I was wondering if the following exercises will help me build functional muscle:
*Note*All exercises involving weights are use in a powerlifting program
ARMS
1)Push ups
2)Panther crawl(go down like you're going to do a push up,come halfway up,and move foward)
3)push up all the way,go halfway down,back up,all the way down(hold each one for 10 seconds)
4)Inclined Bench Press
5)Military press
ABS
1)Sit ups in a declined position
2)Hang from a chinup bar and hold legs out straight in front of me
3)Lay on the ground and raise legs as high as possible then lower without letting them touch the ground and then back up
4)6 inches
LEGS
1)Jump and bring legs to chest
2)duck walk(squat donw with legs close together and walk)
3)Rabbit Hop(Same as above just leap foward)
4)Stance training
5)Squats
BACK
Deadlifts
FOREARMS
*Note*In all of these my arm is straight out in front of me and me wrist is straight to.
1)Holding staff at end
2)Holding staff at end and bending the wrist down and back up without letting the staff touch the ground
3)Holding staff at end and twisting the wrist left to right making a complete circle
4)Holding staff in center and twisting the wrist left to right making a complete circle
WRISTS/FINGERS
*Note*I use a dumbell with a weight on only one end
1)Hold dumbell at end without weight with thumb,pointer,and middle straight out in front of me.
2)While holding dumbell straight out in front of me I lower it and raise it
ANKLES
1)Standing in a normal walking stance I come up on the balls of my feet and then back down.
Please tell me if any of these do not help me to develop funchtional muscle and if you can give me an exercise to replace it.Thanks for any help.
