Types of breathing Abdominal (diaphragmatic) / low respiration It is the most important, efficient and healthy, because it is the natural one; it mostly involves the diaphragm, which in this type of breathing is responsible for 70% of the respiratory volume.

Stall in bib growth? Perhaps it is the case to abandon the flat bench!

By Dr. Filippo Casini Often when we talk about the gym, a little at all latitudes, the first thing that comes to mind is a rather muscular guy lying on a bench that lifts a barbell very loaded with cast iron with ease, getting up at the end of the series with a chest that almost explodes ... Unfortunately, in reality, the pectoral muscles often find it difficult to grow, partly because it is not easy to establish a good muscle-mind connection, as it is rather easy to train the arms, especially in the mirror, watching the muscle contract, and a little because the flat bench in most cases is not

Does the squat train the legs?

Edited by: Francesco Currò The title is a bit provocative, but it is not entirely meaningless. No, I'm not one of those presumed coaches derived from Powerlifter more than from Body-builder, who tears his clothes in favor of Squat1.

But let's see if the squat can be an exercise within everyone's reach or we need to make some considerations before offering it to our customers. We start from the support of the barbell on the upper part of the trapezoids, we can immediately notice that to correctly position the barbell and not do too much "effort" in keeping it in the correct position it is necessary to have a good elasticity at the level of the internal rotators of t
