The arm strength device is a kind of exercise equipment, which is mainly used to exercise arm muscles, including arm strength and chest muscles, and can also assist in exercising wrist strength. The use of the arm strength device requires certain skills and precautions to ensure safety and effectiveness. Today, I will teach you how to choose an arm strength machine!
1. Common classification of arm strength devices
1. Style classification
Before choosing an arm strength machine, let's first understand what are the common styles of arm strength machines:
(1) Hydraulic arm force
The hydraulic arm force uses the hydraulic principle to provide resistance, which is more stable and safe than the spring arm force. Hydraulic arm force devices usually have adjustable resistance that can be adjusted according to the individual's power level, and some hydraulic arm force machines will also add a counting module to record the number of completions when used by the user.
(2) Spring arm force
A spring arm force, also known as an arm bar, is a type of fitness equipment that is primarily used to train muscles in the arms, chest, shoulders, and abdomen. It is shaped like a stick and has handles at both ends with a powerful spring attached in the middle.
(3) Multi-functional type
A kind of multi-functional sports equipment, the shape is U-shaped, similar to the arm force bar, there are strong springs in the middle, there are a variety of ways to use, in addition to exercising arm muscles, but also to exercise chest muscles, biceps, back muscles, leg muscles and other muscles.
2. Shape difference
In addition to the differences in style, there are usually some differences in the shape of the arm strength device, which we will also talk about today.
(1) Straight rod type
A straight rod arm force is a type of arm force device that is characterized by a straight rod shape that usually has no bent or folded parts. This design makes the straight rod arm force more stable when used and is not prone to shaking or offset. In addition, straight bar arm strengtheners also typically have a higher weight capacity, making them suitable for higher intensity workouts.
(2) Wavy
The wavy arm force is characterized by the wavy shape of the spring part. This design not only makes the arm strength machine look more aesthetically pleasing, but also increases the elasticity and resistance of the spring, making the exercise more effective.
(3) Inverted V-shaped
An inverted V-arm force is a specially designed arm force device with an inverted V shape, also known as a "V-arm force" or "reverse V-arm force". This design allows the arm strength machine to better target specific muscle groups, such as shoulder, back, and arm muscles.
(4) U-shaped
The shape of the U-shaped arm force device is U-shaped, and it is also known as the "U-shaped spring arm force" or "U-shaped tension device". The U-arm strength device is designed so that it can work multiple muscle groups at the same time, including the arms, chest, back, and shoulder muscles.
Second, the arm strength device purchase skills
1. Look at the exercise
There are different resistance levels of arm strengtheners, so you need to choose the right resistance according to your physical condition and exercise goals. If you're a beginner or have less strength, you can choose an arm strength device with less resistance, and gradually get used to it before increasing the resistance. If you already have a certain foundation of exercise, you can choose an arm strength machine with higher resistance to better challenge yourself.
2. Look at the adjustment function
The adjustable arm strength device allows users to adjust the size or length of resistance to suit their strength level and workout needs. This flexibility allows the adjustable arm strength device to be suitable for a wide range of people, meeting a wider range of workout needs. Non-adjustable arm strengths, on the other hand, have a fixed resistance or length that cannot be adjusted by the user. As a result, non-adjustable arm strength devices may only be suitable for certain groups of people or certain stages of exercise.
3. Look at the quality
When buying an arm strengthener, carefully check its quality. Check whether the spring of the arm force device is firm and free of rust, whether the handle is comfortable and free of loosening, and whether the connection part is firm. At the same time, you can also try to stretch the arm force to feel whether its elasticity and resistance are uniform and smooth.
4. Look at the counting function
Countable arm strength devices are usually equipped with electronic counters, which can automatically record the number of times the user has completed, time, calories burned and other data, so that users can more easily understand their workouts, usually higher. The uncountable arm force device does not have an electronic counter, and the user needs to count and time it by himself, which is usually lower, simpler in structure, and more durable.
5. Look at the grip material
Common grip materials include PVC, plastic, rubber, and metal. PVC plastic grips are a common choice due to their non-slip, lightweight, and durable features. The rubber grip provides a better grip and friction for those who sweat easily. Metal handles are more durable, but they can be heavier and have good thermal conductivity, so care needs to be taken to avoid burns when using them.
3. Key knowledge
Here are some tips for using the arm strength:
1. Preparation
Before use, check whether the connecting parts of the arm force device are firm and there is no loosening. At the same time, tie the harness cord on the handle of the arm strength device to your wrist for safety.
2. Correct posture
With your feet shoulder-width apart, hold (or reverse) the ends of the arm force with both hands, sink your shoulders, keep your wrists neutral, and don't hook your wrists.
3. Action essentials
Bend the spring or hydraulic part firmly, then relax slowly, taking care to move at a constant speed and avoid using explosive force. At the same time, be careful to maintain breathing coordination and do not hold your breath.
4. Increase the difficulty
For beginners, you can start with less resistance or weight and gradually increase the difficulty. At the same time, you can also try different exercises, such as one-handed exercises, standing or sitting exercises, etc.
5. Exercise moderately
Exercise in moderation and for a moderate amount of time, and don't overdo it to avoid muscle fatigue or injury. It is advisable to rest and relax your muscles properly after each workout.
