Begin classes
Every year more and more people are attached to physical culture. Some people
do morning exercises or run and get a charge of vivacity for the whole day, others
wanting to increase strength and get a nice athletic shape, take up the dumbbells,
expander, dumbbell or barbell. Exercises with free weights - an effective tool in
the fight for the harmonious development that has stood the test of time.
Now there is probably no sport in which athletes would not resort to exercises with
weights to achieve high results. But these exercises can be recommended to
anyone who is committed to improving the overall physical development, who
wants to be strong, resilient and healthy. Classes are from weight training
improves the functioning of internal organs, enhance blood circulation and
metabolism, they can be used to eliminate defects in the physical development -
round shoulders, bad posture, strengthen bones and ligaments, underdeveloped
muscles, etc.
Regular training with weights develop the ability to stretch and relax muscles,
which is very important in sports, and when performing any physical work.
Getting to self-employment, it must be remembered that long-term performance

of intense exercise poses a great burden, which is an incorrect application of its
potential to cause serious harm to the body. Therefore, first of all should be
examined by a doctor, consult with experts and carefully examine the
methodology of sports training in literature. Later during the training you need to
self-control, noting the heart rate, respiration and weight. mood, sleep, appetite,
performance, mood, etc. And, writing this blog, do not forget to regularly appear
in the medical office.
Do best in the outdoors or in well-ventilated room. Clothing should be light and

not to interfere with the movements. After the class, be sure to take a shower and
wipe dry with a towel.
You can engage in the afternoon or evening, but no sooner than two hours after
meals. In the morning exercises can include more than light exercise and
alternate them with non-weight bearing exercises.
It must be remembered that the weight of dumbbells, weights, number of springs

in the expanders, the thickness of the rubber bands, as well as the number of
repetitions of each exercise should be appropriate for the age and strength of
dealing with. Performing the exercises, follow the well-being, if the indicated
dosage for you is difficult, reduce the number of repetitions or the weight of
burdens. Gradual increase in load - the basic principle for exercise. Let not
confuse young people a small initial weight of burdens with which they begin to
deal with - only a gradual increase in workload yields positive results. The
principle of a gradual increase in load known in ancient times. Olympic champion
Milon Croton (VI century BC. Er.) Develops his strength, daily picking up and

carrying on the shoulders of the calf. The calf grew, until it turned into a bull grew
and the strength athlete.
Russian professional athlete Alexander Zass (Samson) in notes about the system
of physical development, wrote that you can not force the burdening weight gain.
The young man left for 30 or more years in order to increase their physical
strength. He believed that systematic physical exercises (mainly with weights)
and the correct mode of work and rest will help preserve working capacity and
effect until a ripe old age. Sam Samson 60 years he worked in a circus at age 70,
wore his on stage at a special yoke two lions broke horseshoe, ripping chain.
The strongest man of his time, Georg Gakkenshmidt - "Russian Lion", he said that
to increase the load in the exercises to gradually, in training, as well as in life, to
avoid excesses. Gakkenshmidt abide scrupulously by the rules all my life until age
ninety distinguished by great physical strength.
The famous Russian athlete and wrestler Peter Krylov ("King of the weights) of
weight training wrote:" In recent years, among the amateurs, with whom I have
met, dominated by the desire to train exclusively on the record. This - the wrong
system and, moreover, hurtful. These records are tortuous. They not only failed to
prove force, but wear out a man. First, develop your muscles until you get their
greatest development through training, and only then can without harm to "work"
and for the record. I am now 43 years old, and I feel no less than a 25 year old
weightlifter. Musculature of my not deteriorated in quality and not diminished in
volume. This - the result of a rational exercise. And now that their very careful and
sustained system of training I owe the fact that the retained strength and muscle,
although I had a circus athlete former times sometimes speak several times a day
with a very heavy weight and is doing the most difficult tricks. "
Regular physical exercise and stronger dosages necessarily bring positive results,
forcing the same loads and lessons from case to case, not only will bring to
naught in shape, but may adversely affect health. Should cite the words of our
illustrious hero, Olympic champion Yuri Vlasov, who says: "Do not run itself! Let
the young workouts, but keep in order. Remember a simple truth: the restoration
is more difficult to maintain form. Sometimes a recovery becomes practical and
possible. Always update a training! "
Never place a task by any means to increase muscle mass, as preached

bodybuilders, Yuri Vlasov said: "Not all are aware that they do not value and
determine the abundance of muscle strength athlete. Ahead of someone who
knows how to train and who undo the internal systems of the body, but it all adds
up and what is called the natural data, or talent. Incorrectly perceive the state of
internal systems as something fixed once and for all the folded nature. These
systems are also excellent exercise. The quality of muscle tissue, I suppose,
depends directly on the stock of the nervous system and tone of the internal
systems. Hence the conclusion: powerful muscles is not necessarily large and
heavy. "

Aimed with the help of physical exercises to improve health and achieve a
beautiful physique, it is important to have at least a general notion of human
muscular system, to know what functions are performed by some or other
muscles and how to develop them. It is known that muscles are of two types:
smooth, that line the walls of internal organs, blood vessels, skin, and skeletal. We
train the skeletal muscles.
Muscles consists of striated muscle fibers, their number determines the strength
of muscles. Fibers together in bundles and surrounded by connective tissue, which
moves in the tendon. With the help of tendons attach muscles to bones.
We must start with exercises that affect large groups of muscles, and then pull the
underachiever.

EXERCISES TO DEVELOP STRENGTH AND
MOBILITY OF FINGERS
From an early age and until the ripe old age of our hands are constantly in use.
Naturally, they get tired. However, when performing the same work they do not
get tired at all in the same degree. First-grader, for example, displays the sticks or
the first letters slowly, and can continuously work no more than an hour, and the
student usually writes very quickly, and without tiring the arm, working 5-6 hours
at a time. The more the hand is trained, the less she gets tired. Systematic work
develops finger strength, their agility and endurance. Especially need strong

For the curious
Many enthusiasts athletic gymnastics is not limited to modern recommendations

and physical exercises, they turn to the history of athleticism and familiar with the
popular in their time of physical development of systems known athletes
beginning of this century.
For them, we report the most popular in their time of physical development.
Strong-willed GYMNASTICS ANOKHIN
At the beginning of XX century, has gained great fame system of physical

development of the Russian athlete Dr. A. Anokhin (alias B. Ross). Book describing
the system Anokhin withstood seven editions in his lifetime, even far from the
sports magazine "Niva" in 1909 published her completely, calling the "best room
in gymnastics." The principles used in their training, many Russian athletes of the
past. As is known, the system worked Anokhin Civil War hero GI Kotovsky. This
system is notable for the fact that for exercise did not require special sports
equipment and special facilities. Author of numerous articles on health and
physical development, Anokhin a new principle came to exercise. He believed that
no new movements, they did not invent, we can only talk about this or that
principle of their execution.
Its system Anokhin called "new system", and she later became known as
"volitional exercises. Its principle lies in the fact that performing the exercises
without charges (that is, without dumbbells , Expander, weights and other
projectiles), we must consciously exert appropriate muscles, mimicking the
overcoming of a resistance. Anokhin system has not lost its relevance today. His
exercises provide an opportunity to not only increase strength, but also to achieve
the ability to strain and relax individual muscle groups, which is very important in
sports and any physical work. Ability to control the muscles attached great
importance to professional athletes of the past. Often in their speeches, they
included the "posturing" during which the rays of searchlights take poses of
ancient sculptures discus thrower, Hercules. Demonstrated they are "playing
muscles, reducing and relaxing certain muscle groups. Excellent knowledge of his
muscled Peter Krylov, Georg Lurih, Georg-Gak kenshmidt, Konstantin Stepanov.
Familiarity with the system Anokhin, we start with the recommendations of the
author. First, he says: "volitional exercises will not make you Poddub-nym or
Gakkenshmidtom. She will not give you biceps to 45 inches possible go Squeeze
7.6 pounds with one hand, but will significantly enhance health. Give the beauty
of forms and shapes and that the normal force for each of which is lost by modern
man. "
Then Anokhin leads 8 main principles to be followed by the mastery of his

81 of 113
technique. These principles are:
1. Should focus attention on the working muscle or muscle group.
2. Do not hurry with the number of exercises and their dosages.
3. Performing the exercises, follow the right breathing.
4. Each movement is performed with the greatest muscle tension.
5. To ensure that when doing the exercises just strained the muscles that are
involved in this movement.
6. Desirable to perform exercises in front of a mirror.
7. After exercise to take a shower, and then vigorously rub the body with a
towel.

relief of muscular, preferred vegetarian food.

Exercise SAMOSOPROTIVLENIE (Instead of
burdens - the resistance of muscles)
At the beginning of this century amateur athletics were very popular exercises
samosoprotivlenie. In their effect on the muscles they are similar to exercises with
weights, with the only difference being that the role of the latter are themselves
muscles.
For example, if the exercises with weights for the development of biceps brachii
(biceps), you need to take a dumbbell or a weight, and bend the arm at the elbow,
then in this case impose a palm on his hand and, bending his arm at the elbow,
have the other hand, conceding the resistance.
Exercises on samosoprotivlenie found in books G. Schmidt hack "Path to the

power and health", J. Muller, "My System", E. It-tmana "gymnastic exercises in the
room", which were published at the beginning of the century.
Similar exercises are used in their training, many athletes and wrestlers of the
past. Writes in his memoirs, Russian athlete Alexander Zass (Samson): "When due
to circumstances I could not do exercises with weights, then do exercises on
samosoprotivlenie that are not only well-maintained my physical shape, but also
well developed muscle strength .
As in exercises with free weights ( dumbbells , expanders , dumbbells), in

exercises on samosoprotivlenie must be maintained over the principle of gradual
increase in load, ie the number of repetitions of the exercises and the degree of
tension should be increased gradually.
As the fitness should increase the number of repetitions of each exercise from 5 to
15, and the degree of tension from light to maximum, and, approaching the
maximum voltage, the first 2-3 movements are performed half-heartedly. Number
of approaches also increased from one to five. During exercise should only tighten
the muscles that are involved in the movement to them and to concentrate all the
attention. After performing each exercise, take a break, during which time try,
shaking, kneading and stroking, to relax those muscles, which accounted for the
largest load.
Exercises on samosoprotivlenie can include, in addition to the complex morning

exercises or take time for them during the day.

SYSTEM MULLER
Very popular in the beginning of the century enjoyed a system of physical
development Dane IP Muller. He himself was an excellent versatile athlete, a
multiple record holder and champion in Denmark for several sports. Having tried
to imagine different systems of physical development, including a set of exercises
with dumbbells, athlete Eugene Sandovo , Mueller still preferred the non-weight
bearing exercises, of which the complex, which was published in 1904 titled "My
System" ("15 minutes of daily work health "). This book has been translated into
many languages, including the Russian, and immediately won enormous
popularity. Muller's fascination with the system is reflected in the poems of
Mayakovsky. In the poem "Love" has such lines:
... Old age herself.
Woman greasy.
Man Muller mill waving.
Over time, Muller has published several other works: "My system for children",
"My system for ladies ',' My system for the Army and Navy." In 1925, in Russian
book "5 minutes a day."
At the invitation of the Society of People's University in March 1911 Mueller visited
Russia several times and played in the capitals, Moscow and Petrograd, the busy
gatherings, showing a correct execution of exercises, "my system". In Moscow,
speaking at the Polytechnical Museum in front of a crowded audience, after which
he was presented with a thanksgiving address, covered with hundreds of
signatures.
Some of the recommendations and exercise system Mueller did not am-286
tili its relevance to the present day. Advocating the need for physical exercises,
Muller believed that there are no miracle cures, magic or secret means, giving to
human health. Crux of the matter is not some magic bullet, but a healthy lifestyle.
"My system contributes to the three main goals: stabilizing functions of the skin,
strengthening the lungs, the digestive processes of normalization," - wrote to
Mueller. Muller believed that "life force" is concentrated not in the arm muscles. In
his opinion, far more important to have a healthy internal organs than strong
muscles.
Muller system consists of 8 exercises of increasing difficulty. Then we recommend

a shower or bath followed by a thorough body rub with a towel, followed by 10
exercises to perform self-massage. When we first started stroking massage is
carried out, and further applying pressure on the hands massaged areas. Muller
believed that a very useful and even necessary for the health of every day a little

95 of 113
sweat, which is achieved by exercise and running, but, of course, after this
necessary water treatment. Of great importance he attached to the run,
considering it the best way to promote and maintain health. He constantly
promoted the quenching. All exercises are recommended prodelyvat outdoors,
and if in a room with the windows open. Incidentally, in his opinion, need to sleep
with the windows open.
"Enjoy the fresh air and clean water, do not avoid the sun and do not miss a single
day, to set in motion every muscle, every organ of the body, at least for a short
time. In this case, as in all things in nature, stagnation is abnormal and implies the

Dynamic and Isometric exercises SAMSON
FOUNTAIN
The cornerstone of the physical development of Samson is the development of
strength of tendons - a link between bones and muscles. Epigraph to his system
can serve as a signature under the photograph, where Samson is on his horse:
"The muscles themselves do not raise a horse, but the tendon will raise, but they
need to train, they need to develop, and how to increase their strength there."
The system of Samson is a combination of dynamic exercises with isometric.
Dynamic exercises
For the exercises used burdening - bag (in the form of pillows), which can be made
of leatherette, oilcloth, leather and so on bag filled with sawdust, which, as the
fitness gradually being replaced by sand, and subsequently shot. After two weeks
of classes with an initial weight of 4-7 kg from a bag take out a handful of sawdust
and replace a handful of sand. Subsequently, this change is made every 3-4 days.
No need to hurry with weight gain weight bearing. The focus on exercise is half
the success. Exercises should be done morning and evening daily.
After each exercise needs to be done a few breathing exercises with relaxation of
the muscles, which accounted for the largest load. Breathing exercises are done
from the original standing position, heels together, toes apart, arms along the
body: a) making a deep breath, raise your hands through the sides to a position
slightly above shoulder level while taking up on your toes. Return to starting
position - exhale, and b) the original position - the same. Making a deep breath,
raise your arms forward (palms inward) and diluted in hand. Return to starting
position - exhale.
When performing exercises with a bag of special attention should be paid to the
formulation of proper breathing. Breath must coincide with the most favorable
conditions for expansion of the chest and at the least expenditure of effort in
doing the exercises. Such conditions are created when erect housing and
breeding, or lifting the hands.
Exhalation the most favorable position is bending the body, reducing or lowering
the hands.
The pace of movements in the exercises at first to be slow, and as fitness -

average.
It should be said that this initial stage of training, further training takes place on
individual schemes which are recommended Samson.

1. Bag on the floor near the socks.
Lean, slightly bent legs, and lift the

shoulder height. Squeeze bag to
straight arm, rotate it twice to the left
and right. Return to starting position.
Repeat until tired working muscle
groups. Then do the exercise with your
other hand. After some time in this
exercise is to changes (mainly for the
development of fingers). After lifting
the weight bearing on the straight arm
start to move each finger individually,
as if you are trying to raise the bag is
even higher. Run to fatigue the
working muscles.

Isometric exercise
Twenty-five years ago, the use of isometric exercises, created a sensation in the
sports world. Many athletes, including in training, these exercises are to improve
the results. Numerous experiments are still going on. isometry - not a novelty in
recent years. Already at the beginning of our century, the Russian professional
athlete Alexander Zass (Samson) included isometric exercises in the workout, but
in the twenties, has promoted its original system of static exercises with chains, to
which came empirically. Samson said: "We must develop what lies at the heart
muscle, especially the tendons, rather than the surface mass, volume." Samson
thought that the development of this athletic power to raise poods iron is not
enough. Need to add something else. If, for example, to try to bend the thick
metal, rod, or break the chain, these seemingly futile efforts under repeated will
be very effective for developing strength of tendons and muscle strength. This is
an example of isometric exercises in which muscles tense though, but their length
does not change and there is no motion in joints. The duration of isometric
exercises depends on the degree of muscular tension. The maximum muscle

108 of 113
tension should last 2-3 seconds. As the fitness it can bring up to 6 seconds. Each
exercise should be repeated 2-5 times. Training should not exceed 15 minutes.
Including isometric exercises in the workout, remember: the power gained by this
method, the maximum appears only in the torso, arms and legs, in which she
"was elaborated. Before starting the exercise should do a thorough workout
mainly for muscles and joints, which would account for the largest load.
Otherwise, possible injury. At first, exercises to perform with minimal stress, and
only after a month of training you can go to maximum effort. Maximum force is
applied is not a jerk, but with a gradually rising voltage. Exercises are done on
inspiration. After performing each exercise minute walk around, do breathing
exercises relax the muscles, which was sent to the maximum load. Isometric
exercises will give good results if you combine them with dynamic exercises with
weights, dumbbells , expanders . And in conjunction with jogging, swimming,
tempering procedures they will help improve health and increase efficiency.
People with weakened cardiovascular system with hypertension and having

excess weight, isometric exercises are contraindicated.
Do the exercises you can use different shells - a metal rod, chain, wooden sticks, a
thick cord. You can perform isometric exercises, and without any devices. For
example, you press the palm to the palm of your chest or trying to stretch a hand
clasped to his chest. Samson, for example, used metal rods and chains. He was
attached to the chains, metal handle of a triangular shape with a hook, if
necessary peretseplyal, lengthening or shortening the interval of the chain.
Initially, the chain must be tight.

handle circuit in direct hand in his left
knee, the other - in the bent at the
elbow, right hand at his waist. Stretch
the chain. Repeat with the change of
the original provision.
6. Attach one end of the chain the

hook in the wall at waist level, and
another pick in hand. Put feet wider
than shoulders. Pull the chain, trying
to wrest the hook from the wall.

fixed hook in the floor, attach the
other end of the handle and grasp it at
the knees. Straining the muscles of
the legs , back and arms, trying to tear
