Are you qualified for fitness partners? 3 key points to be good fitness catchers

Have you done the right thing with your fitness partner?

　　It is a happy thing to have a good fitness partner in the gym. You will study skills, discuss methods, guide each other, learn from each other, and encourage each other.

　　In addition to these! Fitness partners often act as Spotters at the training, helping you give you some tips, some protection or assistance during training!

　　However, these require some professional knowledge to be competent, and there will be problems if there is any error!

　　Today I will share with you three key points as fitness assistants, so that you can be a better training partner!

　　1. Pay attention to the movement trajectory

　　Because we are heavy During training, you often observe your movements from the mirror in front, so you don’t see the movement trajectory comprehensively when doing many training movements, such as how your butt is backward or down when squatting, whether your elbows are leaning forward when you curl, putting your elbows next to your shoulders or suppressing back, and putting the barbell forward when you press the shoulders, which all affects the training effect.

　　So, the first thing to do is to see if the movement trajectory is carried out in the original way. For example, when the other party is doing a barbell squat, from the side, the barbell should be pushed upward, and it is a vertical movement trajectory. Once the barbell movement trajectory is deviated, it means that there is something wrong with your movement.

2. Ensure that the weight is not It will fall too quickly

　　You may think that you need someone to help or push when you are trying to challenge the lifting of a large weight. In fact, the danger is not the moment you lift it up. Anyway, there is no particularly dangerous place to lift it too heavily. An accident usually occurs when you can't control the falling of a large weight.

　　When pushing it up and lifting the barbell and dumbbell, the muscles are doing centripetal contraction, and when you put it down, it is centrifugal contraction. Generally speaking, the force of centrifugal contraction is greater than that of centripetal contraction, which means that you may not be able to lift a certain weight, but you can put it down with some control. In this action, the muscle fibers are pulled to the greatest extent, but they are also the easiest to muscle strain.

　　If you are centrifugal Retraction and centrifugal contraction need to be supported by others, so it is better to lift it lightly and let your fitness partner help you lift it up, and then you have enough strength to steadily perform centrifugal contraction.

　　3. Don’t give too much force!

　　As mentioned above, if every time you lift and put down, will it become a "two-person fitness"? A very common situation is that you are doing bench presses and your partner is practicing deadlift...

　　So in addition to the first fixed movement trajectory, the correct one should be to give some help at the end of each group or when you are close to exhaustion!

　　A little subsidy can actually help you a lot!

　　In the foreign fitness industry, there is a saying that is called magic touch (magic) touch), which means that it is like a helping hand, as if you are helping God, even if you just touch it gently. Of course, there are some psychological hints involved. Maybe the other party even thinks that you have helped a lot and are too powerful, but in fact, it is because your psychological effect is greater.
