Exercise machines for breasts are most often used at home: reducing body fat, developing muscles, preventing cardiovascular diseases and more. Let's try to understand the main nuances related to the purchase and use of this kind of sports equipment.
First you need to decide on the goals that you want to achieve by purchasing chest simulators. That is, does the purchase make sense, or is it better to take highly specialized equipment.
Replacing basic exercises
Most "home" athletes are afraid or even unable to perform basic racks with a barbell. In this case, chest trainers are a great alternative. This is especially true for elderly athletes, beginners in sports, solo classes without insurance, as well as for those who are rehabilitated after injuries or operations.
Point chest load
Almost all types of physical activity in one way or another affect the muscles of the chest, so chest exercises on the simulator can provide a clearly noticeable increase in strength indicators. This goal, in addition to muscle mass, also increases the volume of the chest.
Aesthetics
With the help of such sports equipment, you can work out a specific muscle group, while basic exercises exclude such accentuation, that is, do not shoot sparrows from the cannon. This goal very often confronts experienced athletes who want to correct specific shortcomings in building their muscles. Women set similar goals for themselves, developing only the muscle group that they want to develop.
It is also worth noting that good chest simulators can be suitable for fulfilling two or three goals at once, so the choice must be approached with the utmost seriousness and awareness.
Types of simulators
This kind of sports equipment can be divided according to two signs - the type of load and the exercise performed. The load simulator can be stacked and loaded with disks. The first type has a set of standard weights, which allows the athlete to choose the weight he needs before proceeding with the exercises. Stacks are great for use at home, as well as for beginners and people undergoing post-traumatic or postoperative rehabilitation.
Disc sports equipment is the choice of experienced athletes and athletes who are accustomed to a diverse and heavy weight. Most often, such simulators can be seen in gyms, fitness clubs and other specialized sports facilities.
Exercises and types of chest simulators
Depending on what kind of exercise you need to perform, the following types of simulators can be distinguished:
- Chest press on the simulator. One of the most popular exercises for beginners and for those who recover from an injury or surgery.
- Bench press. This is a fairly large and diverse group of simulators, effectively working for the aesthetic development of muscle mass. The group differs in height, width, trajectory and slope.
- Army bench press (from the shoulders). The development of the upper chest and deltoid muscles.
- Butterfly. Quite a popular fitness group and mainly aimed at the aesthetics of the body. You can perform the exercise in different ways (trajectory, grip, etc.), changing, where necessary, power accents.
- Crossover This kind of equipment allows you to perform unique exercises due to the free trajectory of traction. The simulator provides an accentuated load on the muscles and allows "explosive" work. This is a great alternative to basic exercises with free weight, like breeding dumbbells.
- Pullover. An extremely popular exercise among experienced athletes. It has a point load on the muscles of the back and chest.
- Thrust to the chest (rowing). In addition to the pectoral muscles, there is a development of the back and arms. An excellent general developmental exercise that can be recommended to literally everyone.
- Multifunction fitness equipment. Inventory of this kind is universal and incorporates, as a rule, rowing traction and butterfly stroke. Exercises are perfect for beginner athletes and for the aesthetic development of the body. Many marketers have given the name to such a sports equipment as a "breast enlargement simulator."
Reviews about simulators vary widely: beginners like “bench press” equipment and multifunctional equipment, while professional athletes prefer a highly specialized orientation and, apart from a pullover with a crossover, do not take anything seriously, considering the rest as an amateur perversion. But in any case, you need to choose equipment for specific needs and tasks, so for each athlete the simulator will be his own.
Simulator placement
Simulators of this kind are placed in a small room, since most models have a compact design. The only exceptions are crossovers, which due to their design features require large areas.
Multistations are a great choice for homework. With a relatively small footprint, they have very good returns along with good functionality. In general, it is more reasonable for a house to choose not highly specialized equipment, but something universal, that is, giving an extensive load: bench presses, traction, rowing, etc.
It is also worth noting that simulators with free weights (disk storage) require additional space, so they are less relevant for the home, unlike stack ones.
Male and female exercise machines
The difference in inventory for women and men is due only to aesthetic considerations. The simulator for the female breast and figure can do without chest extension with excessive development of the arms. Specifically, for the female half, inventory with an emphasized emphasis on muscle development, such as butterfly and crossover, as well as multi-station, is perfect. Much less often used simulators with rowing traction or all kinds of bench presses.
Men can successfully use almost all types of sports equipment, without fear of excess muscle growths. The choice depends only on the goals set, but if, upon reaching it, the time of muscles has grown somewhere else, then the man will only be glad of this.
Popular home models
The top lines of popularity of home sports equipment are firmly held by small hand exercise machines. They occupy minimal space, are easy to operate and do not require any special skills. Consider the most distinguished models of such simulators.
Easy Curves
The Easy Curves chest trainer was invented by a woman and built on the principle of double resistance that occurs at the time of compression and expansion. During exercises, practically all pectoral muscles are involved, thereby contributing to the strengthening, increase and elongation of forms. And most importantly - the simulator creates a balanced load on each side of the body.
According to the assurances of the developers of Easy Curves, the inventory is able to significantly improve the work of the respiratory system with a daily five-minute lesson. After a month of use, the respiratory rhythm will become much better. This is especially useful for people who quit smoking - there is something to occupy yourself instead of a cigarette. The Easy Curves design allows you to store it under a bed or on a shelf, so it is enviable among customers, and the ease of use makes this chest simulator universal and popular. Reviews about Easy Curves are completely positive, so you can recommend it to any novice athlete or people undergoing postoperative and post-traumatic rehabilitation.
Shake Weight
The simulator copes with breast strengthening at home. Like Easy Curves, Shake Waite takes up very little space and resembles a dumbbell in appearance. The designers did a good job with the development and implementation of new technologies, thereby increasing the efficiency of the simulator (compared with a conventional dumbbell) at times.
The main feature of this simulator is the use of dynamic inertia. That is, it begins to work during shaking, which means that it is always when we exercise. The shock wave from the "Neck" makes the muscles contract at an amazing speed - up to 250 times a minute. During training, the “dumbbell" itself sets you the desired rhythm and makes it maintain during training.
According to the developers, 6 minutes a day - and your chest, shoulders and arms will become irresistible. Both beginners and professionals are very flattering about the simulator, so almost anyone can recommend it.
