Lifting dumbbells too quickly can cause muscle strain

Many men like to compare each other when practicing dumbbells, either comparing who lifts the weight or who lifts it more times at the same time. In fact, this is very wrong.

　Shu Dan, senior coach of Zhengzhou Weiti Fashion Fitness Club, explained that pushing dumbbells too fast, coupled with the swing of the body, can easily cause muscle strain. In severe cases, it may even cause muscle tear. The dumbbells are too heavy and are not within their scope of application, and the chance of injury will also increase. Moreover, dumbbell exercises also require high joint fixation. If it is too fast or too heavy, it is very likely to cause damage to the joints. At the same time, moving too fast will cause more tendons to be subjected to. Although it can exercise explosive power, it is for the muscles. There are very few exercises, and the target muscle group cannot be effectively exercised, thus not achieving fitness results.

The correct way to lift dumbbells is: open your feet and shoulder-width to keep them stable, straighten your chest and abdomen, the angle between the upper arm and the forearm is 90 degrees, the palms of your hands face straight forward, the fist eyes are opposite, and then push up. Exhale when pushing, and the movement must be slow, it is best to maintain a uniform speed. Shudan also reminds dumbbell enthusiasts that if you like the dumbbell sport, but you don’t know what kind of weight of dumbbells are suitable for, then you can go to a professional fitness club and ask the coach to help you with strength training, which can not only ensure the effect of your exercise, but most importantly, the safety factor of the exercise is also improved.
