"Make a base!" - can often be heard in almost every gym. However, with the popularization of fitness in the domestic space, it has become possible very often to meet trainers who claim that if you are a beginner in iron sports, then for the first time you will have to forget about the barbell with dumbbells. Nowadays, there is a popular opinion that beginners should start training on simulators.
According to the opinions of many trainers of fitness clubs, it is simulators that are a means that allows you to both pump up muscles, as well as save ligaments and joints. Such an opinion should not be harshly criticized, because, as you know, most athletes were injured precisely when working with such sports equipment as a barbell. Many hernias and protrusions are due to the same barbell squat, deadlift, or bent over row.
According to sports doctors, training for a barbell, which is an integral attribute of bodybuilding, through training on simulators is a safer and more convenient way.
The main advantage of working on simulators is a fixed trajectory of execution, which protects ligaments and joints from injury. In addition, when working in the simulator, we turn on the muscle in isolation, that is, the load is not applied to any other muscles. Working with free weights requires a higher intensity.
In addition, for beginners, another task is added here - not only to squeeze, pull or sit down, but also how to properly hold the bar in the correct position, how to observe the correct technique. At this stage, many simply give up when they cannot grasp the same correct squat or deadlift technique. It is at such moments that the greatest concentration, patience, sensitivity and attentiveness are required!
Based on all of the above, we can conclude that before starting exercises with a barbell, you need to "heat up" your body, strengthen the muscle corset, in which simulators will perfectly help beginners!
