Resistance Training Exercises Flashcards
ACSM’s recommended training
- Minimum 8-10 exercises
- 1 per muscle group
- at least 1 time through
bent knee sit-up
muscle=abdomen
Full sit up
-assistance exercise
Abdominal crunch
muscle=abdomen
eliminates hips from workout
-assistance exercise
Bent-over row
muscle= upper back (lats, traps, rhomboids, rear delts, core)
Supplements-elbow flexion
-core exercise
Lat pull downs
muscles= upper back (lats, traps, rhomboids, rear delt)
no core
-core exercise
Seated row
-upper back similar to bent row w/o core engagment
no stress on torso
-core exercise
low pulley seated row
-upperback no torso support engages some core
alternative for bent row
-core exercise
barbell biceps curl
- biceps and forearms
- assistance exercises
hammer curl
- brachioradialis, bracialis, less biceps engagement
- mid prone wrist position
- assistance exercise
standing calf raise
- gastroc, soleus
- (gastroc inserts on femur)
- assistance exercise
- gastroc in stretched position
seated calf raise
- gastroc, soleus
- less stress on spine
- more focus on soleus b/c gastroc is already shortened
flat barbell bench press
- pecs, anterior delts, triceps
- good for building mass
- athletes want max ROM
- alternate w/ dumbell
- shoulder width grip max. ROM
- restricted ROM protects ant. delt
- CORE exercise
Incline Dumbbell press
- pecs, ant delt, triceps
- upper portion of pecs (upper clavicle)
- core exercise
Pectoralis Major
Has 3 origin and insertions
- upper clavicle
- sternum
- abdominal naprosis
- must work all three sections
Flat DB fly
- pecs, ant. delts
- keep constant angle w/ elbows
- single joint ex.
- assistance exercise
vertical chest press
- pecs, ant. delt, triceps
- same as bench
- less need for stabilization
- core exercise
wrist curl
- forearm flexors
- assistance exercise
wrist extensions
- forearm extensors
- assistance exercise
Hip sled
- guads, glutes, hamstring, adductor magnus
- hip & knee extension
- minimal torso involvement
- foot angle= knee pointed over toes
- core exercise
Back Squat
- quads, glutes, hamstrings, core(low back isometrically)
- bar below 7th cervical vertebrae (low) less upright
- bar above 7th cervical vertebrae (high) more upright
- more forward lean=more stress on hip extension
- “safe” top of the thigh=parallel to ground
- deep squats may stress knee
- structural exercise
Front Squat
- barbell on front of shoulders
- forces an upright position
- more knee extension
- focuses on quads
- parallel or crossed arm position
- structural exercise
Forward Step Lunge
- unilateral exercise
- glute, hamstring, quads
- hip + knee extensors
- less weight used
- thigh parallel to ground
- knee over toes
- structural exercise
Step up
- glutes, hamstring, quads
- forward stepping
- unilateral
- step height = femur parallel to ground
- knee and hip extension
Good Morning
- glutes hamstrings, low back (iso)
- hip extension only
- low back stabilizes
- structural exercise
