Bench Press: Your bench press is your very standard bench for
pressing weights on. Generally this will be a soft rubber covered
bench for you to lie back on and it will probably also come with a
stand for your barbell to be place on and lifted off of. Bar Brothers System Review While bench
press is the 'main' exercise you use a bench for, it can double up in
many other scenarios and be used for curling weights while seated, or
for pullovers so is a highly useful item to have and possibly one of
the most important.
Dumbbells and Barbells: These are the two main kinds of weights that
you will lift, press and curl. The dumbbells are the smaller weights
that you hold in one hand, while the barbells are the longer weights
that you will use with two hands. The best kinds to get are
adjustable weights that allow you to add or remove more weights to
the middle handle as that way you can build up as you increase in
strength.
Resistance Machines: Resistance machines are any machines that allow
you to train your muscles through a set range of motion. Once you
have your weights you will be able to train most parts of the body
from the arms to the pecs to the legs, but it is going to be
something you do free form and at your own leisure, whereas a
resistance machine has you sitting in a specific position and
pressing or pulling a pad or a handle. This then will work out
specific muscles and 'isolate' them for more focussed growth while at
the same time keeping you safe from injury.
Some of the most common types of resistance machines are the lat pull
down which is used for training your lats by pulling against a bar
attached to a cable, the chest press which is a seated version of the
bench press, the pec deck which has you bringing two pads together to
train the chest, the leg extensions for your quadriceps and the
hamstring curls for your hamstrings - though there are many more
besides these ones.
