Tired of overcrowded and under-equipped facilities. You know those long lines that can happen at the gym to use the weight equipment? This study shows that you don’t need equipment to get in a good resistance workout. You just need a training partner
The 14 week study shows that in 84 healthy college students were given 6 exercises and performed 8 to 12-rep sets 2 to 4 times. After 14 weeks of training with weights or manual resistance both groups showed no significant difference. Both groups did increase their overall strength over baseline.
Manual resistance is an alternative to the more conventional forms of resistance training programs. The muscular system doesn’t know the difference between manual and weight assisted exercise. Manual resistance is a style of strength training that can be incorporated into your regular workouts or in a situation where no equipment and/or facilities are available.
All you need is two people.
