1 USING FREE WEIGHT EQUIPMENT Free weights are different in design and slightly different in function compared to machines. Free weights allow a nonrestrictive effect on your joint movement. Using machines are different in that they have a predetermined movement pattern. This nonrestrictive movement is what allows you to do so many different exercises with only one barbell or a pair of dumbbells. We have the Olympic style barbell that weighs 45 pounds. Hip sled is 150 pounds. FREE WEIGHT PRECAUTIONS Due to the unrestricted movement allowed when lifting free weights, there is potential for injury. It is important to always follow simple safety characteristics when lifting to avoid potentially dangerous situations. 1) LOAD BARS PROPERLY: Basically, load the ends of the bars evenly. Do not put uneven amounts of weights on the ends of the bars. 2) LOCK BARBELLS AND DUMBBELLS: Use the locks (wire clips) to hold the weights in place. Plates that are not in secured could easily slide off the bar and land on feet or other body parts. The sudden shifting of weight could also cause muscle injury. 3) AVOID BACKING INTO OTHERS: Any untimely bump can cause someone to lose control of the bar or dumbbell that is being held overhead. Use caution as you move around the weight room. 4) BE AWARE OF EXTENDED BARS: Extended bars are those that overhang or extend from a machine. (barbells on racks, squat racks, uprights like the bench press, tricep/lat pull downs, etc). Be especially cautious around people that are performing overhead lifts. Head or facial injuries are most common here. 5) STORE EQUIPMENT PROPERLY: Everything has it s place!! Rack all plates and dumbbells at the end of your lifting. Don t leave them on the bars for someone else to put away. Equipment left unattended/ laying around are easily tripped over. 6) USING WEIGHT BELT: You should wear a belt when doing exercises that put stress on the back and involve maximum or near maximum loads. A belt by itself will not protect you against injury only good technique will. 7) WARM UP AND COOL DOWN: It is important to warm up properly before any physical activity. Jogging followed by a stretching routine will help warm up your muscles, increase blood flow to muscles, and help improve your flexibility. Warm up exercises help your muscles contract and relax more efficiently. You should hold each stretching position for 6-10 seconds. The routine may be repeated 2-3 times if you wish.

2 Our weight room has both free weights and plate loaded machines. It is important that you are aware of the proper technique as well as the purpose of each exercise that you chose to perform. Following is a break down of the different machines and free weights that are available in our weight room. They have been listed primarily as upper body or lower body exercises. Not all exercises are listed. Only the basics have been covered here. It is important to know that there are many options available to you and a variety of exercises You can do to keep your routines fresh. Always keep these simple things in mind: Wear weight belts! Be sure to use clips and load weights properly! Put all weights away when you are finished with them. School appropriate music. Volume knob at high noon. Anything the instructor deems inappropriate will be taken and not returned

3 UPPER BODY EXERCISES: Shoulder press: 1. In a seated position with your feet firmly planted on the floor, grasp handles w/ both hands, palms facing forward. Keep your back straight and your head up. 2. Execution of the shoulder press In a controlled fashion, press the handles simultaneously upwards to the overhead position.. Do not arch the back.

Grip the handles overhead with your arms at full extension; 5. Execution of the lat machine pull down In a controlled fashion, pull the handles down until they are to the side of the chest area. Pause. 6. Slowly bring the handles back to the starting position until your arms are straight. 7. Breathing: Inhale up; Exhale down. 8. Primary muscles: Back This is the Multi-cable Machine. It uses cables and pulleys and adjustable weights. Many of the free weight exercises can be performed on this machine also.

5 Bench Press BENCH PRESS: using an overhand grip with hands at least shoulder width apart. Body should have four points of contact: head, shoulders, buttocks on the bench feet straddle bench touching floor. Push to straighten elbow position over chest, keeping wrists directly above elbows throughout exercise. Breathing: Inhale while bring bar down in a slow, controlled movement. Bar touches chest near nipples, pause. Exhale during upward press. Pause at straight-elbow position Primary muscles: Chest Spotting: Spotters knees should be slightly flexed. He will assist with bar off the support rack and help guide bar to straight elbow position. Spotter s are inside lifter s hands on the bar. He should closely follow the downward movement of the bar and assist only when necessary. On the upward movement, watch for uneven arm extension and also for bar stopping or moving toward lifter s face. Spotter should help only when needed. Always assist in keeping the bar level. Incline Press: 1. Lie back on an incline bench (35 to 45 degrees) with your feet firmly planted on the floor. Your back should be pressed firmly against the padding. 2. Grip the barbell with your thumbs roughly 3 feet apart. Make sure that the grip is balanced between both sides of your body. Lift the bar from the rack. 3. Take the barbell from the rack and lock your elbows at the top position. Keeping the arms away from the body, lower the barbell to the upper chest area slowly and controlled. 4. Lightly touch the upper chest area and push the weight back up in a controlled manner to the starting position. Try and keep your eyes on the barbell at all times as this will help out with balancing the weight and movement. Keep the movement fluent, slow, and controlled. Spotter: Spotter is positioned to help lift bar off rack if needed and also to help return bar to rack if needed. Spotter should also be available to help keep bar even as lifter presses. Again, spotter should help only if lifter is having difficult

6 Bicep Curl: (Standing shown with curl bar and alternating w/ dumb bells). 1. In a standing position, keep you feet about 18" apart. Your back should be straight and your head level. 2.

7 Tricep Dumbbell extension: AKA Skull Crusher! 1. Hold a single dumbbell behind your back. 2. Hold the dumbbell with your upper arms as close to your ears as possible. 3. Raise and lower the weight, while keeping your upper arms vertical. This is called the skull crusher also for a good reason! Use common sense when choosing the amount of weight you are using! Tricep Dips Tricep dips are another option for the triceps. Start by holding yourself up on the bar, then dip, lowering yourself by bending your arms, elbows slightly out to the side. Lower until the biceps almost touch the forearms. Pause, then press back to arm s length with elbows locked. Be careful not to swing your body. Inhale down, exhale up.

Exhale up; Inhale down. Spotters: Spotter stands behind and has hands near lifter s elbows to help guide or keep aligned. Lat press: This lift works the LATS (back muscles). This LAT PRESS is similar to the military press with the exception being the motion is with the bar behind the head. The lifter lowers the bar behind his head to about the nape of his neck. His feet are firmly on the floor, his head is up, and his back remains straight. Exhale up, Inhale down. The spotter is available to help lift the bar on and off the rack.

9 LOWER BODY LIFTS: Calf Raises: 1. Standing upright, place your toes on the platform. Ensure that you are on the balls of your feet at the edge of the platform. 2.
