Here is a list of some of the techniques we combine in Be-More Training. You take what works and discard all that does not apply to your goals.
Free weights:
The industry has grown to know the term "free weights" as barbells and dumbbells. "Free weights" distinguish from the exercise machines but are not limited to just barbells and dumbbells. Free weight means that the weight is free from attachment - just you and the weight. There are many different weights to lift and there are many ways to lift to them, not everything is "weightlifting."
Weightlifting:
Weightlifting is an Olympic sport that consists of two lifts - the snatch and the clean & jerk. In these movements a barbell is taken from the ground to arms-length overhead, in one quick motion (two for the C&J). Training the "quick lifts" and their many variations will build power, strength and a certain amount of athleticism, as these movements require a high degree of balance, coordination and flexibility. There is no greater test of full-body strength than lifting a weight from the ground to overhead.
Bodyweight:
Bodyweight exercises are the most important of all exercises to learn as they allow you to train with little or no equipment. The most basic of all movements, is simply manipulating your body. Bodyweight efficiency is first prioty for health and fitness. Your flexibility and cardio-vascular training fall under this category as well. These are exercises you can do anytime and anywhere. Every exercise you do first starts with moving your body.
Kettlebells:
Before the barbell, there was the kettlebell. A primative tool for exercise that combines your strength training and cardiovascular work. Kettlebells make up a large portion of my training. They are brutally efficient and there is no other tool more effective, more convenient and more fun than a kettlebell. Don't underestimate the high rep stuff!
Odd-object Training:
In your life outside of the gym, you don't always have the luxury of lifting balanced, precision engineered barbells. Everything in the gym was designed for lifting - the things in your garden, living room or garage usually aren't. There are times when you need to lift and/or carry unwieldy objects and the good news is there are ways to train for that! The concept of odd-object training has gained recent popularity but this is how men trained before there where health clubs.
Grip Training:
Our hands are our tools, and hand strength is important not only in sport but in life in general. It would be impossible to name all the functions of the hand. You use your hands all day long, in almost everything you do! Virtually all athletic endeavors require strong hands, but how come so few train grip? At Be-More Training we understand the importance of strong hands, and we take our grip training seriously. A firm handshake goes out to all of you who agree!
