"5 Key Strategies For Maximizing Muscle Activation When Lifting Weights"

If Your Looking To Maximize How Much Your Muscles Are Working When Lifting weights, Follow These Guidelines For Top Results:

Quadriceps
I Recommend squats. Given the multijoint movement of the quadriceps muscles, squats are the best exercise for them. You can use whatever leg position, stance width and squat depth are right for their bodies, since all are equally effective.

Gluteus Maximus
Again, I recommend squats. Use a wide stance and squat until your thighs are past being parallel to the floor. (The study that yielded this recommendation did not address knee safety angle. Always consider your safety first while performing these exercises.)

Chest
Bench Press: I advise you to use a grip nearly double your shoulder width.
Push- Up: I suggest a narrow hand position with the hands together under the center of the sternum, forming a diamond shape between thumbs and index fingers.

Upper Back
I recommend the seated row machine. All major muscles of the upper back-trapezius, rhomboids and latissmus dorsi-are more active during seated rows

Abdominals
Do Crunches on a stability ball with the lower back on the ball and the upper body lifted off the ball.

Enjoy these 5 key strategies and have a healthy and happy day!
