I have organized the client’s training program with the major muscles first in the program after that I would repeat the muscles again. In addition, since the client had requested for 6 resistance training days I have strategized by splitting the major muscle groups into several days as seen in the client’s program. Furthermore, with having 6 days of resistance training it would be tough but with a mixture of upper and lower body days it would allow the client to recovery and build the muscles. Not only, he would be build muscles, he would improve in his speedball games.

For a novice weight lifter, I would use the 1-RM test on the client to test muscular strength. 1 RM is considered the gold standard to measure muscular strength. The 1 RM test can be used with any muscular group. It can be tested either by using a free weight or machine. To test muscular endurance I would use the push-up test. Endurance tests are specific to the muscle group. The push-up test is simple and does not require much equipment to be performed.

Muscular endurance is being able to work a muscle or muscle group for a long period of time at less than maximum effort, (Amezdrox, G. Dickens, S, Hosford, G. and Davis, D. 2012). Muscular endurance was tested by completing a sit up and push up test. My rating for the sit up test were super and for the push up test my rating was excellent, (see appendix 1). These tests were chosen instead of others because if you have a strong core whilst playing touch football, it is seen that you can perform better and this is what these tests work on, (Touch Football Australia, 2013).

My client, Jacob, is a 22 year old senior in college, and desires to deadlift with proper form. His overall goal is to gain muscle mass on a semi-ectomorph body frame. His knowledge and experience with the deadlift movement is nominal. He wants to increase the weight he lifts, but under an initial consultation, I noticed that his initial movement, breaking the weight from the floor, was inadequate to improve his performance goal. Jacob admitted his novice status in the use of free weights for mass building, and submitted to begin learning as if he were unaware of any knowledge of the movement. Gross motor skills showing need for improvement were scapular retraction and load preparation in the lower body in order to break the bar from

Gradually increase intensity by increasing rep number, set number and by decreasing break time. Once you reach a significantly high rep number, focus on doing the same number of reps in a short period of time and really feel the burn.

There is a considerable misplaced and nearly always neglected concept that is just an important definite necessity with regard to any kind of weightlifting routine- either for physical fitness, muscle mass building, powerlifting, strength training or professional sports performance- which will certainly raise the actual intensity in addition to greatly enhance your gains without ever modifying a single facet of your present workout. A bit too often- sports athletes remain zeroed in entirely on exactly how much these individuals could possibly lift, more often than not minimizing top quality technique, and consequently more or less always omitting this amazing essential technique. That is considered markedly valid given that this specific weightlifting technique should be able to naturally humble individuals driven entirely on simply how much extra weight that they have the ability to lift.

Reliability: The reliability of this test really depends on you using the same method each time. If you warm up you must do it the same way every time you do the test as you might get a better result if you warm up for longer. Validity: Measures the flexibility of the lower back and hamstrings Strength-

A muscle and fitness team put together an article, quoting ”Using too much weight in an exercise is a high-risk proposition ripe with injury potential. What's too much: If you can't control a weight on its downward, loading trajectory; if you can't contain a movement within its bio mechanical boundaries; and if you have to jerk or heave a weight in order to lift it”(M&F). This way the M&F team delivers a strong sentence to prove that using too much weighty can really hurt you in a long term perspective. Knowing so change the ways of your workouts to protect yourself long

In this study, skeletal muscle-specific force, maximal isometric force per cross-sectional area of the muscle, concentric force, contractile properties, activation capacity and the structural characteristics of the muscle were tested. The results showed through the measures of body composition and physical function. (Jordan, what were you trying to say here? I’m a tad confused.)

In this particular experiment, level 10 indicates a scrawny male whilst 100 represent an extremely muscular figure. Additionally, there were 20 trials per level of muscularity for both upright and inverted body orientation, which were randomly presented throughout the experiment.

Based on Maria's health benefit score, from her curl ups, push ups, and mCaft test, the priorities of this program will be to strengthen her upper body strength and increase her cardiovascular fitness. Her upper body strength needs improvement and she has good core strength, but still needs to work to increase it. The biggest issue or concern is that Maria gets bored easily and has plateaued. Due to this issue, the program will be changing variation every two weeks to keep Maria interested. In addition, the intensity of the program will also be increasing every two weeks. Based on the information given by Maria, she is an intermediate lifter (has worked out for the last six months) and can start at an intensity of 70%. Based on this value and information the intensity will increase by five percent every two weeks. The second biggest concern

The origin of Weightlifting can be traced back to the beginning of recorded history  when a man's fascination with physical abilities was found among numerous ancient writings. Progressive resistance training dates back at to Ancient Greece, when wrestler Milo of Croton trained by carrying a newborn calf on his back daily until it was fully grown. Another Greek, the physician Galen, described the strength training exercises using the “halteres “ which was an early form of dumbbell in the 2nd century. “Feats” are also depicted in the Ancient Greek sculptures. The weights were generally

3) After practice repetitions, you will perform five repetitions at your maximal effort of the leg extension, your peak strength on a clinical strength-testing machine. You will also perform three maximal effort contractions on the handheld dynamometer in each hand.

The solution to this problem would simply be to learn the proper execution technique and inquire prior knowledge of the situation to obtain maximum results the right way. As well as weight lifting, she uses weightlifting as a prime example of people overusing their body. For example, using weight can put a strain and pain in your lower back and cause more serious permanent damage. She states “It can be tough choosing the right weights so if you don't have a spotter nearby, it's better to go too light than too heavy”(Waehner) referring to the over exaggerated weight people use trying to overdo what their body can handle. Therefore, the only way people can save themselves from a painful future would be to invest more time learning, then doing demented
