How To Make Your Body More Symmetrical With Exercise
There is an endless array of exercises out there. And it seems as though each expert has a different opinion as to which exercise is best for the desired result you are looking for.
If you don’t have a PhD in kinesiology, you just might end up with a mental hernia.
Thus, today I would like to shed some light on the best exercises for changing how your body is shaped.
Without further ado, here are some top level exercises for the desired change:
1. More chest development: If you are only doing bench presses, you are missing out big time. You see, bench presses with dumbbells are much more effective at building up the chest. They are also much easier on the shoulders.
2. A wider back: I’m sure you have seen someone in your gym doing lat pull downs to the back of their head. Not only is this dangerous, but it’s also not as effective as lat pull downs to the front. And for maximum stimulation for a wider back, use an ultra wide grip.
3. Broader deltoids: Lateral raises work for this effect. However, pressing dumbbells overhead is a much better movement to create what you are looking for. And you can also use more weight which will further help with growth.
4. Bigger quadriceps muscles: Most people looking for bigger quads will do regular back squats. The problem with this, however, is that regular back squats target the hamstrings and glutes. If you want to increase the size or definition of your quads, front squats are the way to go.
Now I strongly advise that you don’t get overwhelmed by all the different recommendations out there. If you were to try to absorb information from all the different sources, you’d end up paralyzed.
Instead, just start incorporating these exercises into your current routines and pay attention to which ones are working for you. And taking action is critical here, or else you will forget what you have learned!
