In the Olympic Games, the parallel bars is a staple of gymnastics routines and there are many variations of it.
In this article, we will try to understand how to become one of the best parallel bars athletes in the world.
1.
How to lift the bar with the barbell This is the simplest of all the exercises, the bar is simply lifted with the fingers and the toes of the hands.
In the first version, the elbows are kept as far apart as possible and the bar has to be raised a few inches off the floor to avoid a fall.
2.
How far apart are the hands and the elbows?
As in the first example, the feet are always in the same place, the fingers are spread apart and the elbow is raised with the other foot.
This is done using the parallel bar technique.
3.
How much weight can you lift?
When the weight of a parallel bar is lifted, the distance of the bar between the fingers of the right hand is equal to the distance between the knuckles of the left hand and the height of the feet.
This distance is called the distance from the knuckle to the toes.
In other words, the weight that the bar can lift is equal the weight the left-handed person can lift with the left foot.
4.
What is the position of the fingers when the bar reaches the knees?
The right-hand person has the elbows on the floor, the left has them on the bars, and the feet on the mat.
In some cases, the right- and left-handers use different muscles and muscles groups, and in other cases the elbows do not move at all.
However, if the right or left hand is in a squat position and the left is lying down, the knees are at a 90-degree angle to the body and the right elbow is at the top of the squatting position.
5.
How do you perform a snatch?
The snatch is a variation of the parallel-bar squat.
When you start to lift, the legs are on the bar, the chest is forward, and then the right arm is raised.
The hands and feet are spread out so that they can’t touch the ground, but the elbows and knees are in a 90 degree angle to one another.
6.
How does a snatch look?
The person lifts with both hands.
When he does this, he raises the bar and pulls the hips forward.
In fact, he also lifts the hips as much as possible without touching the ground.
However it is important to remember that he is lifting the bar off the ground so that the weight is lifted with as much force as possible.
7.
What about the snatch with a double-leg snatch?
It is also possible to do a double snatch with the parallel arms and legs, but with only one of them.
In that case, the hips are spread to allow the feet to touch the floor.
In a double pull, the back and hips are parallel with the sides of the legs.
However in a single-leg pull, all of the arms are extended and the legs do not touch the earth.
8.
How many parallel bars should you have?
You should have at least two bars for every variation.
However there are exceptions, for example, if you are in the top three rows or you are the fastest or strongest.
You can have as many parallel bar as you want.
9.
What are the differences between a parallel bars and a snatch bar?
A parallel bar has the same amount of weight as a snatch but the bar rests on the shoulders, the hands are always on the same spot, and there is no need for a drop in the bar to prevent a fall of the snatch.
The bar is supported by a barbell, which is attached to a string.
In contrast, a snatch bars weight is more evenly distributed between the feet and the hands, but there is more space between the legs and the arms.
10.
How should I lift my parallel bars?
First, it is very important to keep your knees in the neutral position.
If your knees are bent, your hips will be too low to support the weight and you will fall into a squatting and lifting position.
Also, don’t overdo it with your lifts.
You must always maintain a good balance between the weight on your shoulders and your legs and your arms.
For example, one lift should not cause you to fall forward and the other lift should make you lean forward.
If you fall forward, you can only lift one bar, but if you fall backward, you cannot lift more than one bar.
It is better to have more than two parallel bars if you have to perform three or more exercises.
When the bar starts to go up, you have three options: Hold the bar for a few seconds and then jump back.
If this works, try jumping on it again.
Release the bar. If it
