Hey Friend,
It's your muscle building coach Lee Hayward here and I hope you're having an awesome day!
I just wanted to let you know about a new training video that I've posted for you covering a Killer Shoulder Workout.
This workout is unique because it focuses entirely on single limb exercises,
meaning that you train 1 arm at a time.
I'm in the process of making a full video series covering single limb workouts for all your major muscle groups, so keep an eye out for those on the Total Fitness Bodybuilding YouTube Channel.
There are several
key benefits to single limb training...
1) First, it will help you
to develop balance and proportion between your left and right sides.
Most people are stronger and more developed on one side of their body,
usually their more dominant side. For example, if you are right handed,
chances are your right arm is bigger and stronger than your left arm.
2) Second, single limb training will stimulate a higher level of
neuro-muscular activation compared to training both limbs
simultaneously. When you focus all your strength and energy on just
lifting with one arm or one leg, you can generally generate more force
output, and this can help spur on new growth.
3) Third, it will
train your body in a more functional manner. With most day to day
physical tasks you generally lift or move with one limb at a time. For
example, when you walk or run you are not working both legs together,
you are alternating working one leg at a time. When you pick up
something it's usually with one arm at a time. And even when you are
using 2 arms to lift something big and heavy (i.e. moving furniture)
very often the load being lifted is unbalanced, and one side ends up
supporting more weight than the other.
By using single limb
exercises in your workouts you can focus on correcting any imbalances
that you may have while stimulating new muscle growth in the process.
This will very often carry over into increased strength for your regular
2 limb lifts as well.
In this video you'll get the shoulder workout, and over the course of the next few videos I'm going
to post up an entire bodybuilding split routine using single limb
training workouts.
