Girls’ exercise is no longer about yoga, dancing, Pilates and treadmills! As the fitness trend gets bigger and bigger, most girls begin to walk into the gym. They pursue health, strength and beauty, and begin to fall in love with lifting irons like boys.
Today we want to talk to you about some of the advantages and disadvantages of girls in weight training!
1. Can girls become stronger and stronger?
I believe many people have the impression that no matter how they practice, they seem to be unable to compare with boys. Indeed! The strength and muscles of girls are indeed more difficult to develop than men. For example, as both Olympic weightlifters (same level), girls cannot lift heavier than men!
Although women may be a little weak in the innate conditions of strength, through training, you can see that they are growing gradually, even stronger than ordinary men. You can see that many girls are still pull-ups as simple as eating!
2. Many women have different physical joints. Often good, but lack the ability to control the body.
Most girls will have good flexibility and mobility, which will make you less hinder your training movements! But relatively speaking, stability will also be insufficient!
Compared with boys, women may need to spend more time learning to control the body, which is also a major focus in training.
Learning how to control the body correctly and maintain stability will bring good training results. Some female students have a background in sports, which will help them shorten their learning time, but not everyone has such relevant experience. Therefore, for general women's training, we recommend learning from the most basic and simple movements.
3. Women lack the ability to maintain muscle tension.
Many women have problems that they cannot maintain muscle tension, and it is not easy to catch if they deliberately maintain the feeling of force, especially the upper body is more obvious.
I believe many women It is difficult for students to catch muscles when training upper limbs. This is very common in modern society where the whole nation lacks exercise. Compared with boys, they have to put in more effort to do better!
4. Most girls have poor core stability!
Although Pilates is so popular in the field of female fitness, many people are still ambiguous about how to activate the core muscles and the ability to tighten and stabilize the body. This is a difficult problem that is not easy to solve. Especially in the heavy training movements, you need to have the ability to activate the core muscles to protect yourself from injury.
Recommended that learning this ability takes a lot of time and effort. If you want to achieve results in training, these basic skills are what you must do.
It is recommended that women reduce training for abdominal muscles only, increase overall training movements, and exert their stable abilities in the core muscles. This can shorten the overall training time, but the intensity can gradually increase.
5. When girls are squat (squat) movements, they are prone to excessive participation in the knee joint due to the quadriceps leading movements, especially for people without training experience.
When you are used to using the power of the quadriceps to perform movements, a common problem is that your back muscles and hip muscles will be significantly weaker, and it is easy for you to produce knee joint-dominated movements. This is the key reason for many knee injuries.
6. Girls are It is easy to have knee valgus (inner eight) during leg training
Most girls have this problem, and there are many reasons for the whole problem, such as the congenital increase of (Q-Angles) Q-angles due to the wider female buttocks, and girls are taught for a long time to "sit like a lady".
Knee valgus (inner eight) can easily cause knee injuries during training, especially during leg training (squats, squats, leg kicks, etc.)
