(However, if you train with excessive intensity and frequency, it may negatively affect your health). There are several ways to weight training, such as using barbells, dumbbells, machines, and bodyweight training. If you frequently exercise with correct form and appropriate load, each type of training has a positive effect regardless of age, gender, or exercise history ete. The environment for people who want to start weight training is definitely improving because you can easily do weight training in a comfortable environment thanks to the spread of 24-hour gyms and personal traii g, and you can learn about weight training through social media videos such as YouTube. The essence of weight trai ing techniques for muscle building (muscular hypertrophy) by using barbells, dumbbells, and machines is becoming popular due to books, personal trainers, and the environments where you can do it. On the other hand, I feel that the weight training technique, "Bodyweight Training" which uses one's own weight as a load is less so. I hope that this book will help readers build their bodies and improve their health by touching the essence of the "Bodyweight Training". Introduction ing way that uses one's weight as a load is the "Bodyweight Training". It is widely known and performed under names such as “Calisthenics”, “Body Weight”, and “Street Workout”. There are many books published on the theme of “bodyweight training” in Japan and the books are often treated as “easy weight training for beginners”. However, the “Bodyweight Training” is not a weight training technique for beginners. If you resist gravity and perfectly control your full body, you use your body as weight. If you challenge yourself with difficult exercises, the operability of your body improves. By doing Set & Reps (the set that is so intense, it causes nausea), you can get a broad chest, V-Taper back, capped shoulder, and six pack abs. This is the "Bodyweight Training". In this book, I would like to tell you the essence of the "Bodyweight Training” from the following five points of view. The following five sentences are titles of contents. Pull-up and Dips are Everything. Not For Beginners Equipment is Necessary Challenge the Difficult Exercises There is no muscle that can be used -Pull-up and Dips are Everything The pull-up is known as the “Queen of Exercise” and the dips are known as “Upper Body Squats”, so they are expected to enlarge muscles and increase muscle strength. Many bodybuilders, who work on training programs, such as the barbell, dumbbell and machines, do the two exercises. If you do the two exercises, Pull-up” and “Dips”, with correct form in 10 reps, you will be surprised how your body changes. If you do not have experience of doing 10 reps with correct form, the hurdle is too high to do so. However, if you continue the training step by step from the easy exercise, you will be able to achieve it. Even if you acquire “Pull-up” and “Dips”, “Bodyweight Training” is not over because this book provides exercises that are more difficult than “Pull-up” and “Dips”, so you can rest assured. » Not for Beginners You can easily adjust the load of weight training exercises with the barbells, dumbbells, and machines, according to the purpose, such as enlarging muscle, increasing muscle strength or muscle endurance. In contrast, “Bodyweight Training” cannot make the exercise load heavier or lighter than your own weight. Even 1 rep, you cannot do the two exercises “Pull-up” and “Dips” introduced on the previous page if you do not have experience in exercise and weight training. In order to acquire the exercise from a state where you cannot do even 1 rep, a unique approach to "Bodyweight Training”, such as doing easy training repeatedly, or reducing the load, is required. General weight training increases the exercise load step by step to enlarge muscle and improve muscle strength. In addition to increasing the exercise load step by step, “Bodyweight Tr: 12” requires training to be able to do more difficult exercises. Doing the movement (exercise) that you cannot do until now is challenging, This is a pleasure in “Bodyweight Training”, and leads to the fact that this Bodyweight training is not a weight training for beginners. The “Bodyweight Training” is treated as "a weight training way that requires no equipment and does not cost”. However, the “Bodyweight Training” does require equipment such as a weight vest, an ankle weight, and a dipping belt, to increase the exercise load step by step because "Overload Progressive” is a major principle of weight training. What is more, "Pull-up", "Dips", and a lot of "Bodyweight Training” require equipment. The pull-up bar can be replaced by a beam, and the dip bar (parallel bar) can be replaced by a chair, however, these are not originally made for exercise. There is a risk of injury if it breaks during training as well as repair costs Furthermore, in apartment building, you have to pay attention to the sound. You don't have to stick to doing “Bodyweight Training” at home. It can be more positive if you do weight training and relaxation in a park or a gym than trying not to make sound in a small space at home. You may feel a bit embarrassed if you do “Bodyweight Training” at the gym. However, if you want to change your body, you need to repeat the exercises with correct posture and push yourself to the limit. If you do so, your body will change after using barbells, machines, and bodyweight training. The feeling that Bodyweight Training” at the gym is embarrassing may be an obstacle for changing your body. Do training and use machines aimlessly, while watching your mobile during the exercise. OR Repeat exercises with correct posture and push yourself to the limit. You have already understood which is better for changing your body. Challenge the Difficult Exercises People who have little exercise experience can feel the effects of weight training even by doing “Push-ups”, “Squats”, and “Pull exercises by using tube towels”. However, if you only do the easy exercise, “Bodyweight Training” will soon reach its peak. Challenge is important to change your body. Challenging yourself with a new exercise will be a new stimulus to your muscles, and will be an event that will change your body. In this book, the level of exercise difficulty is rated from 1 to 5 stars. On the next page, I will explain the important points at each stage of we 15. > Level of Exercise Diffi culty «1 If you have little experience of exercise or weight training, please start from the = 1 exercises.

Exercise Selection This book contains explanations and points for more than 90 exercises. The number of “Bodyweight Training” exercises is vast, so exercises are selected by the following criteria in this book. Exercise Selection Criteria @eExereise that you can learn if you are appropriate weight regardless of your shape @xercise that you can do and learn the movement if your muscles have reached the required strength. The following exercises are excluded from the selection. 1, Exercise that is less effective than weight training. Bodyweight fly , Suspension fly 2. Exercise where there is a risk that you could fall because you release your hand from the equipment Clap Pull-up, Clap Dips me | Y @ Exercise that has many features of gymnastics and requires repeating exercises with a large amount of time + Exercise that is difficult to learn if the weight is above a certain amount. Free Handstand, Cross suspension, Planche @Exercise that is greatly influenced by how to use the body for learning. Muscle Up, Front Lever, Back Lever © Exercises that the author could not acquire If you search on the Internet, there are many exercise techniques and points. However, I think that if you take learning seriously, you can get something from the process. From this vast number of Bodyweight ing exercises, in this book, I have carefully selected the ones that I during learning and practice. -Useful Muscle? “Useful muscles can be trained by Bodyweight Training” I occasionally hear this theory in Japan. But, I have never seen experimental results and dissertations that prove this theory. If I look at “Uncanny movements of gymnasts”, “Movements of wrestling players with power and stamina”, etc., I may feel that their muscles are “useful muscles”. *However, the competition itself, such as gymnastics and wrestling, just makes me feel "useful muscles". “You can hit a home run”, “You run the fastest”, “You score a hat-trick” The muscles of a player who can demonstrate high performance in the competition are useful muscles. If you do weight training, sports performance will not improve immediately.(x Barbell squats > You can run faster * Wrist curls > You can throw fast ball) If you don't run, you cannot run faster. If you don't practice throwing balls, you cannot throw fastballs. Instructors with specialized knowledge and experience are needed to improve your performance through your improved muscle strength and enlarged muscles by weight training, (= Strength & Conditioning) el In sports weight training, it is easy to encourage a competitive spirit among players. While some trainers with specialized knowledge of weight training in some strong schools or teams provide guidance, many provide guidance without specialized knowledge as managers and coaches, and students do weight training on their own. If you do weight training without knowing the correct techniques, your sports performance will not improve, as well as there being increased risk of injury. When doing exercise with barbells, it is easy to challenge yourself with a greater load than your ability. This may be because there is a lack of knowledge or the desire to show off to the surroundings, but many people may misunderstand exercises using barbells as “Weight = Ability”. If you don't acquire the correct form, using a heavy load exceeding your ability may cause a injury. (Squat Knee joint, Bench press-> Shoulder joint, Deadlift —Thoracic spine, Lumbar spine) On the other hand, for Bodyweight Training, if you don't have much impulse for exploration and passion, you will not increase the exercise load by using a weight vest, a dipping belt, etc. The load is not greater than your own weight, so is less likely to lead to serious injury. is close to daily acti so even if you do exercise on your own, the form is less likely to be wrong. For this reason, anyone can feel the effect of the weight training. However, though using barbells or dumbbells as the weight training leads to injury, “Bodyweight Training” makes you feel that it has a little effect. This experience leads to expectation that “useful muscles can be trained by bodyweight training”. -Document Flow Chest tha wd ah nia my ey e+ ma Rech @Explanation of each body part In the explanation, weight training techniques and exercises will be explained for six body parts, such as “Chest”, “Back”, “Shoulder”, “Arm”, “Abs”, and “Leg”. @Basic principle Explain the common use of the body in the exercise of the part.

If you know the names of each joint movement, it will help you learn about exercise movements. Particularly, understanding the movement of the shoulder joint is necessary to acquire the correct form. 6 movements of the shoulder joint Elevation @Depression Raise the shoulder blade above Lower the shoulder blade below @Adduction @Abduction Pull theshoulder blade toward Open the shoulder blade outward. the spine side. @®Upward rotation @Downward rotation Rotate the shoulder blade upward Rotate the shoulder blade downward (to the head side) (to the leg side) Improve Shoulder Flexibility The range of motion is the range where the joint moves to the maximum extent. This range of motion is determined by the two factors, “Joint Structure” and “Muscle Flexibi If " joint damage" become narrower. If “there is a difference between left and right” and “the range of motion of a specific joint is narrow", the load affects joints which have a wide range of d to injuries, so you have to take care of them, If you do weight training, you don't need a wide range of motion like a rhythmic gymnast. However, some exercise requires a certain range of motion. The shoulder exercise, “Wall Handstand”, espe ,, is important to expand the range of motion of the shoulder joints in order to acquire the correct form. 1 would like to introduce four exercise / stretches that are effective for expanding the range of motion of shoulder joints. Ifyou do the static stretching with them, you possibly expand the range of motion of the shoulder joint. @Reverse praying Pray on the back of the body. Please start praying from around the waist, ion ofprayng ada It will expand the range of motion of the shoulder joint. and rai the p @Reverse Plank Bridge Shoulder « The*Kill three birds with one stone” exercis is expected not only to improve the range of motion of the shoulder joint, but also expand the chest, and prevent injuries around the spine. Your knee, waist and shoulders are lifted in a straight Ii Be careful not to drop your waist. x @One arm bridge After doing "Reverse Plank Bridge", put your weight on one hand and move other hand away from the floor. Be careful not to drop your waist when you move your hand away from the floor. If you move your hand away vertically from the floor, the range of motion of your shoulder joint expands. a ot @Stick stretching Towels can be substituted with sticks Be careful not to bend your waist backwards when you reach your hand to your back. If you close your right hand with the left hand while griping the stick, the range of motion of your shoulder joint expands. @Wall back handstand stretching You move your head towards the wall while you do the shoulder » « « « posture,“Wall back handstand”, where your back is on the wall. »Straight Alignment “Straighten (the core of) the body” frequently appears during the explanation of movement. This is not to harden the core of the body, except for some "shoulder" and "belly" exercises, What you have to be conscious of while moving are the movements of the targeted part (muscle) and joints. What is more, by being conscious of the position of the entire body in mind, the body moves and coordinates more smoothly, so the accuracy of the form improves. In order to be conscious of the position of the entire body, “Straighten (the core of) the body” is an effective way, so it frequently appears in the explanation of the movement. Depending on the exercise, you have to be conscious of different positions, such as your front, your middle (center of gravity line), or your back. Front of body Conscious parts: Chin, Ppectorals major, Rectus abdominis ‘Targeted parts: Chest, Shoulder (Pull-operation), Biceps, Belly. Middle of body (center of gravity line) Earlobe, acrominon, greater trochanter, anterior knee joint, and 2-3 cm in front of lateral malleolus are straighten Basic consciousness in all exercises Back of body Conscious parts: back of head, shoulder blades, gluteusmedius fargeted parts: Back, Shoulder (press movement), Triceps »Chest There are few people training by themselves who consider the balance of their whole body, such as “Train my legs once a month”, “Recently, I started training the back of the deltoid muscle”, “My exercise is to do dumbbell curl only”, ete. However, everyone always trains his or her "chest". When people start weight training, many people only do “Bench Press”. Of course, I was also obsessed with “Bench Press” when I first started weight training. “Bench Press” grabs many people's mind, far beyond the one exercise to train their chest. Among the three competition events “Squat”, “Bench Press”, and “Deadlift”, of “Power Lifting”, “Bench Press” is the only official event held and has more participants than that of “Power Lifting”. What is the most popular exercise? It is “Bench Press”. So what is the exercise that is closest to anyone? It is “Push-up”. How many “push-ups” can you do within the time limit? How many reps can you continuously do? “Push-up” is used around world as an indicator to measure the muscle strength and endurance of the upper body. There was even a TV program in the past broadcasting only “Push-ups”. "Greater pectoral muscles" are the muscles at the front of the body. For this reason, you can be easily conscious of muscle movement (contraction and extension), and easily feel "Pumped-up", which is a phenomenon where muscles swell due to an increase in the amount of water in the cells due to exercise). The exercise movements have centrally two movements, Pressing and Fly (Opening), so that you can make the training menu simple. For this reason, you can easily place and increase more and more load, which is a basic principle to improve muscle strength and enlargement.If you get the required knowledge and do your best, your chest will rapidly become bigger! -Upper Chest The greater pectorals mus led into three parts, "Upper part", "Middle part" and "Lower part". In addition to the “Bench Press” and “Push-up” on the previous page, there are exercises on the chest, which place a heavy load on the lower part of greater pectoral muscles. When "the lower part" of the greater pectoral muscles are extremely enlarged compared to the “upper part” and “middle part”, the pectoral muscle looks like it is hung down. If you want to get a good shape of great pectoral muscle that rises from your collarbone, you need to do exercise with a heavy load on the upper part of your greater pectoral muscles. ‘Typical Exercises which place a heavy load on the upper part of greater pectorals muscle Weight Training Incline Barbell Press, Incline Dumbbell Press, Incline Fly Bodyweight Training Incline Push-up »Press Movement You can place the heaviest load during the exercise on the chest. If you adjust the form, number of reps, loads, etc., of the exercise, you can frequently do it. (A leading example: “Frequently Doing Bench Press”, known as "Every Bench") If you do exercise using barbells, you ask assistants if necessary, because there may be some risks that you are crushed (cannot raise it halfway), or that you drop dumbbells on your face due to being off balance during exercise. “Weighted Dips”, where you can put your feet on the floor if you are crushed, are suitable for pressing exercises when there is no assistant. Typical Press Exercise Weight Training Bench Press, Dumbbell Press, Machine Press Bodyweight Training Push-up, Dips -Fly Movement Oo x Done by bending the elbows out You can easily stretch on your greater pectoral muscles more than the Press movement. Increasing the load, volume, frequency, etc. may lead to injury. Thi common for exercises with intense muscle stretches. (Dumbbell Fly, Incline Curl, Pullover, etc.) You may feel muscle squeeze (contraction) in "Machine Fly” and “Cable Crossover” more frequently than stretch. If you use suspension training equipment, Double AB roller, etc., you can do Fly while you do Bodyweight Training. However, it not recommended since there is a high risk of injury if you maintain and lose balance. Typical Fly Exercise Weight Training Dumbbell Fly, Machine Fly -Pullover Movement "Pullover" is the exercise that puts a load on all muscles of the upper body. The amount of the load on the front and back of the body changes depending on the form, range of motion, grip, equipment, etc. Also, it is expected to widen (open) the rib cage. A wide rib cage is needed to get a large upper body. (if you want to expand the rib cage, it is often added as a super set such as “Squat” or “Deadlift”) Typical Pullover Exercises Dumbbell Pullover, Barbell Pullover, Machine Pullover »Get “Thick Chest” by “Bodyweight training”! Fly movement and Pullover movement These two movements, using a barbell / dumbbell / machine are safer and more effective than "Bodyweight Training". Therefore, the Press movement becomes the core of "Bodyweight Training". You can get “Thick Chest” by just doing press exercise. Please, look at the ancient Greek stone statues. They have well-developed greater pectoral muscles. At that time, there was, of course, no machine or even barbell or dumbbell. Despite such an environment, there were the persons with developed greater pectoral muscles in the pictures above. For this reason, the stone statues could be made. How about training at that time?
