. A liner is forced through the pipe and then inflated. Once the liner is inflated, it hardens in place and creates a new pipe inside the old one. This method will only work if the original pipe is in fairly good shape. If a large part of it has collapsed, it won't be physically possible to push the liner through. Deciding Which Method To Use Your contractor has to assess the condition of your sewer pipe to determine which is the best method to use to repair your sewer system. If large sections of the pipe are crumbled and collapsed, or if the pipe makes sharp turns underground, then trenchless repair methods may not be possible.

Also, during the squat, the patella has its greatest compression force on the femur at 90Лљ. As a result, if the patella is shifted laterally and there is a higher compressive force on a smaller surface area, there will be an increase in patellofemoral irritation and shear. In addition to the patellofemoral pain, increasing the valgus stress in load bearing predisposes the MCL to increased stress and injury. The MCL accounts for 80% of the valgus restraint on the knee.34 With the addition of weight due to the squat, this then places extra stress on the MCL and over time, could cause ligament laxity or for the ligament to tear if the stress is too great. This tends to happen during the ascent phase, where there is a valgus collapse, increased the stress placed on the MCL.

The goal of a jump may be to try and achieve the longest or highest jump possible, as in long jump and high jump; or they may be performed to intercept the opposition for example a header in football or defensive block in basketball (Matavulj et.al, 2001) (Juarez et.al, 2011). An example of a jump is a counter–movement jump as defined by (Marshall & Moran 2013) as being a form of vertical jump which involves a preparatory movement downwards before a forceful extension of the hip, knee and ankle moves the body upwards into the concentric phase. A jump which can be related to both vertical jump at toe–off (concentric) and counter–movement jump at the landing phase (eccentric) is a drop jump. Drop jump It is explained by (Hilfiker et.al, 2007) that the drop jump is used in training and in the pre–match warm–ups for sports such as, football, basketball and volleyball where counter–movement in a jump is a regular occurrence. (Bobbert 1986) states how the hip, knee and ankle joints all experience a period of flexion during the counter–movement phase of a drop jump. During this phase the main contractions of muscles are the eccentric contraction of the hip, knee and ankle extensors.
