Have you ever noted a body builder who completely lacks a balance in structure, mass and movement? Have you ever seen how awful a body builder looks when some part of his or her physique has an impressive thickness and definition while another part is completely out of shape? It is even humiliating for a body builder to stand up in a competitive line with impressive side poses only mired by a lagging chest.
You definitely must have seen the body builders who are massive in their upper torso but marginal in their legs. They look like cartoon characters, and instead of impress, their physiques cause laughter in the streets. So what causes such and imbalance of physique? There is only one single cause of the imbalance and that is imbalanced training. If you concentrate on working out a particular body part, over and over again, it will grow faster than the other parts. Most frequently, we tend to forget the legs, the back and the abdomen as we train the chest ands biceps. Consequently therefore, we end up with a massive upper torso that hangs on a feeble lower body structure.
In fact, it is not always an exclusive training that makes some body parts to grow out of proportion while the others lag behind. Sometimes, we can be training all the body parts at regular intervals but the workload to which the different body parts, or rather muscle groups, are subjected to differs. That means that some muscle groups are stimulated to grow more than others and even if the growth might accrue on all muscle groups, with time the overworked muscle groups get stronger and bigger than the under worked muscle groups.
Hand for example. For left-handed people, the right hand is always helped by the left hand during barbell presses or bench presses. The right-handers will most frequently have a weak left hand, with differences featured prominently in the biceps and triceps. You might not actually note it, but the stronger hand will always come to the rescue of the weaker, making it grow even stronger than the alternative one. It requires a vigilant body builder to ensure that the weights are balanced equally on both hands before lifting, lowering, pressing or pulling.
So too with the legs. Most leg exercises unlike the arm exercises, feature both the legs working simultaneously. That means that the legs are actually more prone to imbalanced training than are the arms. On the cycle fro instance, you might lie to yourself that both legs are equally involved in turning the pedal, but close inspection and observance will indicate that one leg, usually the stronger, is actually pushing the pedal three-quarters of the way. Consequently, the weaker leg will never grow to the level of the stronger one, since the stronger one is stimulated to grow even stronger.
The best solution to imbalanced training is cautious invigilation of the weight load, such that the weight is equally balanced and each body part is equally stimulated to grow. Secondly, try compound exercises more that the isolationist exercises. Incorporate as many exercises in the training routine to ensure that the body is wholesomely and equally stimulated and exhausted.
