Small bar. Curved neck

Antipyretics for children are prescribed by a pediatrician. But there are situations of emergency care for fever, when the child needs to give the medicine immediately. Then the parents take responsibility and apply antipyretic drugs. What is allowed to give to infants? How can you bring down the temperature in older children? Which medications are the safest?

Currently, the assortment of rods in sports stores is very diverse. Therefore, right choice  it is quite difficult. Let's try to figure out what parameters matter if we choose the bar of the rod.

The form

Not so long ago, only direct crossbeams were used, because the producers did not attach the form of determining value. The first thing they decided to change was the length of the rod bar, as many athletes needed compact shells for training in cramped conditions. Today, direct bars of various lengths are produced, designed to be used in conjunction with separate racks.

Quite high demand is the EZ-shaped bar of the bar. This shape provides the convenience of making bending movements, thanks to the placement of hands in a natural position. In the course of training with such a projectile, wrists are in anatomically correct position.

The W-shaped bar of the bar is a modified version of the previous solution. This design is distinguished by an impressive bend, which opens wide possibilities for holding the projectile with different grips. Numerous athletes note an increase in natural recoil during training with the vultures of this form.

Rod size - dimensions


The choice of parameters of the neck depends largely on the conditions in which the training will take place, the nature of the exercises, which are subject to regular implementation. The most common are the sizes of 120, 150, 180 and 220 cm. The bulk of athletes are recommended to stop at an average length. Otherwise, you can severely limit your own abilities when performing individual exercises.

The weight

Most athletes choose the heavy bar of the bar. The impressive weight of the crossbar indicates not only the quality of the product, but also its resistance to mechanical damage. In addition, the operation of a heavy neck provides additional load.

Mountings


The castles deserve special attention when choosing a fretboard. Currently, several types of fastenings for fixing the form of a nut, a smooth bushing and a spring are common.

Everything is very clear with the nuts. It is enough to put on a pancake and turn the lock. The only inconvenience is the need for twisting and screwing on the attachment, if necessary, changing the weight.

Handling spring locks is much easier. If it is necessary to fix pancakes, they are simply squeezed lightly, put on weight, and then released. However, such a fastening is not able to withstand a significant load for a long time when the rod is moved to a vertical position.

If we talk about locks in the form of a smooth bushing, the latter are instantly worn on the neck, easily fixed and contribute to the firm fixing of pancakes. As additional reinforcement elements, stop bolts or spring latches can be used here. Such decisions are often resorted to when security is needed in the organization of serious competitions.

Exercises with the bar, of course, are the best way to build muscle mass and form a beautiful, beautiful musculature. How to buy a bar bar that provides the best opportunities for effective training?

Let's start with the fact that there are the main types of vultures:direct; curved (EZ-shaped  and W-shaped);   and grips with parallel grip . In the conditions of the weightlifting hall, as a rule, various types of vultures are represented, the athlete selects the bar and weights according to the training program and the tasks assigned.

At home, it is better to buy a bar bar that best suits you, in accordance with the recommendations:

Straight bar bar   It is a universal, traditional type of fretboard that is suitable for all basic press methods, chest load, biceps and triceps. With large weights and long loads with a barbell with a straight neck, the athlete may be more tired of wrists and brushes, compared to the bench press bar. However, this is very individual.

Curved bars   allow you to take the neck as comfortable as an athlete, it does not matter, with a small or large weight. Due to the convenient angle of inclination of the curved neck in the place of grip, the wrists of the athlete are in anatomically more correct position, when the arms are at a natural angle to each other, so that the athlete can engage longer, or raise more weight.

EZ-shaped (Z-shaped) rod bar   zigzag neck. At employment with such stamp, the load on forearms, a brush, wrists decreases. Z-shaped bar is better to choose for training with an emphasis on the swing of the French press (triceps).

W-bar neck   - a variety of Z-shaped, with a modified angle of inclination of the neck. This form of the neck allows, in addition to the traditional methods of press, to increase the load on the biceps and forearms. W-shaped bar is most suitable for bench presses with a narrow grip, as well as for lifting to the biceps and pullover.

Griffon with parallel grip   It makes it possible to raise the bar with a parallel grip. This is convenient for performing exercises to strengthen the biceps, triceps and some specific types of bench press.

In general, if possible, it is better to alternate - a straight and curved neck, both the neck and the level of the load. For example, a week with a curved, a week with a straight, a week with a lighter weight, and a week with heavier, etc. If the task is to buy a neck that will be unique and unique, then before deciding on which one to choose the neck - straight or curved, it is better to consult the trainer or specialist beforehand.

Length of neck:   most bars for the bar are designed for bar lengths of 190 cm, but for teenagers, women, and with limited space, you will be better off buying a neck shorter - from 120 to 190 cm. With this length of the neck, perhaps you will use a slightly smaller weight, but you do not have to spend energy on balancing the bar at the press, and accordingly, you can better concentrate on working out the target muscles.

Do not forget also about such an important parameter as neck diameter:

Ø 25 mm ("American" size): suitable for beginners, people with a small brush and those who, due to the individual characteristics of the body, are more comfortable with this diameter of the neck, as well as for women and adolescents.

Ø 30 mm ("European" size): suitable for comfortable and effective training, for both men and women.

Ø 50 mm ("Olympic" size): most suitable for professionals, they can withstand huge weights.

Landing diameter of the hole in the discs   (pancakes), as a rule, should be 1 mm larger than the diameter of the neck so that the discs are comfortable to be worn and removed from the neck.

This bar leads some into confusion, and causing the question - bent? But this is just a feature of the neck bar, which allows you to change the type of loads. When you come to the gym for the first time, you can see a lot of "iron", not familiar, causing interest. It would seem that it is not understandable in barbells, but they are not as simple as they might seem at first.

For example, a bar with a curved neck, which occurs in any sporting club that respects itself a little bit. Bar with EZ neck, or a curved neck, a fairly popular tool for fans to pump biceps and triceps. The shape of the neck allows you to reduce the load on the brush, preventing injuries.

Which neck is better straight or curved?

Exercises with a curved neck allow you to give maximum load  on the biceps and at the same time reduce the burden on the back when lifting the maximum weight. But still, which neck is better straight or curved. This position of the hand, makes it possible to conduct exercises with maximum amplitude.

Due to irregularities in the shape of the neck, the projectile during training is safer than a bar with a straight, traditional neck. A longer length of the neck, allows you to more accurately determine the correct location of the girth, and evenly distribute the load on the biceps.

However, during training to give preference to a single shell is not worth it, sometimes it is still necessary to alternate not only the shells, but also the training program.

As a rule, preference is given to a bar with a straight bar, but do not forget about the alternative, which has a lot of advantages:

The curved neck, unlike the traditional, is much more comfortable to hold in hands, which makes it much easier to exercise. This makes it possible to "weight" the bar and take more weight.

The shape of the neck allows you to change the type of load, which in turn allows you to achieve the desired much faster.

Exercise with a barbell

The weight of the curved neck differs from the straight neck. Due to its shorter length, it is slightly lighter. And it is this that allows you to perform exercises with a curved neck, increasing the lifted weight. But this is not decisive. It is the form that provides the "best grasp".

At home, the curved neck is often used in bicep exercises. Depending on the distance of the arms, the bar is raised:

  • at the width of the shoulders;
  • narrow grip;
  • wide grip.
  These exercises allow you to focus on the entire surface, on the inner and outer head of the biceps. By varying the use of "grips" can achieve maximum effect and better quality. But regardless of the location of the maximum effect training, it is possible to achieve, only correctly, carrying out the exercises, not allowing shaking, sharp throwing up of the projectile and swinging, and at the top point of lifting it is necessary to compress the biceps for several seconds. If you have your own equipment, you can easily carry out exercises with a bar with a curved neck in the home

The most popular "pumping items" at all times were the bars.

Where does the acquisition of equipment for home training begin? With the thought of what would not hurt and podkachatsya ...

So, the idea was born and now it is necessary to translate it into reality. Decisively you walk to the store and ...

Wow! Eyes fled to the counters. A huge range of amazing imagination. All around shines and shines, on each subject the label of the eminent firm flaunts ... What to choose?

Choosing a rod for home training.

  The most popular "pumping items" at all times were the bars. Nowadays their assortment is huge and every firm tries to convince buyers in choosing their own products. But the question is that the bar has a very simple design, so it's quite difficult to introduce something new into it. Does this come from the most eminent manufacturers? Let's understand ...

There are only 4 points that should be paid attention when buying a bar: the shape of the neck

Landing diameter

Locking device

Form of the neck.

Straight neck.

At first the shape of the bar was simple. And what there can be difficult? He hung the load from the ends, took it in the middle and hit it off. No one thought about the length of the neck. They simply chose (or did themselves) the one that seemed most convenient. Although the length is the first thing that the manufacturers of sports equipment decided to change in the vultures. After all, someone could be required and miniature bars for training in a limited space. In addition, with short burdens it is not necessary to spend energy on the balancing of the projectile in space, and so you can concentrate more on the development of the target muscle. Now, of course, there are many more reasons for releasing vultures of a certain size (for example, most racks are designed for bars longer than 190 cm).

EZ-shaped neck.

Quite recently, just a couple of decades ago, it occurred to some intelligent person that the movements of flexion and extension of arms to a more natural position were brought closer. Whether his wrist was broken when he lifted his biceps, or if there were any other reasons, but as a result, the EZ bar appeared. When training with her wrists are in a more correct (anatomically) position.

Initially, it was believed that such wisdoms can increase the burden on the biceps and triceps, because the body no longer has to spend extra energy on stabilizing the wrist in an uncomfortable position. But! As always, pioneers can not take into account everything. Recently, scientists have been constantly refuting the full stimulation of the biceps with the EZ-neck. And do you know why? In the natural environment, no muscle NEVER works in isolation. Therefore, the more convenient we take the bar, the more chances are that a few more small muscles will be connected to the movement. This is what allows us to lift big weights. And scientists get the opposite results in their experiments, because even the most intelligent equipment can not register the mental concentration on the strain of a certain muscle. It turns out that those people who knowingly endure the effort on the biceps, get really almost all the load, regardless of what kind of griffins they are dealing with. You just need to understand and use it, and not wait for official confirmation.

W-shaped neck.

This is a "modified" copy of EZ. Bending in this neck is stronger, which allows you to hold the bar with a grip close to neutral. Many people note that such bars give an excellent return when doing French press and in similar exercises.

Landing diameter.

  As always, people do not do without unnecessary complexity with the standards. So all vultures can be divided into American, European and Olympic. The first landing diameter is 25 mm, in the second - 30 mm. The very name "Olympic" already speaks about the solidity and seriousness of the product, so their diameter is 50 mm (otherwise how would such huge weights hang on them?). If you already have a bar at home, then it is reasonable to buy a regular neck with the same diameter. This will save money on the purchase of additional drives.

The device of locks.

  This is the most interesting thing. Do you know how the Weider nut differs from that of Ketler? I would give a medal for attentiveness to someone who finds at least one fundamental difference.

Each company tries to make if not in the device locks, then at least in their name is something of their own. In fact, these fasteners have only three versions: smooth bushing, nut and spring.

With nuts at once everything is clear: put on the pancake, wrapped the nut. The only trouble - it bothers to constantly screw it up, then twist it. With springs it is easier. They are simply squashed slightly, put on and released. Naturally, such a design will not be able to hold the pancakes if the bar is turned vertically. Well, why should she turn around like that?

The locks made on the principle of a smooth bushing deserve special attention. They are instantly worn, fast enough to fix and provide a high level of fastening. Can be locked with a bolt, or a spring latch. The latter option is used at the Olympic competitions.

Additionally.

  There are a few other things that you should pay attention to when selecting a rod, for example, the size of the notch and the diameter of the neck.

The size of the notch.

Have you ever tried to perform heavy traction with a bar without a notch on the neck? The fear of dropping the bar fundamentally limits the maximum effort.

The secret of notching is not only in the relief surface, which is easier to hold, but also because there is little air in these small grooves, protecting the palm from excessive sweating.

The size of the notch usually does not change. If you do it more, it will reduce the comfort of a grip, and if less, it will add to sweating ...

The thickness of the neck.

Usually, this is a standard parameter, but ... If you need to increase the grip strength, then it makes sense to look for thicker copies. Large diameter grits are much more difficult to hold. I have to stretch the muscles of the hand and forearm with all my strength. Want to become stronger - remember this. The usual thickness of such "power" vultures is from 5 to 7.5 cm.

Now, when we seem to have sorted out the theory, let's choose the variants that are suitable for different requirements.

For convenience, we will only consider grids with a landing diameter of 50 mm.

Compact.



Length - 1250 mm

Weight - 12.5 kg

Locks - smooth bushing

The price is $ 130.

  (with a landing diameter of 25 mm, the cost is half as much)

Average.

Length - 1800 mm

Weight - 17 kg

Locks - smooth bushing

The price is $ 180.

  (the best option)

A long.

Length - 2200 mm

Weight - 25 kg

Locks - self-locking (Olympic)

The maximum weight is 350 kg

The price is $ 500.

EZ-bar.



Length - 1270 mm

Weight - 12.5 kg

Locks - smooth bushing

The price is $ 150.

W-bar.



Length - 1270 mm

Weight - 12.5 kg

Locks - smooth bushing

The price is $ 150.

With griffins sorted out. Now they need something to weight for fruitful training. Maybe pancakes? The idea is good, but what pancakes to choose? Can attract attention rubberized, but with an effective chrome edge? They look excellent, but what about practicality? ..

All the "bells and whistles" on pancakes are invented either for beauty or for convenience. In particular, chrome is only beauty. Only here, in terms of convenience, considerably lags behind ordinary rubber. On her hands do not slip. But even the chrome-plated disc will not fall out of the hands if it contains special grooves for carrying. Also smart people invented pancakes not of round shape, but, for example, multifaceted. These discs will never roll away from you ...

Choosing pancakes in the store, try to raise them, assess the comfort for a grip, and, of course, the appearance. For comparison, I quote the average prices for disks of different weights:

Weight (kg.) Cost per pair (USD) 0,5
13
0,75
15
1
17
1,25

A little advice on saving money.

If you want to buy a barbell and dumbbells, but do not set yourself the goal of lifting huge scales, you might think about choosing a neck with a landing diameter of 25 or 30 mm. The same size is also found in dumbbells, so they do not have to buy individual pancakes.
