Core Muscle Training – The Mighty Spot The Good, Bad, And The Ugly

January 21st, 2011
Chess McDoogle asked:




When one is potentially unable to perform a certain core muscle training exercise on their own, then they require “a spot”.

1. Usually the case is that the weight is heavy for the trainee, and while he probably will be capable of a certain number of reps, he possibly will not be able to perform the complete exercise within his desired rep range, on his own. Hence he will enlist the help of a spotter. This is an important step in maximizing core muscle training as it allows the trainee to complete those last so important reps of the exercise which contribute the most to building size and strength.

2. Another reason the trainee utilizes a “spotter” during core muscle training has to do with maintaining proper form, performing a “one rep max” in which the trainee is only concerned with determining his strength level and progress by finding out how much weight he can lift for one repetition.

3. A third reason a spot is used for core muscle training, is as a psychological aid which will be discussed further below.

Common exercises which generally require a spot during core muscle training with heavy weight are free weight bench press, and free weight squats. Though any exercise can utilize the added core muscle training and building benefit of a good spot, these are the two big dogs that require a spotter when using heavy weight.

Procedure for a spot during core muscle training:

The spotter will generally only slightly assist the lifter in the reps where he begins to show signs of struggle. Then the spotter will increase his assistance until the trainee is clearly no longer able to perform another rep, at the completion of the previous rep. Here the spotter assists the trainee in racking the weight, thus completing his core muscle training set.

The universal problem: the “jackass spotter”:

Unfortunately there are no “schools for spotters” in the typical gym. If there were perhaps there would be less of what we coin as, “the jackass spotter”. This is the type of spotter who will practically lift the bar with all his might from the onset of the exercise. He will not even wait until you need the spot, he will begin assisting you from the get go with all his might, successfully negating any muscle building effect from your core muscle training.

Envision this:

One can imagine psyching up for a core muscle training big lift, only to have the jackass spotter end up doing all the work. At the end of the spot, the jackass spotter will immediately proceed to say, “good job bro, it was mostly all you.” The trainee tends to be too exhausted, frustrated, and bewildered at this point to do anything more than nod his head. Now one may say, well he can just do another set, and use another spotter. Wrong. For the jackass spotter always follows up with, “let me know if you need another one bro, I’ll be right over here.” And again the trainee tends to give a frustrated head nod, while the core muscle training destroyer will wait nearby in the wings, periodically looking over ready to rush to the aid for another “spot”. Hence the trainees entire core muscle training set is rendered essentially useless.

Precautions:

So it is necessary to be cautious when asking for a spot. A general and obvious rule is when looking for a spotter for your core muscle training heavy lift, attempt to choose the power lifter over the disco bodybuilder. That is, one who is engaged in the business of serious weightlifting, and not one whose neon shines as heavy as his hairspray.

Ego check:

It is worth it even if you have to travel across the gym and ask someone you know or have observed as being a more serious core muscle training lifter. Of course you run the risk of that individual being so serious as to not have the time or not wanting to break his concentration to give a spot. But, most of the time the lifter will be supportive as he’s been there at one point himself, and will provide you with the spot. Though if not, don’t feel slighted or insulted, instead appreciate and respect the individuals seriousness in regards to core muscle training, and simply move on, asking someone else.

But the main key is to always get a spot if your going to attempt lifting heavy weight during your core muscle training routine with free weight exercises such as bench press and squat.

What is the Best Software to Learn Chinese Language

January 19th, 2011
friction asked:




This is a theoretical analysis and reviews of the best Chinese learning software. Here I try to find out the best Chinese learning software and answer the question by asking:

1. What is the best way to learn Chinese language?

2. What are the differences between learning Chinese and other languages?

What is the best way to learn Chinese?

There are 4 proved, most effective & most important modern language learning techniques or principals which also work on learning Chinese language.

a) Listening & Instant Speaking.

Are there any people learn a language only by watch TV without speaking. No, there are not. If you only practice your listening, you can only learn listening. And the separated practice of listening and speaking is proved to be very inefficient. And it’s the same as reading & writing. There is no such good software can improve your Chinese listening and speaking skills at the same time, except for a software called SuperChinese.

b) Language / Chinese Immersion

Language / Chinese Immersion means the learner is surrounded in the language and directly learn the target language. For example, when you use the SuperChinese software, you learn Chinese language by directly using it, you do not learn from the translation or interpretation. By contrast many software learning application just give you a translation, what you remember is the translation, not the source language / Chinese.

c) Practical & Simple Language is a tool.

If we cannot use it in your work & in your life, what’s point of the learning? The useless practice will exhaust our memory, time & energy, so good designed Chinese learning software should tell us the most useful & the most practical contents in the very beginning.

d) Real-life, Close to reality

According to the modern language learning theory, the closer to reality when you practice the language, the better when you use it. Good Chinese language learning software should simulate reality to help practice your language skill. It means not only to show you some real-life pictures or designed like a role playing game, but also to make you to listen, speak, read and write.

As mentioned above, the only software for Chinese learning that meets the above requirements is the application SuperChinese – Learn Chinese in 3 day.

What is the difference between learning Chinese and other language?

If you want to listen, speak, read and write like a native Chinese speaker, Chinese is difficult, the same as other languages. If you do not use the most effective way and the best software to learn Chinese at the beginning, it may cause to waste a few years time. We should choose good software according to the specialties of the Chinese language.

a) Chinese mandarin has a unique pronunciation system & tone system

The Chinese pronunciation system is called Chinese Pinyin. Without suitable pronunciation & tone training one’s Chinese language skill is defective and disabled. We can hardly believe that there are so many Chinese learning programs without any Chinese pronunciation & tone training function. Or they separate this function into different software. These 2 important training functions are integrated into SuperChinese software and free.

b) Characters in Chinese language have meanings.

Not like letters in English, every Chinese character has meanings. The learners need to understand and memorize the meanings and the pronunciation of the character. If not, it’s quite easy to forget. There is a vocabulary or dictionary function in SuperChinese learning program, which help you to do that.

c) The Chinese unique writing system.

Chinese characters are shapes and drawings. It may be very difficult at the beginning to learn them if not using good software. It’s an important advice from experienced learners of the Chinese language that you should learn Chinese characters at the beginning but do not killing yourself to memorize characters. There are many funny and easy way to learn Chinese characters. You can try the Chinese characters writing animation function in the SuperChinese application.

SuperChinese software is the only application that taken all these techniques, principals and language specialties into account. Conclusion: SuperChinese is the best Chinese learning software.

Muscle Confusion – An Amazing Muscle Builder

January 12th, 2011
Frank Sherrill asked:




So what is muscle confusion? Do you really need to make your muscles confused?

Well not really, you see muscle confusion (MC) is really a training principle that creates variety in your training. The reason to use this training protocol is because muscle confusion prevents plateaus and keeps your muscles growing. Muscles become accustomed to a training program very quickly. We need to develop different exercises and perform a variety of sets and repetitions. The best way is to cycle your training program, typically in four week cycles.

By cycling or changing your training program every four weeks, your muscles cannot become used to the exercises. This forces your muscles to grow quicker than with any other training method. That is why MC is such an exciting training principle.

One way to use MC is to vary the exercises. For example, if you were doing a barbell incline chest press, you could use a hammer strength incline machine one week and then the following week you could do a dumbbell incline press. While you’re still working the upper chest muscles, you’re hitting them from a different angle and this will stimulate new muscle growth.

By using the MC principle you’re guaranteeing yourself consistent results in your fitness and resistance training workout.

Here are three tips to help you in using the muscle confusion principle:

” change your exercises every four weeks.
” use free weights, cables or resistance bands in your workout.
” vary the repetitions and the number of sets you use.

By following these three tips you will get the Maximum Results from your strength training workouts. Use the muscle confusion principle in your training program. Remember the three most important components of gaining muscle size are:

” Proper rest
” Proper nutrition
” Hard training

Make sure you include these three components in your muscle building goals, doing so guarantees fast muscle growth and the body that you dreamed about.

Shoulder Dislocation

January 11th, 2011
Jonathan Blood-smyth asked:




A joint dislocation occurs when the two joint surfaces, which normally sit in intimate contact with each other, are wrenched away from each other to lie apart without any relationship. Joints have a surrounding ligamentous bag called a joint capsule and this can be typically injured as the surfaces force their way past each other. The surfaces of the joints themselves can be damaged as they hit each other on the way to becoming dislocated. Other injuries which can occur include damage to the local nerves and ligaments.

Shoulder dislocation is the most common type of joint dislocation, accounting for nearly half of all such joint injuries. The shoulder dislocates frontwards, an anterior dislocation, in the vast majority of cases. The most common type of injury is one which forces the head of the arm bone forwards with the arm in a position of abduction, outward rotation and extension, the vulnerable position of the joint. Other mechanisms of injury can include a forceful abduction and outward rotation movement of the arm, a blow to the back of the upper arm and a fall onto the outstretched hand (FOOSH).

A posterior dislocation is uncommon and secondary to a stress on the arm when it is inwards across the body and inwardly rotated, with the large back and chest muscles sometimes pulling the joint out of its socket. This can occur if someone is electrocuted or if they have epileptic seizures, both of which can cause muscle spasms. The shoulder can dislocate downwards if there is a very forceful movement of the shoulder outwards and sideways, with the joint being levered out over part of the scapula above. This sort of dislocation should be closely monitored as complications of the injury are common with nerve damage, blood vessels injury and rotator cuff tears.

There may be no trauma in some cases of shoulder dislocation and instability of the shoulder may occur in all joint directions, typical presenting in patients who have hypermobile joints. This condition is called multidirectional instability and tends to happen in both shoulders, run in the family and be in younger people under thirty. A joint subluxation is often the start of these problems, where the joint slips partly off its partner to an amount and then clicks back into place. An ability to voluntarily dislocate the shoulder can occur, perhaps related to psychiatric difficulties in this group of people.

The presentation of anterior dislocation of the shoulder is for the patient to hold their arm rotated outwards and slightly to the side, the arm bone head easily felt at the front of the joint. The shoulder muscles may be in a powerful spasm and trying to move the shoulder results in high levels of pain. A dislocation of the shoulder posteriorly shows itself by the patient keeping the arm close to the body and turned inwards, the head of the humerus being palpable at the rear of the joint, although this condition has been misdiagnosed as frozen shoulder.

Several techniques are used to reduce a shoulder dislocation and the time it takes for the reduction to be performed is important. The muscle spasm can increase in severity and make the restoration of the normal joint alignment increasingly difficult. The oldest technique is to pull firmly on the arm whilst putting the foot in the armpit to give counter pressure. A more modern technique which is less traumatic is for the surgeon to move the arm bone outwards whilst pressuring the humeral head with their hand. Once the arm is at a right angle out to the side the arm can be tractioned and turned outwards, often leading to the joint being relocated.

Pain is a major presentation problem in shoulder dislocation and there are many alternatives that the medical staff can apply to give good pain relief and ease the process of reduction. A recent reduction can be moderately easily relocated in the absence of strong painkillers or muscle relaxants. The most useful sedative drug will have a quick onset of action, be able to supply good muscular relaxation and with an action which goes off quickly to allow rapid recovery. After the joint is back in place a sling is used for up to three weeks to allow the capsular damage to heal.
