Twenty years ago Wholesale Oakland Athletics Jersey , in the 1980s, it was very unusual for the "average" woman to be involved in weight training. Oh, there were such women, usually professional athletes who knew the benefits of it, but the "average" woman thought that "weight training" equated with "body building", and that if she so much as lifted a weight or two she'd end up looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

While it is possible for women to bulk up that way ? only body builders who want to compete Wholesale New York Yankees Jersey , and take muscle-building supplements and train three times a day to achieve that super-hypertrophied look.

Today, the misunderstandings about the use of weight training for women have largely vanished, and thousands of women around the world have embraced it. Indeed, practically every professional female athlete includes weight training in her regimen, and needs to, of course Wholesale New York Mets Jersey , if they want to be at the top of their game.

But weight training is not just for the professional athlete. Everyone can benefit from lifting weights. Think of it not as "body building" or even "weight training" but rather as "body sculpting."

With weights, it's possible to target practically every part of your body to strengthen it, and to turn flab into muscle. (And, as an aside, since muscles burn calories more efficiently than fat, you can eat more (within limits Wholesale Minnesota Twins Jersey , of course!) and not put on weight.

There are two types of weights, free weights and machines. Typically, you find machines in YMCAs and gyms, and free weights in the home. Indeed, it's pretty easy to fit out an inexpensive home gym using free weights.

In order to set up a home gym, you'll need:

1. A weight bench.

As is the way of things Wholesale Milwaukee Brewers Jersey , of course, you've got multiple benches to choose from. There's the simple "utility bench", which is just a padded bench. (Whatever else you do, always get a bench that's padded.)

An adjustable bench is divided into two parts, so that you can raise the top portion of it to various angles, which enables you to perform bench presses at an "incline Wholesale Miami Marlins Jersey ," which targets different muscles.

Then there's benches that also come with a built-in rack, where you store your barbells when not in use.

Then there's the bench that also comes with the Leg Extension option. You really want to have this, because it enables you to do leg extensions and leg curls easily.

2. Barbell

Regardless of how much weight you eventually want to be able to press or lift at any given time, you need as strong a bar as possible, for safety's sake.

Most home accidents happen when the plates you've put on either end of the ball fall off because they have not been properly secured, so make sure you get first class "collars" to use Wholesale Los Angeles Dodgers Jersey , and always snug them up and make sure they're properly set.

Plates come in a variety of weights, and you want a variety, so that you can scale up the amount of weights you work with, both for your legs and for your arms.

Then there's dumbbells. Here again, you have a choice. You can purchase (or find, at garage sales) dumbbells which are already made to a certain weight - from 1 pound upwards Wholesale Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Jersey , typically in one pound increments, or you can buy what look like miniature barbell bars, and you put plates on them to achieve the weight you want.

The average woman will probably not need dumbbells much above fifteen pounds, and will probably want to stick with the ten pound weights, anyway. This is because there are two types of weight training - for strength and for endurance. The lighter the weight, the more reps you can do Wholesale Kansas City Royals Jersey , and thus, the more endurance you build.

As with any activity, if you lift weights incorrectly, you can injure yourself, so even if you're going to be working out at home and not at a gym, make sure you learn how to do each exercise correctly.

A metal roof can expand and contract as much as 2 inches every 100 feet which can be devastating to fasteners and seams Wholesale Houston Astros Jersey , which 90% of all roof leaks occur at these points.

If you are experiencing problems with a metal surface then the two options are to either replace the roof which can be extremely expensive and time consuming or restore it with an elastomeric roof coating, which can be very cost effective as compared to replacing the roof.

A high quality elastomeric roof can add many years of life to your existing roof, they come in many different forms but the high quality ones are generally more expensive but should be the only choice. Lower cost coatings don't stretch as well and seldom have the proper UV protection built into them.

Another key feature in Elastomeric coatings are the energy savings you will benefit from them. Immediately after coating the metal roof surface its temperature can drop as much as 40 degrees or more in a very short period of time. This reduction in heat transfer from your roof will make your building much cooler and will save your money in your energy bills.

The coating however does not simply just work alone, there are steps necessary to ensure that your structure is properly sealed from the elements. The firs.
