4. Cable flys
Cable flying is used to enhance the body’s pushing muscles, including head, triceps, and shoulders. If you want to beef up your chest muscle mass, this workout must be included in your exercise regime.
Mistakes:
- People often tend to go too far back with their arms and thus increase the risk of hyperextending and injuring the shoulder. You should stop in line with your neck as you lower your weight.
- The mistake of a very typical beginner is to perform the exercise with locked elbows. It puts a lot of pressure on the elbows and also reduces the amount of tension on the chest.
5. Bent over barbell row
Bent over barbell rows is an effective weight training movement targeted at a variety of back muscles depending on which of the many ways you have chosen to do. This exercise works both to increase strength and to increase size.
Mistakes:
- Bending the spine outwards is a very common mistake while doing this exercise. Instead, to maintain the natural lumbar curve, you should push back your shoulder blades and fold down your spine.
- Another common mistake people make is to use your hands to pull the barbell up when you should use your elbows instead to pull the weight up.
6. Cable tricep extensions
Through stretching your arms in front of you, the cable tricep extension exercise works the tricep muscles. If you want to have triceps sculpted, this movement is fantastic. But doing it wrongly can waste the time and cause injury as well.
Mistakes:
- Many people do not lock their elbows in place when doing this exercise, as a result, they end up engaging their lats, making this exercise much less successful for the triceps.
- The error we also see is that during this workout, people keep their body upright. Instead, to get the full range of motion, you should bend slightly forward so that your triceps are properly worked out.
