e.mccormick · Answer

Do you know where muscle group with the pectorals is at?

clairexiaoke · Answer

ya, i think is rock climbing

clairexiaoke · Answer

it's at you chest

e.mccormick · Answer

Exactly, and yoga is not as much muscle building as stretching.

clairexiaoke · Answer

ok, can you help me on a few more questions

e.mccormick · Answer

Depends on the questions.

clairexiaoke · Answer

Alexander uses a variety of muscular training machines at the gym and keeps a log of his progress. Each time he exercises, he tries to do at least one more repetition than the last time he worked out. Alexander is applying the principles of

 overload and reversibility.

 specificity and progression.

 overload and tedium.

 specificity and tedium.

clairexiaoke · Answer

I'm not so sure about this one, but I think is the first one

e.mccormick · Answer

Hmm, well, which of those applies to what part?  What I mean is, where do toy see overload in that and where do you see reversibility?

clairexiaoke · Answer

well, he's repeating and adding on to his original training. hmmmm, so it's the second one?

e.mccormick · Answer

Again, which part do you see relating to what in the question.  See, "Alexander uses a variety of muscular training machines at the gym and keeps a log of his progress." has one type in there and " Each time he exercises, he tries to do at least one more repetition than the last time he worked out. " has another.  So if you absolutley know one of them, you can eliminate some possibilities.

clairexiaoke · Answer

will the first part seems like progression, so it would be the second one right?

e.mccormick · Answer

Hmmm.... that does not seem like progrssion to me.  There are two key parts to it as just a sentence:
variety of muscular training machines
keeps a log of his progress

Well, no matter what yo do you should log progress.  So, "variety of muscular training machines"  Know of any where that is a critical aspect?

clairexiaoke · Answer

so its tedium

clairexiaoke · Answer

tedium and overload then?

e.mccormick · Answer

Yah, tedium and overload.

clairexiaoke · Answer

thx!!! :)

e.mccormick · Answer

The one does seem like Progression, which is a type of Overload, but the other does not sound at all like Specificity because that matches the training to a specific goal.

clairexiaoke · Answer

ok, that makes so much sense now :)

clairexiaoke · Answer

If you could perform just one exercise to improve the muscular condition of your upper body, which should you choose to obtain the most benefit?

 abdominal crunches

 pull ups

 calf raises

 squats

clairexiaoke · Answer

and for this one I'm not sure if its abdominal or pull ups, I think is abdominal

e.mccormick · Answer

Certainly not the last two...  hmmm...

e.mccormick · Answer

Yah, I think the crunches too.  Pullups, if I recall, are not as large a muscle group...  wish I knew where my book with all the groups was LOL.  had diagrams for which exercise triggered what.

clairexiaoke · Answer

ok XD

e.mccormick · Answer

Refrences!  Always worth it.

clairexiaoke · Answer
