9th Grade Weight Training (Beginner Level)

Coach Latham's friend's first name is Arnold.

Beginners in weight training should start with 3 sets of 10 repetitions because this is a commonly recommended starting point for building strength and endurance without overexertion. Starting with a moderate number of sets and repetitions allows beginners to gradually adapt to the demands of weight training and reduce the risk of injury. As they progress and become more comfortable, they can gradually increase the number of sets and repetitions to continue challenging their muscles and making progress.

The correct answer is Leg Press because it is a machine specifically designed to target and strengthen the muscles in the legs. It involves pushing a weighted platform away from the body using the legs, primarily targeting the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. The other options mentioned, such as Military Press, Flat Bench Press, and Squat Rack, are all exercises or equipment used for upper body strengthening and do not specifically focus on the legs.

The correct answer is true because the piece of equipment shown in the picture involves the primary muscles mentioned, which are the hamstrings, quadriceps, and gastrocnemius. These muscles are commonly targeted and worked out during exercises that involve leg movements, such as squats, lunges, or leg presses. Therefore, it can be inferred that the equipment in the picture is designed to engage and strengthen these specific muscles.

The given statement states that the piece of equipment is called the "BENCH PRESS". However, this is not a complete statement as it does not provide any information or context about the equipment. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the correctness of the statement.

The statement is false because the standard weight of a Bench Press bar is 45 pounds, not 50 pounds.

The major muscle group used when performing a lift on this equipment is the pectorals. The picture is not provided, so it is not possible to determine the exact exercise or equipment being referred to. However, the pectorals are commonly used in various lifting exercises such as bench press, push-ups, or chest press machines. These exercises primarily target the pectoral muscles, which are located in the chest area and are responsible for movements such as pushing and lifting.

The weights on the 2-prong side of the Weight Tree are listed in descending order from bottom to top. The first weight is 45 lb, followed by 25 lb.

The 35 lb, 10 lb, 5 lb weights are placed on the top prong of the 3-prong side of the Weight Tree.

The correct answer is that the bar position is balanced, the hand position on the bar is balanced, the eyes are looking up at a 45-degree angle, and the back position is correct. This means that in order to have appropriate military press lifting technique, the bar should be balanced on the shoulders, the hands should be evenly placed on the bar, the eyes should be looking up at a 45-degree angle to maintain proper form, and the back should be in the correct position to prevent injury and maximize strength.

The F.I.T.T. principle stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type. It is a guideline for creating an effective workout plan. In this example, the F.I.T.T. principles are demonstrated by exercising 4 days per week, spending 30 minutes per day on the workout, and performing 3 sets of 10 reps for each exercise (Bench Press, Military Press, Squats). These principles ensure that the workout is consistent, challenging, and targets specific muscle groups.

The key components of the Bench Press include having your feet flat on the ground to provide a stable base of support, keeping your back flat on the bench to maintain proper form and prevent injury, checking the bar position to ensure it is aligned correctly, and placing your hands and the bar in the correct position for optimal strength and control.
