How to Get the Most Out of Your Workout With a Corner Leverage Gym

A corner leverage gym is a great piece of equipment to add to your home gym to get a total body workout. The purpose behind a leverage bench is to provide the user with an intense total body workout that doesn’t put additional strain on the body. Now that manufacturers are creating corner leverage gyms for the home gym, individuals are now able to incorporate a traditionally corporate piece of gym equipment into their home gym.

Corner leverage gyms allow the user to safely control their exercise movements at all times, which means you will be able to push your muscles and get a great total body workout. Here’s how to get an even better workout with your corner leverage gym.

Increase The Range Of Motion

When you want to get more out of a workout, one of the best ways to do this is by increasing the range of motion for an exercise, which will give you better results for each rep you complete. To get the most out of leverage dips, for example, start from a position with your arms fully extended and dip as low as possible. By increasing the distance traveled, you improve the results of the exercise dramatically without having to depend on more weights or change up your workout routine too much.

Improve Your Technique

One of the best things you can do to level up your workout is to ensure you’re doing each move perfectly. The better you can perfect each move, the more benefit you’ll get out of each set. As you improve and progress your technique you’ll be able to perform more advanced versions of each exercise. 

Do Something More Difficult

Consider the workouts you’re already doing and then you can add more advanced versions of the same workout. When doing leverage squats for example, you can do a single-leg leverage squat instead. By eliminating one point of contact, you double the bodyweight loaded on to the individual leg and will get a better workout out of each rep.

Manipulating leverage is also an effective tool. For example, compare doing a push-up with your feet on an elevated surface to doing a push-up with all of your limbs on the ground. There is much more weight on the chest, arms, and shoulders when your legs are elevated, due to the change in leverage. Your body weight may not change, but the challenge the move presents does and will enhance your workout.

Slow It Down

If you want to squeeze maximal resistance out of every set, you need to take it slow. A simple change in tempo will add more tension to every rep and set, increasing the number of muscle fibers being used and fired up. Think quality, controlled movements through a full range of motion, devoid of swinging or bouncing. This promotes pure strength, but also allows you to get more out of every move.
