Training to failure

In weight training, **training to failure** is to repeat an exercise movement (such as the bench press) to the point of momentary muscular failure. Contrary to widespread belief, this is not the point at which the individual thinks they cannot complete any more repetitions, but rather the first repetition that fails due to inadequate muscular strength.[*citation needed*]

Training to failure is, however, a controversial topic. The proponents of High Intensity Training — Mike Mentzer, Arthur Jones and Ellington Darden — advise training to failure on every set. But other experts believe that this will lead to overtraining, and suggest training to failure only on the last set of an exercise .

Some practitioners recommend finishing a set of repetitions just before the point of failure; e.g. if you can do a maximum of 12 reps with a given weight, only perform 11.

Others extend the training to failure concept and recommend performing 3-4 reps beyond failure by mildly compromising correct form in order to increase "burn".

## Main uses for training to failure

By training to failure, one fatigues enough of the muscle fibres to prevent lifting a particular weight.
Combining training to failure with drop sets allows fatiguing more fibres with each set.
In fact doing drop sets without first training to failure with a heavier weight, or not training to failure on each drop set, will not yield optimum results, so drop sets may be considered a form of training to failure.

Training to failure is mainly considered a hypertrophy training technique, as muscular strength, power, and endurance gains can still be made without training to failure. However one might argue that if you can physically do more, then you are not training at your optimum level, so it may be considered a general principle for any aspect of training, even cardio/aerobic training such as running or cycling (until you physically cannot continue), but again this increases the risk of injury, of collapsing, and of feeling extreme discomfort for the next few days.

## Repetition Max (RM)

Working out your Repetition Max (such as your 1RM) must be done to true failure, so this also can be considered a form of training to failure. Though 1RM is the most popular and commonly used, any number of reps can be used, for instance a 10RM or 15RM, in fact your 10RM weight will be much more useful for you in terms of training than your 1RM, and can be performed with a much lower risk of joint injury (due to the lower weight). Your 10RM would be the weight at which you can do 10 repetitions, but fail to fully lift the 11th rep.

Upright row

File:CableMachineUprightRow.JPG
The **upright row** is a weight training exercise performed by holding a barbell with the overhand grip and lifting it straight up to the collarbone. This is a compound exercise that involves the trapezius, the deltoids and the biceps. The narrower the grip the more the trapezius muscles are exercised, as opposed to the deltoids. Dumbbells, an EZ Curl bar, or a cable machine can be used instead of a standard barbell.

Due to the amount of internal rotation of the humerus during this movement, many trainers and organizations (such as the ACSM and NFPT) consider this a contraindicated exercise for all trainees. Most, will at least advise those with shoulder impingement issues to avoid it. Abstaining from raising the bar above the chest line will help in avoiding injury. If pain arises, stop this exercise immediately, as it may be an indicator of a pinched nerve. Substitutes include shrugs (for upper trapezius development) and lateral raises (for lateral deltoids).

While the movement resembles the end portion of the high pull it works different muscle groups. In the upright row, the shoulders provide the force to lift the weight upwards, while in the high pull, the majority of the force is generated by the lower body, with the scapulae providing the rest of the force, and the arms are raised in response to (not as the cause of) the rising bar.

The Number One Black Female Bodybuilders

# Black Female Bodybuilders

You have to be completely dedicated to bodybuilding if you are one of the black female bodybuilders, because if you aren't, you won't be able to put in the required work to get better. You can't float around in the middle ground. You can't make up eating 7 meals every single day. You can't just act like you did your workout when you really didn't. You have to be committed to come up with the focus that is required for serious training sessions. Female lifters are even more taboo. The sexiness of a woman mixed with strength isn't something that main stream media has accepted, but we're getting there! However, the consistency that one must have to see results is crazy!

## Black Female Bodybuilders are the same

Someones race doesn't determine whether a body can become great. However, that's not to say that genetics don't play a large role in accounting for how much lean mass someone can have naturally. Black bodybuilders tend to be able to have more mass, which is definitely a good thing. However, this isn't set in stone and is simply a developing trend.

The training methods of a girl depend on what type of contest is coming up. There are two types: bodybuilding and figure. Bodybuilding is all about mass and it gives points for extra vascularity and perfect symmetry. Figure is more concerned with developing a more feminine physique that is aimed at more of an overall fitness body. Both types of contests require lots of work. However, bodybuilding requires that one lift weight within the hypertrophy rep range while figure uses a lot of endurance-based workouts that are for a smaller physique.

### Black Female Bodybuilders - Don't Forget Dieting!

Diet is probably the number one thing is building a nice body. Black bodybuilders must have a ton of dedication and willpower to push through the tough spots in training. Your diet needs to be custom tailored to your needs. Figuring out what to eat will require whether or not to bulk or cut.

Tension (physics)

**Tension** is a reaction force applied by a stretched string, rope, or other object on the objects which stretch it. The direction of the force of tension is parallel to the string, away from the object exerting the stretching force. So if an object hangs from a rope due to gravity, the gravitational force on the object points downward, and there is an equal tension force in the rope pointing upward, making the net force on the object equal to zero.

Note that tension can act in any number of dimensions and is not limited to one-dimensional strings. For example, two-dimensional membranes, such as a balloon, undergo a force that can be referred to as tension.

Because tension is a type of force, it has the same units as any force: kg·m/s2, or N.

Tension exists also inside the string itself: if the string is considered to be composed of two parts, tension is the force which the two parts of the string apply on each other. The amount of tension in the string determines whether it will break, as well as its vibrational properties, which are used in musical instruments.

The magnitude of the force of tension typically increases with the amount of stretching. For small stretching, the force is often described by Hooke's law.

String-like objects in relativistic theories, such as the strings used in some models of interactions between quarks, or those used in the modern string theory, also possess tension. These strings are analyzed in terms of their world sheet, and the energy is then typically proportional to the length of the string. As a result, the tension in such strings is independent of the amount of stretching.

Trap bar

The **trap bar** is an implement used in weight training. It is an assemblage of bars welded into a shape which lies flat in a plane, comprised of:

1. A barstock welded into a circular, square, trapezoidal, or hexagonal shape, sized to allow a human to stand in the middle
2. 2 (almost always) coaxial stub bars, welded to opposing positions on the outside of the perimeter of the hollow portion
3. A set of handles pointing forward and back, welded inside the hollow portion.

The trapbar was invented, patented and trademarked by Al Gerard, a competitive powerlifter.

The stubs are used for loading the trapbar with plates. The handles are used to hold the trapbar while an exercise is performed. Note that these handles are aligned at 90 degrees to the plate-loading bars.

The trapbar is used primarily for two exercises: the trapbar deadlift and shoulder shrugs. It may also be used for overhead presses, upright rows or "high pulls," and stiff leg deadlifts.

The trapbar's use in shrugs is promoted by Paul Kelso, in his book *Kelso's Shrug Book* (2002). However, there is also an entire chapter in the book on training with the trapbar for competitive deadlifting, for which the bar was originally intended. The advantage with deadlifts is that there is no risk of the bar hitting the front of the legs. The grip is also different, targeting the shoulder and arms differently. The advantage with shrugs is for the same reason, as the traps can be targeted directly against gravity, rather than the angle necessitated by the impossibility of having a shrugging bar directly below the body.

Variants are produced by several vendors.

Proponents of trapbar deadlifts include *Hardgainer* magazine, Bob Whelan, the Cyberpump website, and Ken Leistner.

## Basic Starting Strength Questions

#### Which Version Should I do?

This largely depends on how often you'd like to powerclean, deadlift and do pull-ups. If you want to deadlift and powerclean 1-2x/week and pull-ups aren't a priority (you'll get to do them eventually) do The Original Starting Strength Program. If you'd like to Deadlift, powerclean and do pull-ups about equally, do The Onus Wunsler Beginner Program. If you don't ever want to do powercleans and you only want to deadlift 1x/week, but you'd like to do pull-ups 2x/week do The Practical Programming Novice Program. You will gain extraordinary amounts of strength on any one of these fine programs.

#### Can I incorporate power cleans into the Practical Programming Novice Program?

Yes, you can. This isn't a "published" routine but it is one that Rip teaches at his gym. For this reason it's called "The Wichita Falls Novice Program." It looks like this:

##### Wichita Falls Novice Program

Waist

For other uses, see Waist (disambiguation).
 File:FlyBelly.jpg
Not to be confused with waste.
The ****waist**** is the part of the abdomen between the rib cage and hips. On proportionate people, the waist is the narrowest part of the torso.

**Waistline** refers to the horizontal line where the waist is narrowest, or to the general appearance of the waist. People who diet are often said to be trying to "improve" their waistline.

Women tend to have narrower waists than men[*citation needed*].

## Fashion

The waistline of clothing generally corresponds to the human waist.

Traditionally belts are worn around the waist.

Jewelry, such as a belly chain, may be worn around the waist.

## Waist-hip ratio

*Main article: Waist-hip ratio*
Waist-hip ratio is the ratio of the circumference of the waist to that of the hips. It measures the proportion by which fat is distributed around the torso.

A waist-hip ratio of 0.7 for women and 0.9 for men have been shown to correlate strongly with general health and fertility.

Hip and buttock padding is used by some males who cross-dress as females to increase the apparent size of the hips and buttocks to resemble those of a female.

## Waist measurement

 File:Overweight waistline.jpg
The size of a person’s waist or waist circumference, indicates abdominal obesity. Excess abdominal fat is a risk factor for developing heart disease and other obesity related diseases. The National, Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI)  classify the risk of obesity related diseases as high if: men have a waist circumference greater than 102 cm (40 in), and women have a waist circumference greater than 88 cm (35 in).

A study published in The European Heart Journal April 2007  showed waist circumference and waist-hip ratio were predictors of cardiovascular events.

## Waist reduction and training

According to a study,[*citation needed*] women waistlines have grown by 4.3 cm (1.7 in) in the last 10 years from an average of 80.8 cm (31.8 in) to 85.1 cm (33.5 in) inches believed to be caused by sedentary lifestyle.

**Waist reduction** or **waist training** refers to the act of wearing a corset or other constricting garment to reduce or alter the waistline. The four floating ribs may be permanently compressed or moved by such garments. A girdle may also be used to alter the appearance of the waist and inhibits one's ability to breathe well.

Waist reduction may be used simply to reduce the width of the waist. This change can be permanent or temporary.

Waist training may be used to achieve a certain permanent waist shape, such as a pipe-stem waist.

Torso

For other uses, see Torso (disambiguation).
 File:Grays Anatomy image1219.gif
**Torso** is an anatomical term for the central part of the many animal bodies (including that of the human) from which extend the neck and limbs. It is sometimes referred to as the **trunk**. The torso includes the thorax and abdomen.

## Anatomy

### Major organs

Most critical organs are housed within the torso. In the upper chest, the heart and lungs are protected by the rib cage, and the abdomen contains the majority of organs responsible for digestion: the liver, which respectively produces bile necessary for digestion; the large and small intestines, which extract nutrients from food; the anus, from which fecal wastes are excreted; the rectum, which stores feces; the gallbladder, which stores and concentrates bile and produces chyme; the ureters, which passes urine to the bladder; the bladder, which stores urine; and the urethra, which excretes urine and passes sperm through the seminal vesicles. Finally, the pelvic region houses both the male and female reproductive organs.

### Major muscle groups

The torso also harbours many of the main muscle groups of the body, including the:

* pectoral muscles
* abdominal muscles
* lateral muscle

### Innervation

The organs and muscles etc. are innervated by various nerves, mainly originating from thoracic vertebral segments. For instance, the cutaneous innervation is provided by:

* Ventral cutaneous branches
* Lateral cutaneous branches
* Dorsal cutaneous branches

Warming up

File:Ambox style.png | **To meet Wikipedia's quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup because it is in a list format that may be better presented using prose.**

 File:Warming up.jpg
 File:2006Taipei101RunUp Group CHB WarmingUp.jpg
A **warm up** is usually performed before participating in (technical) sports or exercising. A warm up generally consists of a gradual increase in intensity in physical activity. For example, before running or playing an intense sport one might slowly jog to warm muscles and increase heart rate. It is important that warm ups should be specific to the exercise that will follow, which means that exercises (of warm up) should prepare the muscles to be used and to activate the energy systems that are required for that particular activity. The risks and benefits of combining stretching with warming up are mixed and in some cases disputed. Warming up prepares your body mentally & physically.

## Benefits

A warm up will improve the effectiveness of training and should be done before every training session. This is fundamental to a safe practice.

* Direct physical effects:
	1. Release of adrenaline
		+ Increased heart rate
			- Enables oxygen in the blood to travel with greater speed
			- Increased production of synovial fluid located between the joints to reduce friction
				* Allows joints to move more efficiently
		+ Dilation of capillaries
			- Enables oxygen in the blood to travel at a higher volume
	2. Increase of temperature in the muscles
		+ Decreased viscosity of blood
			- Enables oxygen in the blood to travel with greater speed
		+ Facilitates enzyme activity
		+ Encourages the dissociation of oxygen from haemoglobin
		+ Decreased viscosity within the muscle
			- Greater extensibility and elasticity of muscle fibres
				* Increased force and speed of contraction
	3. Increase of muscle metabolism
		+ Supply of energy through breakdown of glycogen
	4. Increase in speed of nerve impulse conduction.

## Types of warm ups

* **Head muscles:** Spin your head both clockwise and anti-clockwise slowly and gently, spin it for 10 times. This could help stretching your muscles.

* **Ballistic Stretches:** Ballistic Stretches help extend limbs more during exercise to allow you to be more agile and flexible.

* **Static Stretches:** Flexing the muscles to help prevent injury and allow greater flexibilty and agility. Note that some sources discourage static stretching as muscles are more prone to damage if stretched while cold.

Pulldown exercise

The **Pulldown exercise** or the Cable Lat Pulldown is a compound exercise designed to stress and develop the Latissimus dorsi.

The pulldown is a compound exercise because it requires movement at two joints (elbow and shoulder). The full range of the motion required by the exercise also works the biceps muscle in the arm and the muscles of the middle back. The pulldown uses a similar motion as the chinup.

## Form

To properly accomplish this exercise the person sits on a bench as part of a Lat pulldown machine. The feet should be flat on the floor and knees tucked under a padded bar, to keep the athlete seated firmly. Depending on the desired width of the grasp (moving hands closer, or farther apart will stress different parts of the muscles) grasp the overhead bar in a pronated, sometimes called overhand grip (palms facing away from you towards the front, knuckles up and toward the rear) pull your shoulders straight down towards the floor and pull smoothly downwards on the bar. The move should be executed by concentrating on attempting to bring the shoulder blades together in the back and your elbows as far towards the floor as possible. Do not lean back and use your body weight to pull the bar down. Arch your back in the middle and complete the downward move by touching the center of the bar to the collarbone area or upper chest. Hold in this position briefly, concentrating on form and bringing the shoulderblades close and contracting the Lat. Slowly and in a controlled manner, return the bar upward until your arms are straight, then move your shoulder blades wide and shoulders up high as if you are shrugging and allow the pull of the bar to stretch the muscles in your back that were contracted performing the exercise. Relax for a second, pause and repeat the exercise until repetitions are complete or muscle is exhausted, according to your plan. The finish, at the top of the reach and the downward shoulder movement at the beginning, is very important in ensuring complete muscle involvement and maximizing benefits derived from performing the exercise.

## Other variations on this exercise

This exercise can be varied by changing two major positions involving the grip. Different widths of the hands from nearly twice as wide as shoulder width to as close as inside the shoulder, and changing the position of the hands from overhand, to supinated, to parallel will alter the path the elbows take and thus stress different portions of the muscle. In addition, multiple cables may be used by advanced bodybuilders to escape the motion limitations imposed by the use of a single bar.
