According to personal trainer Leandro Twin, there are three exercises that almost everyone gets wrong at the gym. Are you part of this group of people? Continue reading and find out.
The Alternating Curl is an excellent exercise to work the biceps. Mainly because it works each arm individually. In this way, you can concentrate better and strengthen them.
Twin claims that most people do one side and then the other. However, the ideal is to raise one arm while the other is almost finished descending. In this way they meet in the middle. This is ideal.
With this move, you increase biceps tension time, improving your muscle strength training.
The Lateral Raise is almost mandatory in every shoulder workout – and yes, training the trapezius is important and makes the difference in working the surrounding muscle groups. Many people do this exercise with the dumbbells held against their body and raising their arms up to their head.
According to the personal trainer, it's wrong. The ideal is to raise your arms only to the shoulder line, always trying to throw the dumbbell as far away from you as possible. Leandro also points out that movement should be done in a circular way.
Finally, we have the Vertical Pull. One exercise excellent for working the back muscles, but that many people do wrong. Most do with elbows too wide, which is wrong.
The ideal, according to Leandro Twin, is to bring the elbow closer to you, bringing it closer to the oblique.
