Enhver, der starter v?gttr?ning i gymnastiksalen meget snart ender med at opdage, at bicep-udvikling i forste omgang normalt er lidt lettere og sjovere end at udvikle andre kropsmuskler.

 Det er almindeligt at opdage, at de fleste begyndere l?gger sma m?ngder af v?gte pa handv?gte og sojler og t?nker, at de med tiden far de biceps, de onsker, baseret pa evige gentagelser.

 Men hvad sker der, nar vi er f?rdige med den vante fase og resultaterne holder op med at blive set, og vi gar ind i en plateau fase

 Na, hvis du ikke kender det grundl?ggende i tr?ning, eller hvis du allerede har glemt dem, i dag bringer jeg dig denne artikel, hvor du vil finde visse GRUNDL?GGENDE GRUNDLAG TIL MUSKELUDVIKLING, fokuseret pa at dyrke vores biceps.

10 TIPS TIL UDVIKLING AF DINE BICEPS

Jeg haber, at du med denne serie tr?ningstips og rad kan udvikle digre arme uden at spilde tid og med lige nok indsats.

Hvis du anvender dem i dine rutiner, vil du se, at med passering af tr?ning, med tilstr?kkelig hvile og med den rigtige di?t, vil du snart begynde at bem?rke vigtige ?ndringer i dine arme.

INDSTIL UDDANNELSESMAL

S?t tr?ningsmal og periodiser din tr?ning for at fa styrke, opbygge muskelmasse og fa udholdenhed; Gor den nodvendige indsats for at programmere disse cyklusser, og du vil se, at du kan opfylde dine mal.

 Husk, at armene bestar af forskellige muskelfibre, og hver type kr?ver en bestemt stimulus. Glem aldrig at ved at ?ndre forskellige ovelser i henhold til dine mal, stimulerer du en storre m?ngde fibre.

BRUG IKKE KUN DIN INSTINKT ANVEND DIN Viden

For at gore yderligere fremskridt skal du lytte til din krop og forsta, hvad det betyder for dig. Hvis du foler, at dine arme ikke er kommet helt tilbage fra den foregaende session, skal du fokusere pa en anden muskelgruppe.

 Forsog ikke at tilsides?tte advarslen ved at ignorere, hvad din krop forsoger at fort?lle dig: Du vil kun blive frustreret over den manglende resultater og endda komme ind i det farlige omrade med overtr?ning, eller v?rre, du kan blive saret.

 Husk, at tr?ningsplanl?gning skal fungere som en guide, men ikke bor erstatte intuition eller viden om din krop og grundlaget for muskeludvikling.

UNDGA MUSKELTILPASNING

Som enhver anden muskelgruppe kan armene let "v?nne sig til" eller tilpasse sig en bestemt rutine.

 Sa du er nodt til at ?ndre sekvensen af ??ovelser eller ove nye fra tid til anden.

 Kontroller antallet af S?TTER OG REPETITIONER du normalt gor, og hvor lang tid du bruger til at hvile ved at ?ndre disse variabler kan du opna optimal tr?ning af dine biceps.

KONTROLLER antallet af gentagelser

For at arbejde med volumen pa biceps er det bedste interval 8 til 12 gentagelser, mellem 4 til 6 serier, og nar punktet for muskelsvigt i de sidste gentagelser i den sidste serie.

 Du skal give alt for at afslutte serien, indtil vi nar den syvende, ottende eller niende gentagelse af den sidste serie med en v?gt, der ikke lader dig ga videre.

 De opnaede resultater er uden tvivl en funktion af indsats: sa hvis du ikke gar til gr?nserne for dine muligheder, vil du ikke na dine mal.

BETAL ATTENTION TIL REPETITION HASTIGHEDEN

Mange avancerede bodybuildere kan krolle sig med imponerende belastninger, men deres arme er ikke noget s?rligt. For at have enorme arme skal vi optimere ydeevnen for hver gentagelse.

 Og noget der virkelig gor en forskel i muskelv?ksten i armene er styringen af ??den hastighed, hvorpa du gor Biceps Curl og andre lignende ovelser.

 Dette betyder ikke, at de altid skal v?re langsomme eller hurtige, det betyder blot, at du skal opretholde en j?vn og j?vn hastighed i stedet for at ryste eller svinge.

 Det, der t?ller, er ikke kun antallet af gentagelser, men ogsa kvaliteten af ??den teknik, som du udforer alle dine gentagelser med.

PROV ?NDRING AF VINKLER

Som jeg sagde for, kan du ikke forvente stor muskeludvikling fra dine biceps, hvis du ikke beder om dem til fulde. Til dette er det godt at tr?ne dem i flere vinkler og variere adskillelsen af ??h?nderne.

 I denne artikel kan du se mere om typer rygsojler, tilbojelige og neutrale greb: TYPE GRIP I V?GTTR?NING

GRIPPET I UDDANNELSE AF ARMENE

Ud over typen af ??greb pavirker grebsbredden ogsa; Nar du v?lger et bredere greb pa stangen, fokuserer du dybest set pa det korte hoved pa bicepsen.

 Pa den anden side har et smallere greb en tendens til at anmode om den lange del.

 Det bedste er at skifte greb mellem s?t for at fa bedre resultater. Du kan se mere om grebbredderne i dette link: HVORDAN INFLUERER GRIP-BREEDBREDTEN, NAR UDDANNELSE MED V?GTER?

UNDGA STRETCHING ELBOWS helt

Biceps genererer deres maksimale styrke mellem 80-100 grader af albue flexion.

 Dette betyder, at hvis du lofter meget tunge belastninger, skal du starte bev?gelsen med albuerne let bojede i stedet for at lade dem falde helt lige.

Hold albuer, der er limet til kroppen

For at fokusere oget sp?nding pa biceps er det vigtigt ikke at gore det "Hj?lp" liften med enhver anden muskel.

 For at gore dette skal du bare sorge for, at dine albuer ikke stiger eller "slingrende"og til geng?ld at dine skuldre forbliver helt statiske.

LAS TILBAGE SKULDERNE

Hold skuldrene tilbage, sa skulderbladene er t?ttere pa hinanden, hvilket sikrer, at du ikke l?gger unodvendig belastning pa skulderleddet.

 Jeg haber, at disse tip har v?ret nyttige for dig, fort?l os om dine oplevelser, og hvis du tror, ??at der er noget andet at tilfoje til artiklen, vil du v?re velkommen.

8 nogler til Locarno Festival-programmet

Vores korrespondent Carlota Moseguí analyserer styrkene ved det schweiziske konkurrenceprogram: store forfattere, spansk og latinamerikansk repr?sentation, avant-garde ...

 1. Forfatterne af det officielle afsnit: Raúl Ruiz, Wang Bing og Denis Côté.

Som vi meddelte i gar , verdenspremieren pa Raúl Ruizs mistede film, La telenovela errante , er stjernebegivenheden i den n?ste udgave af Locarno-festivalen. Filmen er blevet modtaget i den officielle konkurrence og v?lger den maksimale anerkendelse: Golden Leopard, som Ruiz allerede vandt i 1969 med Tres tristes tigre . Men den chilenske l?rer, som dode i 2011, er ikke den eneste forfatter, der er v?rdig til denne pris. Hans storste rivaler vil v?re den kinesiske dokumentarfilmmaker Wang Bing og den canadiske filmskaber Denis Côté (to gange tildelt i Locarno i kategorien Bedste instruktor for Curling og Elle veut le kaos ). Udgivet i juni pa documenta14 i Kassel, Fru FangDet er den forste tilgang til Alzheimers patienter, som Wang Bing har gjort gennem hele sin karriere. Mens Côté vil konkurrere med en dokumentar om titlen pa bodybuildinguniverset En hud sa blod .

2. Konkurrence i forkant: Ben Russell og Travis Wilkerson

To eksperimentelle filmskabere fra USA lover at gore den forestaende Locarno-festival unik. For forste gang, Ben Russell ( Lad hver enkelt ga, hvor han matte ) og Travis Wilkerson ( En skade til en ) kaldes til at konkurrere i den officielle sektion. Den forste med dokumentaren Held og lykke , filmet i miner i Serbien og Surinam. For hans del satser Wilkerson pa en anden af ??hans uklassificerbare artefakter, der gennemgar og fordommer sit lands morke fortid. Ifolge Wilkerson, Spekulerede du pa, hvem der fyrede pistolen? er en dokumentar med detektivmomenter og r?dselsdiagrammer om America's History.

3. Europ?isk premiere af Heldig af John Carrol Lynch

Den store tilstedev?relse af amerikanske instruktorer i den officielle konkurrence er det mest overraskende faktum i denne udgave af Locarno. Ud over de ovenn?vnte Ben Russell og Travis Wilkerson er det v?rd at tilfoje Aaron Katz, Jim McKay og John Carrol Lynch med det meget forventede Heldig. Denne fiktion om en nihilistisk cowboy, med hovedrollen i den nonagenarian Harry Dean Stanton (og med David Lynchs sekund?re pr?station), vil blive set for forste gang i Europa.

4. Cineasti del Presente: Ikke offentliggjorte forfattere

I ar ser det ud til, at udv?lgelseskriterierne for Cineasti del Presente v?lger for nye opdagelser fra forfattere. I mods?tning til andre udgaver er Locarno-festivals n?stvigtigste konkurrence - hvor forste og anden film konkurrerer - fuld af tidligere ukendte eller lidt kendte navne. Vi fremh?ver dog den nye film af den algeriske filmskaber Narimane Mari, der debuterede med det storslaede Rode bonner , og New Yorker Eliza Hittman, forfatter af Det foltes som hjemme .

5. Luis López Carrasco i den nye Signs of Life-konkurrence

Sidste februar annoncerede den schweiziske konkurrence, at dens ikke-konkurrencedygtige sektion Signs of Life i 2017 - med ansvar for at beskytte avantgarde-v?rker, hvis radikalitet overskrider udv?lgelseskriterierne for filmene fra Concorso Internazionale og Cineasti del Presente– ville blive den tredje Locarno konkurrence. Saledes konkurrerer eksperimentelle shorts og spillefilm for forste gang i festivalens historie i samme sektion og konkurrerer med en pris, der er v?rdsat til 5.000 CHF. Murcian Luis López Carrasco kunne v?re den forste filmskaber, der blev tildelt i de nye tegn pa livet. Efter at have pr?senteret sin debutfilm, Fremtiden , i samme sektion (i 2013-udgaven) vender den tidligere komponent af Los Hijos-kollektivet tilbage med Aliens: en kort film om det mangefacetterede ikon for Madrid-scenen, Tesa Arranz .

6. Essentials of Signs of Life: Dane Komljen og Radu Jude.

Luis López Carrasco er ikke den eneste filmskaber, der vender tilbage til Signs of Life. Den bosniske instruktor Dane Komljen, hvis fremragende debut Alle byer i det nordlige premiere sidste ar i dette afsnit, vil konkurrere med sin nye kortfilm Fantasy s?tninger . Sandsynligvis en anden af ??hans fortryllede fabler, defineret af dens forfatter som "en film i to bev?gelser, knyttet sammen gennem historier om m?nd, der bliver til r?ve." Den tredje habende vinder af Signs of Life er rum?nsk Radu Jude. Direktoren for Aferim! og Arre hjerter (Special Jury Prize i den tidligere officielle Locarno-konkurrence) er pa Signs of Life med sin dokumentar om Rum?nien i 1930'erne og 1940'erneDen dode nation .

7. Latinamerikanske hovedpersoner: Nelson Carlo de los Santos Arias og Adirley Queirós.

I mods?tning til tidligere ar ser antallet af latinamerikanske instruktorer ikke ud til at skille sig ud over andre filmfotografier. Kun tre brasilianske spillefilm og en fra Den Dominikanske Republik citeres i Schweiz. Sidstn?vnte er ansvarlig for Nelson Carlo de los Santos Arias. Den Dominikanske - autoritet af Roberto Bolaño's ekstraordin?re tilpasning af 2666 med titlen Santa Teresa og andre historier , opdaget i Filmadrid og gendannet pa Margenes Festival - vil konkurrere i Signs of Life med hans etnografiske drama Cocote. For hans del den brasilianske instruktor Adirley Queirós - kendt af det bem?rkelsesv?rdige Branco Sai, Preto Fica - vil ogsa frigive sin tredje film Era uma vez Brasília .

8. Laissez bronzer les cadavres! i Piazza Grande

Efter hans uforstaelige frav?r pa Cannes Film Festival syntes Locarno det ideelle sted for belgiere Hélène Cattet og Bruno Forzani for at frigive deres l?nge ventede thriller Laissez bronzer les cadavres! Forfatterne af kult-neo-giallos Den underlige farve pa din krops tarer og Amer viser ikke deres nye v?rker i nogen af ??de tre konkurrencer, men i Piazza Grande, det rum, hvor dramaer eller romantiske komedier er koncentreret til alle publikum, blockbuster-action eller horrorfilm og store klassikere. Uanset arsagen til optagelse i Piazza Grande-programmet, vil vi ikke ga glip af denne tilpasning af romanen med samme navn af Jean-Patrick Manchette.

A modern sport with traditional roots: the Senegalese struggle

The country's national sport preserves cultural traditions and offers a path to economic independence

Abdoulaye Sy's strict combat preparation routine begins four months before the "special fight." Every day, he gets up at six in the morning, prays, and drops a mysterious liquid prescribed by a marabout - or local religious leader - over his head for good luck. Next, head to Dakar beach to train in fresh air before sunrise.

The professional fighter, who will fight at the new China-funded stadium in Senegal next month, is as strict with his bodybuilding regime as he is when it comes to putting spirits on his side. In addition to his mystical "bath" in the morning, in the afternoons he places pieces of paper with extracts from the holy book of Islam, the Koran, in a bottle of water and spills the mixture on the body.

Although it is not unusual to see dozens of men gathered in front of a small television on the streets during soccer tournaments, the fight is what fills stadiums and excites the crowd in this West African country. A newspaper recounts the latest events in the sport and the faces of the fighters are often seen on public buses and billboards.

At sunset, across the Dakar peninsula, groups of young men run and fight in the arena in hopes of earning a small share of the hundreds of thousands of dollars earned by some of the most famous fighters. "It can be a way for young people to get ahead in the country, without emigrating, and respecting tradition," said Dominique Chevé, an anthropologist who has studied the Senegalese struggle for more than 10 years. For many it is "la lutte ou la pirogue", that is, fighting or taking a boat trip through the Mediterranean in the hope of finding an opportunity in Europe.

The sport, which evolved from centuries-old war training in remote Senegal villages and has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry, has not lost its roots. Although the fighters arrive at the stadium in tracksuits similar to those of American boxers, underneath they wear lucky charms awarded by the influential marabouts.

On the day of the fight, Ndir wore a traditional gray-gray pagne (loincloth) (amulets) spread across his body. On the upper arms, bracelets made of sheepskin were filled with passages from the Koran to give it strength. She wears shell necklaces around her neck to protect herself. And on his head he wears a long traditional stick adorned with red-dyed leather that his uncle gave him following the advice of the marabout.

The influence of globalization is felt in the stadium: traditional dances, songs and poetry - which change depending on the ethnic group and the neighborhood of the fighters - are performed by groups wearing T-shirts sponsored by telecommunications companies. But there is a "strengthening of tradition, globalization has not completely eradicated [these customs]," says Chevé. "The fight is entirely Senegalese, and the Senegalese defend it as such."

Ndir claims that he would have continued to fight had it not been for the grave dangers. In laamb , the fighting mode that allows punches, fighters only wear a mouth guard. He stopped fighting a year ago and is now leading a 50-man security team in his neighborhood.

"My mother asked me to stop fighting. That is what all mothers say ».

100% vegetable sources of protein

One of the most important nutrients in our diet is protein. For those on a vegetarian or vegan diet, plant protein sources are a constant concern.

This should not be taken in a negative sense, as it is okay to worry about our health. And in this case, it forces us to take control of what we consume, and to inform ourselves about the foods that provide us with this nutrient the most.

Proteins not only fulfill the function of creating the muscles of our organism. They also help us form tissues, counteract bacteria, viruses and other external agents that can make us sick, and transport vitamins throughout our body.

In the case of vegetable proteins, they are present in many foods. We are going to highlight the main groups and the foods of these respective groups that have more amounts of the nutrient.

Main sources of vegetable protein in food

Of all the plant-based foods we eat, there are some that provide higher amounts of protein. They are often talked about for their equivalence when it comes to nurturing vegetarians and vegans from this vital source of health.

Vegetables

In addition to some vegetables, such as brussels sprouts, artichoke or alfalfa, the amount of protein they provide is minimal compared to the main and prominent foods with plant-based proteins, such as legumes, nuts, whole grains and the seeds. However, it would be unfair not to recognize that they have and make a short list of which ones stand out in this regard.

Vegetables

Legumes are very present in the kitchens of the 5 continents. They are one of the main sources of vegetable protein, in addition to being rich sources of iron, and many vitamins and minerals.

The most prominent legumes are also the easiest to find and the most widely used, such as soybeans, dried beans, lentils, black beans, beans, dried peas, white beans, chickpeas and azuki.

Whole grain cereals

Whole grains are next in the hierarchy. And while nuts and seeds may contain more in proportion, grains are an indispensable source of many other nutrients.

They provide energy in the form of carbohydrates and vitamins, as well as fiber and many minerals. And they are the basis of food for most populations worldwide.

The most prominent plant protein foods are oat grains, wheat bran, spelled grains, quinoa, wheat grains, amaranth, teff, and oat flakes.

Nuts and seeds

Nuts and seeds, although they have large amounts of protein, are eaten to a lesser extent than cereals and legumes. Although they should never be missing in a diet based 100% on plant products.

Prepared foods, indispensable vegetable protein sources

There are a few foods that are indispensable in a vegetarian and vegan diet. It is nothing more or nothing less than tofu, tempeh (both soy products), tahini (sesame) and seitan (wheat gluten).

These foods from other products already discussed are essential in a vegan diet. They are also very present in other balanced diets, such as macrobiotics.

Other sources of protein: vegan supplements

In addition to foods with plant proteins, there are food supplements. These should never be taken with the idea of ​​replacing balanced meals, but as supplements for athletes and athletes.

The information on vegan proteins that exists today is not enough to dispel the old myths, even in sports and bodybuilding. Those old legends argued that non-animal proteins do not provide this nutrient in the same way as those of animal origin. Today we know that even many bodybuilders are vegan.

As we have already said, a balanced vegan diet contains all the nutrients necessary for a healthy life. Vegans do not have to be an exception when it comes to doing any sport, both as a hobby and at a more professional level.

A well-kept vegan diet is a great source of natural carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. All of them are of great need for life in general, and also for any sporting activity.

In addition, today it is even very accessible to find these sports supplements for vegans, from vitamins to proteins. An example is the supplement for athletes or weight lifters based on pea protein , a very high source of it.

There are not a few elite athletes who attribute their great physical performance to a vegan diet. Among them:

Martina Navratilova , previously cited. The multi-time tennis champion has been a vegan since she was a child and defends this lifestyle.

Scott Jurek , one of the most important ultramarathon runners in the world in the United States. He has been a vegan for two decades. In his fabulous book Running, Eating, Living he recounts his experience.

Mike Tyson , the greatest living exponent of boxing heavyweights, went vegan in 2010. And in his own words, he felt alive and healthy again.

Andreas Cahling , professional bodybuilder who has been on this diet for more than 3 decades.

Murray Rose , an Olympic swimmer, triple gold medal at age 17, had a vegan diet.

And the list is very extensive.

In addition to pea protein, or soy protein powder, there are other rich sources of protein with which many supplements are made. Highlights include products made from rice protein and hemp protein.

14 supplement myths

Separating the truth from myths can sometimes be difficult in the world of bodybuilding and fitness . Everyone has an opinion, and usually those opinions are based on rumors, disinformation, or 10 seconds of propaganda on the news or radio. Many myths about supplements remain, even though those myths have been studied and proven to be wrong.

 This article will take a look at 14 supplement myths . We will show you the myth first and then the truth, and then the truth will dispel that myth. If you know of another supplement myth that isn't on this list, I urge you to do your own research and look both ways in the debate. Supplements are often painted as unnecessary or dangerous, nothing could be further from the truth.

 Myth # 1: whey protein will make you fat

Truth - Whey protein will not make you fat. Only eating an excessive amount of calories daily can make you gain weight. Eating an appropriate amount of protein each day will ensure muscle gains. On the other hand, if you eat less protein, it will be more difficult for your body to add muscle mass.

 Myth # 2: Supplements are an unnecessary expense of money

Truth: The number of muscle building and nutritional supplements on the market is enormous, helping to maximize performance and overall health. Don't let the exaggerated claims of a 'snake oil' vendor lead you away from products that can amplify your efforts.

 Myth # 3: I have a good diet, I don't need supplements

Truth: A balanced diet is a good start, but it does not mean that you are meeting all the nutritional needs of your body. Nutritional needs can vary and fluctuate depending on age, health, stress, and intense training. Consider supplements an insurance that fills in the gaps.

 Myth # 4: All supplements have the same quality

Truth: Not all supplements are created in the same way. Different companies have different standards. Some companies have low quality and purity of materials, so they can offer a low price. Don't buy supplements based on price. You may be throwing the money in the trash. Instead, seek the opinions and studies of the best products.

 Myth # 5: Creatine is a steroid

Truth: Creatine is nothing like a steroid. Creatine is a natural substance found in the human body that helps to supply energy to (first) muscles. Anabolic performance enhancers are drugs that mimic the benefits of the male hormone testosterone and are commonly taken in excessive and dangerous amounts. While creative is safe and natural, steroid use comes with potentially dangerous side effects.

 Myth # 6: Supplements improve your strength and muscle mass, even if you don't train.

Truth: Although supplements can improve your health, combat stress, improve sleep and the immune system, they are not magic pills and powders that can make you an outstanding bodybuilder. Supplements help amplify your workout, but they won't make you more muscular or stronger if you're not training hard in the gym.

 Myth # 7: Supplements cause many side effects

Truth: Most of the ingredients contained in the supplement are found naturally in the human body. or in food. A supplement would cause minimal side effects.

 Myth # 8: Creatine causes kidney damage

Truth: Because of its popularity as a performance-enhancing supplement, the use of creatine has been extensively studied. Creatine has been shown to be safe and non-toxic for people in good kidney health and function.

 Myth # 9: Creatine causes cramps

Truth: As in the previous myth, this myth has also been studied and proven to be incorrect. In fact, one study revealed that athletes who are supplemented with creatine experience fewer muscle cramps, strains, injuries, dehydration, and tight muscles. (Mayhew, Mayhew, and Ware)

 Myth # 10: Everyone gets the same results from supplements.

Truth: This is completely false. Each individual is unique, and two athletes do not train in the same way, nor do they eat in the same way. You will often find that creatine or nitric oxide as a pre-workout works better for some than for others. In fact, it is very common for one person to obtain minimal benefits from one brand, but very good from another. Don't assume that because a supplement didn't work well for your friend, it won't work for you, either.

 Myth # 11: High protein diets are not healthy

Truth: There is no study that confirms the comment that a high protein diet impacts healthy individuals with good kidney function in a negative way.

 Myth # 12: Athletes don't need extra protein

Truth: Studies have shown that athletes who train hard require extra protein. Exercises tend to demolish muscle tissue, and additional protein helps assist the body in repairing and rebuilding damaged tissue. In addition to this, studies suggest that athletes who do not eat enough protein, or who eat what is considered "normal" amounts of protein, often lose muscle tissue.

 Myth # 13: Fat burning is a waste of money

Truth: The most popular fat burners contain a number of ingredients that are effective in stimulating your metabolism, promoting and helping the body burn fat. Fat burners are certainly not miracle products that will help you shed fat even if you're eating poorly, combined with weight training, cardio and a good diet, they help boost your energy and metabolism during long periods of weight loss.

 Myth # 14: Our bodies make enough omega-3s and fatty acids on its own

Truth: The body does not produce essential fatty acids on its own. Omega 3s are considered essential, which means that the body is unable to produce them, and that they must be obtained from the food we eat. Supplements like fish oil supply the body with the necessary omega 3s, and are beneficial for hard-working athletes and individuals on a diet with limited calories.
