Single-arm chest clamp: Improve muscle imbalance + enhance core strength

Single-arm chest clamp

　　Cable chest clamp is a training exercise that many fitness enthusiasts love. It can help you strengthen your chest muscles very much. Because it is a single joint movement, it is easier to find the feeling of your chest muscles!

　　Generally, we will use two handles to train breasts, but today I will introduce the benefits of single-arm chest clamping!

　　The benefits of single-arm chest clamping:

　　1. Improve muscle imbalance

　　Do you feel that the size of your chest muscles on both sides will be slightly different, and using single-arm training can help you correct this situation!

　　2. Enhance the core anti-rotation ability!

　　The cable of single-arm movement will generate a side force, which will try to pull and rotate your torso. At this time, you need to activate your core muscle group to fight against this force and maintain the stability of the spine, which will help you increase the anti-rotation core strength!

　　3. When performing single-arm training, you can hold your chest with the other hand, which will help you feel the contraction of your chest muscles!

　The following is the action process and precautions for single-arm chest clamping:

　　Use a normal standing posture, set the pulley to a slightly lower position than the shoulder, choose a suitable weight, and hold the handle with one hand.

　　Maintain the stability of the torso, slightly bent the elbows, and then activate the chest muscles to drive the shoulders to arc horizontally and inward. Stay until the chest muscles are completely contracted and stay for a second, and then slowly open outward!

　　Precautions:

　　1. One of the key points should be paid attention to during the movement is to maintain the stability of the trunk. When the upper limbs are moved, the trunk should be as stable as steel bars and not rotate!

　　2. When retracting inward, let your arms approach the midline of the body, so that the chest muscles will contract to the maximum extent!

　　3. The elbow joint is slightly bent and fixed!
