Here it is more involved hands, abs and back.

The scientist warns those who love to do exercise morning after waking up. He notes that in the evening, our spine is shorter than in the morning, and therefore in the first hours after waking up, it is quite vulnerable. Therefore, you can load it only an hour or two after sleep.

Opinion on the bar Dr. Sergey Bubnovsky also spoke. He is sure that a long stay in the bar is even harmful. After all, such standing, coupled with respiratory delay, seriously loads the cardiovascular system, can lead to spasms of the back muscles.
The professor states that any wellness It should be accompanied by muscle contractions and relaxation. Therefore, the bar (including lateral) should be done only in combination with other more active exercises.
