Fast Workout Fixes

January 12, 2009



If you make changes in your workout program frequently, you will continue to see results. This way you will be stimulating your muscles in new ways and hence, they will always be on the move. This will spark your growth and change your entire look.

Changing the type of workout split you’re on, changing the order of exercises you perform, changing the number of reps or sets and others are among the most common changes you can do. There are some other workout fixes that will help you keep going.

These are very minor fixes, so you do not have to worry about fitting them in your schedule. They will keep on challenging your muscles and keep you also interested.

Squat fast fix

First you should be clear about the basics of the squat. Either place a barbell across your back or hold dumbbells. Now, slowly squat as if sitting on a chair, while keeping your back fairly upright. A slight forward lean is okay if that feels comfortable for you.

This will distribute your weight differently, making your thighs work even more. However, you should remember to keep your knees tracked right over your toes in order to avoid any knee pain.

Stiff-legged deadlift fast fix

This will build your muscle. For this fix, follow the general basic stiff-legged deadlift. You can raise your toes a little bit. A few inches will do because if you raise them too high, you might end up uncomfortable and compromise your flexibility. Do it only so much that you feel a stretch in the back of your calves.

When you manage to balance yourself, continue with your deadlift as regular. This will make your hamstrings work.

Push-ups fast fix

Push ups work great because you do not even have to hit the gym to do them. You do the basic push-up belly-down on the ground with your hands placed directly in front of your shoulders and your fingers pointing up. Your body is always in the horizontal position.

You can do this differently by putting your hands on an exercise ball instead of the ground and doing the exercise in an otherwise regular way. This will challenge your ab muscles and your chest muscles because they will work hard to keep the ball steady.

Bicep curl fast fix

Simply by reversing your hand grip, you can perform the regular bicep curl. This will put pressure on your forearm muscles. This fix works so well that you can see the difference almost immediately. However, take care to alter the weight because you will tend to be weaker with this grip.

Chest press fast fix

Perform the chest press as you normally do.  For a change you can move your hands so that they are only a few inches apart on the bar and press. This challenges your tricep muscles, making them work harder. However, you will have to alter the weight for this fix to prevent any injury.
