Self-limiting Exercises...by MensHealth
I found this article in MensHealth Magazine that talked about Self-limiting exercises. Exercises that must be performed with perfect form. Makes sense...and after reviewing these exercises and having tried a few, I agree. The benefits of using perfect form while performing certain exercises are:
1. Reduce the risk of injury
2. Every rep is maximized
3. Boost strength gains
4. Increase fat loss
Here are the exercises from the article:
1. TRX inverted row
2. Single-leg squat
3. Kettlebell windmill
4. Goblet Lunge
5. Kettlebell bottoms-up press
6. Single-arm farmer's walk
"Cheating" also has its place in the gym while performing certain exercises, but in my opinion, it has its own purpose. For most of us, performing exercises while using good form will keep us out of trouble.
For details on how to do these exercises, check out the March 2012 MensHealth magazine or catch them online.
