On a weight machine, should one go down to zero state or just above on each rep?


Question:
Example, on a Nautilus, when you are on the retract/release cycle, should I go back all the way such that the weights touch or should I pull up just a bit before? It is certainly tougher not to retract the whole way.

Answers:
You definitely don't want to go all the way down (except at your last rep obviously). Not only can it hurt you, but if you bring the weight down with any momentum, the rebound (however small) will actually help you "cheat" on the way back up, resulting in less effort required of your muscles. Your muscles will miss out on the benefit from this small part of the range of motion.
You may or you may not, it depends on YOU. The important thing here is you attain the full range of movement and get the most stretch from the muscles involved. If achieving these 2 goals mean going down zero then go for it.

Hi,

I've tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don't work!
A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss and like many others I was skeptical about it. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it. The results were excellent and I lost 20 pounds in 2 months. I felt fantastic and I dropped another 5 pounds safely. That's why I recommend you check this product at
http://www.get-slender.info where they have a free trial and you only pay 5.49$ shipping and handling.
Good luck!
