What is Weight Training?
Weight training is a common type of strength training for developing the strength, size of skeletal muscles and maintenance of strength. It uses the force of gravity in the form of weighted bars, dumbbells or weight stacks in order to oppose the force generated by muscle through concentric or eccentric contraction. Weight training uses a variety of specialized equipment to target specific muscle groups and types of movement.

Weight training is divided into various parts and workout plans depending on the parts of the body/ muscle groups to be targeted and/or as perthe fitness goals. Hence it is essential to know which machine is beneficial for specific muscle groups so that you can use the right weight training machines for your workout routine.
