Upper Arm Muscle Building

    In order to build up the muscles in your arms, you must follow a few simple workouts that can get the biceps and triceps bigger than they have been before. I will be instructing you on 2 of the best workouts for each aspect of the upper arm from the bicep to the tricep.
    For the biceps you can do both of the exercises such as preacher curls as well as reverse curls. I would add in the idea of just regular curls, but the preacher curls cover that in reality. The preacher curls are quite simple. You just need a spot where you can lay your arms down on a flat surface that secludes your biceps and then get a spot when you sit and then get a curl bar and toss weight on each end to end up curling that weight. You can also grab the curl bar and once you have it, reverse your grip by putting it where the backs of your hands are facing out. Then you can curl it upwards and make the backs of your hands touch your shoulders and curl it that way. Each of these will build your biceps and fast too.
    Tricep workouts are much harder and begin to hurt after long periods of time. The ones I have found to be the most effective are two which are skull crushers and tricep pull downs. A skull crusher is a weight that starts by your chest and then once in the air it must be dipped behind your head. Your arms must be at 90 degrees when dipped down behind your head and once this is done, you can raise the weight back into the starting position. The tricep pull downs are hard but simple at the same time. All you must do is have a weight that is attached to sort of a pulley on a machine and you can grab each side of the bar or rope for the machine and pull down on it. Once you have pulled down on it you may slowly raise it up and you have then done a successful tricep pull down.
    Each of these workouts should be done in variations. These workouts can be changed in how much weight is used, what reps to do, and how one will do them. To start off I would agree with sticking to the light weight high rep rule. You want to feel the burn, but not hurt yourself in the process. Hopefully this helps.

Squat Technique

    Today I will be going over the general technique of a simple weight squat. The weight squat isn't exactly the hardest, but you will see yourself getting a lot stronger when you do it correctly. Besides power cleaning and deadlift, this is one of the most difficult exercises when done correctly. I myself have a 515 pound squat only due to how I squat. I see this day in and day out that many people don’t do it right.     It starts with the middle of the bar resting on top of your shoulder blades and right behind your neck. When younger and doing the placement of the bar incorrectly, you can mess up the growth plates in your back and it could very much affect how you grow. This also could mess up the spine. When the bar is in the correct placement you want your hands at about each side of your body close to your shoulders. Most people who do not have complete flexibility within their shoulders are seen with their hands at the ends of the bar instead of from their shoulders. Onc

Javelin Technique

The art of throwing a javelin is a hard, but a time consuming art. One must make sure that several factors are exactly right and cannot mess up tiny details. When throwing a javelin you have to start with the javelin between your index finger and your middle finger behind the rope of the javelin.  Your elbow need to be fully extended and your arm needs to be back above your head until the javelin is right beside your temple. You need to bend your back knee and straighten your front one. It is necessary to keep your head pointed forward and your hips sideways until you are ready to throw. Keep your non throwing arm out so that you can use it to pull your chest forward. As you throw you need to propel off of the back knee and begin to make a throwing motion with the arm that was back. Use the non throwing arm to grab the air and pull you forward. Use the leg that was extended, dig that heel into the ground and propel off of the momentum of the back leg. You then need to keep your back

Discus Technique

    Let me explain exactly how one throws a discus. The standard discuss in high school is 1.6 Kg or about 3 pounds while in college the standard weight is about the 2 Kgs . When throwing one must have the middle of the discuss in their palm. The ends of your fingers should be touching the edge of the disc. Once it is comfortable enough to not fall out of your hand easily then you should put it out to the side of your body and straighten your arm.     Once you have the grip down, then you should start on your actual throw. Start with your feet perpendicular to the front bar and stand sideways. You may move back a couple inches, but to just do the standing throw you want to be able to be right at the front bar. Then bend your knees at about 120 to 90 degrees. And swing the disc around your body to loosen up the arm and begin to get ready to throw. As you get ready to throw you want to release the disc and let it glide out of your hand. When doing so, you are going to extend your kn
