A propósito de …
Con tres alemanes, agua abajo por el Apure
(Mit Drei Deutschen Den Apure Flussabwärts)*
Tres hombres, tres sombras a la vista de hoy, tres acentos en los oídos de quienes pudieron conversar con ellos, sentados en una curiara, en tiempos distintos, con el sol o la noche ante sus ojos, bajaron por el río Apure y dejaron sus marcas en la orilla, en la tierra, las huellas digitales de sus imágenes en libros y pergaminos que han sido recogidos por quienes han sabido armar la historia del país profundo, del país que poca gente nombra, del país silencioso: el país inventado por novelistas e imagineros de las metrópolis de otros mundos donde pronunciar un río del trópico es trascender al paraíso perdido de Milton.
“Alejandro de Humboldt, Friedrich Gerstäcker y Carl Sachs, tres alemanes que, como parte de su recorrido por Venezuela, fueron a San Fernando y desde ahí, agua abajo por el Apure, llegaron a Guayana y uno de ellos hasta el Delta mismo del Orinoco con rumbo a Trinidad en viaje de retorno a Europa”, nos dice Édgar Colmenares del Valle en su libro Con tres alemanes, agua abajo por el Apure, grueso tomo donde convergen el idioma español y el alemán para gusto de ambas culturas.
Es un trabajo de 355 páginas publicado por la empresa de seguros Makler, en Caracas, 2015, como parte de la celebración de su vigésimo aniversario. Igualmente, como un homenaje a aquellos alemanes que se arriesgaron a viajar por el gran río llanero, pero también a todos los nacidos en el país europeo que vinieron a conocer en todas las épocas y que de alguna manera han contribuido con el crecimiento cultural, económico y social de Venezuela.

Este trabajo de investigación del académico de la lengua nacido en el mencionado estado llanero representó un verdadero reto. Colmenares del Valle se paseó por documentos en los que los alemanes dejaron su impronta.
Humboldt, Gerstäcker y Sachs son tres de los viajeros que, en este caso en diferentes momentos del siglo XIX venezolano, escribieron parte de su historia, de su geografía, de su literatura, de su filosofía, de su folklore y, por supuesto, del sentimiento venezolano de ese entonces.
Desde el tiempo que vivimos nos toca imaginar aquellos viajes. Y afirmo imaginar, antes de entrar de lleno en el libro, porque no deja de tener su carga poética esta instancia que nos regala la historia de aquellos aventureros que también fueron convertidos en prosa para enriquecer nuestra memoria histórica y nuestra literatura de creación. Abundan títulos de descendientes de alemanes en este país de capitostes, caudillos, bandoleros, zancudos, endemias, aguaceros y sequías letales.
Imaginamos a tres hombres blancos atacados por los insectos, inflamados por el calor y la disentería. Los vemos como en una película personal. Los sentimos casi envueltos por la magia de aquella doña Bárbara que sigue siendo símbolo de la sabana. Aquella devoradora de hombres que no es más que el mismo llano misterioso, capaz de borrar los pasos de quienes se arriesgan a desafiarlo. Imaginamos a esos tres teutones balanceándose en una larga canoa conducida por un hombre descalzo parado en la punta de la embarcación con una pértiga para empujar, desde el fondo, la carga sobre el lomo viscoso del río, donde caimanes y caribes esperan la caída de alguno para devorarlo. Imaginamos el cielo abierto, el clima, las lluvias inesperadas, el sudor como un caracol sobre la piel ardida. Pero también imaginamos la cara de asombro de quienes andan buscando un mundo diferente al de donde provienen. Un mundo salvaje por lo natural, salvaje por lo crudo de su paisaje, por lo crucial de su templanza. Un mundo contado por otros, ahora mundo revelado. El mundo que pudieron haber imaginado pero que se les muestra distinto sobre la corriente lenta de un río que los lleva a un más lejos para ellos desconocido.

Édgar Colmenares del Valle se ha acostumbrado a regalarnos sorpresas: también ha escrito poesía y ficción en la que su tierra, la que no deja jamás fuera de su alcance físico y espiritual, aparece convertida en sueños, en imágenes, en personajes y en los nombres que lo persiguen benignamente.
Esta bitácora, la de cada uno de estos viajeros buscadores de tesoros culturales, conforma la investigación de Colmenares del Valle:
Humboldt arribó a Cumaná el 16 de julio de 1799. Había zarpado de La Coruña rumbo a América el 5 de junio en compañía de Aimé Bonpland (…). A Venezuela, Humboldt llegó procedente de Tenerife. En Cumaná y en otros sitios del Oriente venezolano permaneció hasta el 16 de noviembre. Desde ese día hasta el 21 de noviembre, bordea la costa desde Cumaná y llega a La Guaira y, finalmente, a Caracas.
La narración de nuestro autor atrae al lector por la facilidad con que dibuja cada movimiento del personaje. El alemán sale de la capital el 7 de febrero de 1800 y “emprenderá su viaje a San Fernando de Apure”, sitio al que llega el 30 de marzo, y entre ese día y el 9 de mayo viaja por el Apure y el Orinoco hasta el Río Negro”.
En un instante del trabajo, Colmenares cita a Venegas Filardo, quien ha tocado el mismo tema pero ubica a Humboldt en Calabozo, camino al Apure. Venía el alemán del centro del país. Había pasado por los Valles del Tuy, por La Victoria, Turmero, Maracay, Valencia. Estudió el Lago y las aguas termales de Mariara. Estuvo en Guacara. Fue a Las Trincheras, donde también investigó las aguas sulfurosas del lugar y de allí se desplazó hasta Puerto Cabello.
De estas últimas localidades tomó rumbo a los llanos centrales; en Calabozo conoció a Carlos del Pozo y Sucre, quien había realizado estudios de electricidad con instrumentos considerados similares a los que poseían los físicos europeos. Estudió los fenómenos eléctricos producidos por el temblador y se admiró al ver toninas a tanta distancia del mar, las cuales estudió en las aguas del río Apure.
Y como escribiera Venegas Filardo, Humboldt fue un “apasionado de los ríos”. Estudió la geografía y las corrientes que las vigorizan con sus aguas. Casi todos los ríos de América del Sur fueron conocidos por este hombre al lado de Bonpland, con quien “recorrió, en total, unos 10.000 km”, remata Colmenares.

Gerstäcker, nos habla Colmenares, es el otro alemán que incursionó por el río Apure. Este teutón “fue un sempiterno viajero, hizo cinco grandes viajes”. Según Sonia Karsen, cita el autor, “el quinto y último viaje (1867-1868) lo llevó nuevamente a los Estados Unidos, México, Centro América, el Ecuador y Venezuela”.
Por su parte, Andrés Ortega Mendoza, destaca Colmenares, señala que el alemán siguió el mismo destino de Humboldt: “La Guaira, Caracas, valles de Aragua, Villa de Cura, Calabozo, San Fernando de Apure, río Apure, río Orinoco, Ciudad Bolívar, minas del Callao, hasta salir por el delta hacia Trinidad”.
De Sachs, nuestro autor precisa que arribó al país en septiembre de 1876, y “después de una breve permanencia en Caracas, en donde fue atendido por Adolfo Ernst, viajó a Calabozo, por la vía de San Juan de los Morros, y desde este pueblo llanero se dirigió a San Fernando de Apure, adonde llegó navegando por el Portuguesa desde Camaguán (…); en las poblaciones de El Rastro y Guardatinajas se dedicó a realizar estudios sobre el temblador y otras especies ictiológicas de los ríos de estas localidades del llano guariqueño”.
Colmenares del Valle añade que “de su navegación por el Portuguesa, el Apure y el Orinoco, se nutre en gran parte su obra De los Llanos, publicada en Alemania un año después de su muerte, ocurrida el 18 de agosto de 1878 cuando junto a tres compañeros escalaba los nevados del Monte Cevedale y cayó por un precipicio. Tenía 25 años de edad”.

La enjundia de este trabajo me lleva a resumir. En esta investigación, Colmenares incorpora una larga lista de personajes alemanes y de otras nacionalidades que se encargaron de estudiar la geografía, la topografía, el clima y otros accidentes del trópico, desconocidos por los europeos.
Además, anexa imágenes de libros como el de fray Jacinto de Carvajal, Descubriendo el río Apure. Retratos y fotografías de Ambrosio Alfinger, Nicolás Federmann, Philipp von Hutten, Ferdinand Bellermann, Anton Goering, Gottfried Knoche, Wilhem Sievers, Ernst, Codazzi, Päl Rosti, Henri Pittier, entre otros. La portada de la Historia de la conquista y población de la Provincia de Venezuela, de José de Oviedo y Baños. La Descripción exacta de la Provincia de Venezuela, de D. Joseph Luis de Cisneros. Paisajes, imágenes varias. El trópico. Igualmente, textos de Sachs sobre su aventura venezolana. Su travesía fluvial por nuestro país. La descripción de lo que veía, lo que sus ojos descubrían y convertían en asombro.
Se trata pues de un libro para adentrarse con calma en la fronda de un país dueño de un río por el que navegaron unos hombres que no han terminado de irse. Un bello tratado que nos lleva hacia una Venezuela poco conocida por muchos nacidos aquí que hoy dicen conocerla. Un libro en el que nos descubrimos. Nos vemos a través de los ojos de estos personajes que hoy son parte de nuestra nacionalidad.

«By slowly decreasing your self, you will skyrocket your TUT and flood your muscle tissue with blood,» says
Yeung. So we reached out to Anthony J. Yeung C.S.C.S.
and energy coach at PUSH Non-public Health and
came up with 15 variations to help diversify the strikes in your arsenal.
Your arms should move immediately back (and downward slightly), nearly
parallel to the floor, to target the rear deltoid, rhomboid,
and lure. The face pull is an isolation pulley train that primarily works
the shoulders and, secondarily, the back. The lying cable
pullover is a superb various to the barbell or dumbbell pullover.
The content material on BOXROX is provided solely for informational and academic functions.
Using dumbbells as a substitute of a barbell (which we’ll talk about next) means you can strengthen your wrists via wrist rotation as you perform
your lifts. This helps to engage various small stabilizer muscle tissue found all through the chest space whereas also giving your pecs a radical exercise.
The continuous resistance afforded by means of cables makes the cable
crossover nice for controlling the movement of your reps.
To target each your upper and decrease chest simultaneously, cable crossovers are a great possibility –
and they’re the proper finisher.
In the shoulder girdle, the pectoralis minor and serratus anterior are
the main muscular tissues that become concerned. The pectoralis minor is a
small muscle located on the higher chest and lined by the pectoralis major.
Lined by the scapula at the rear and the pectoralis main in entrance, the serratus anterior lies on the outer surface
of the ribs just under the armpits. The serratus anterior and pectoralis
minor of the shoulder girdle, together with the higher and lower portions of the trapezius,
rotate and transfer the scapula to accommodate the arm actions.
Under, we define the ten finest chest exercises for power and dimension, supported by scientific proof to ensure optimal results.
When it comes to presses, you might find that you need a heavier load, during which case you’ll find a way to place a dumbbell of sufficient weight excessive
of the cable machines weight stack. This will improve the weight load by nonetheless
a lot the dumbbell weighs. When comparing to dumbbell chest flys,
cable chest flys are simpler in your joints and are much less more probably to trigger you
to overextend your shoulder joint.
The exercises within the exercises above embrace inner chest exercises to hit the muscle from
all of these angles. The largest segment of the pectoralis main muscle is the sternal head,
working from the midline of the chest out to the entrance
of the higher arm. This article will explain every thing
you should know about constructing a ripped inner chest. We’ll break
down the training techniques, exercises, workouts, and tips
you’ll need to fill out your internal pecs. To obtain a balanced
physique and maximize your chest gains, it’s crucial to include a variety of workout routines that hit
totally different angles and muscle fibers within the chest.
These include fundamental workouts corresponding to press-ups,
which can be performed practically anywhere, to other pec workout routines which
target specific areas of the chest to help with
definition. The very definition of a traditional train, push-ups are simple
to learn and may be carried out nearly anyplace with no equipment
required. Depending on what variation you use, you
possibly can target every muscle within the chest by doing push-ups.
Moreover, the dumbbells will allow you to discover and correct
any side-to-side asymmetries you may need. The pecs are generally referred to as «respiration muscular tissues.» That’s as a outcome of one
of the functions of the pectoralis minor is to elevate and increase your rib cage when inhaling.
This movement of your rib cage allows for full and deep diaphragmatic respiratory.
You Are promoting deeper respiratory and correct circulation by strengthening your chest muscle tissue with dumbbell workouts.
Cable crossovers present fixed pressure all through
the vary of motion, which is right for isolating
the pectoralis main.
These 7 exercises are wonderful examples of the method to cover the often-neglected inside
chest movements. If you slot these into your exercise routines you’ll begin seeing outcomes in no time.
The coracobrachialis is a small muscle positioned deep
underneath the deltoid and pectoralis major muscle tissue.
The trapezius is a big muscle overlaying the middle upper
again, and only the upper and lower parts are involved in upward
rotation of the scapula. This train also entails the medial and lateral heads of the triceps
brachii, which covers the entire back of the higher arm.
We can do this by ensuring we choose workout routines that observe the
various orientations of the higher, mid and decrease chest fibers.
There is a LOT extra to chest coaching than you might assume, especially if you’ve found your pecs are gradual to grow.
There are dozens of workouts you could do on chest day, however you most likely do not wish to spend your
Monday—aka Worldwide Chest Day—doing all of them.
You just want to know the most effective workouts to construct a muscular chest,
so we have accomplished the work to match them for you.
It comes into play when lifting heavier weights, as an example,
when transferring things around the home, so regular pec workouts are important
for optimum well being.
The center chest muscles work onerous whenever you place the hand closer than the shoulder width and squeeze the chest near
the top. Strive doing each low-rep units (4-8 reps) and high-rep units (15-20 reps) in your chest exercises.
It is necessary to emphasize the contraction and squeeze of the center chest, but excessive emphasis
can lead to a decreased range of motion and limit the general effectiveness of the
train.
And additionally, the train you could carry the most weight with.
Also, studies like this one by Akagi et al., present a positive correlation between 1 rep max bench
press with the dimensions of the pectoralis main. Thus, indicating that
a strong bench does equate to an enormous chest in lots of circumstances.
Once every week will in all probability be a lot for
many, however when you really feel that you’ve recovered
quicker and that you could beat your earlier weights, you can repeat it each 4–5
days. This workout is aimed at both power and muscle development, and it
is possible for you to to get good outcomes of each with it.
Additionally, the pectoralis minor contributes to the respiration process.
During inhalation, the contraction of the pectoralis minor elevates the ribs,
permitting air to fill the lungs. Stop worrying about your «inner»
or «outer» chest and just focus on maximizing your overall chest positive aspects as a whole via
proper train selection, type and progressive overload.
You can’t isolate or shift more emphasis onto the «inner chest» for
the simple reason that there actually isn’t any such factor.
They not solely train you the most effective inner chest exercise but also provide you
with a diet plan that complements your advanced exercise.
The press and fly movements could be done with a set of dumbbells and a bench.
With resistance bands, you can simulate all kinds of crossover angles.
Though it takes somewhat apply to master the body weight dip for chest growth,
this functional train is perfect for house or park
workouts as properly. Not forgetting in regards to the lower a half of the internal chest muscle tissue, dips are a good
way to provide a stretch and hard contraction of the decrease sternal and abdominal heads of the pecs.
Constructing on the concept of adding extra shoulder adduction into inside chest workouts, the type of gear used is
important. Hand positioning also enhances inner chest workout routines by letting the forearm rotate in the course of the concentric portion of a lift.
Like the fly above, an important a half of this train for internal
chest improvement is the squeeze as soon as your arms are prolonged.
Think About holding and squeezing for an extra few counts
when you press each of your arms together. Yet another variation of the fly,
this actually is a definite train and requires apply.
Isolateral movements allow you to concentrate on weaknesses that persist on one aspect of
the body. Related to the close grip bench press, the hex press takes benefit of dumbbells and transfers rigidity differently.
You aren’t simply doing the urgent portion of the exercise—you’re additionally
adding in the all-important cross-body motion talked about above.
This model of the movement is performed unilaterally (one aspect at a time), with an emphasis on the upper-inner pec region. Nevertheless,
emphasis is positioned on bringing the resistance additional
throughout the body and past the midline, thus extending the range
of movement to pressure an intense peak contraction in the inside pec.
Flip your press to chisel your pecs with this powerful cable machine or banded train. You May create a ton of
tension utilizing your abs, decrease again muscle tissue, and glutes to stay stable—then carve out your pecs with
the presses. Similar to the hex press however with a plate, and usually performed standing upright (but could
be accomplished from a seated or incline bench position).
This train is nice for burnouts/conditioning or ending
movements.
There are many good causes to add the diamond push-up to your workout routine.
This includes elevated triceps and chest activity, improved core strength and
stability, and enhanced shoulder energy. When you carry out a regular
push-up, your chest, shoulders, and triceps work harmoniously to
push your body up and down.
While not many individuals are prone to do a cable solely chest exercise, it may be carried
out and in an effective manner no much less. If all you’ve access to is a cable crossover machine, we promise you could get an exceptional chest workout in. So to conclude, here’s a pattern chest exercise you can perform
utilizing the workout routines I beforehand discussed. Carry Out one chest workout per week, ideally on a
Monday or Tuesday. You can do a little light triceps work afterward,
however you do not have to. They’re Going To
get plenty of work throughout the presses in your chest
workout, then again later within the week.
This motion additionally enhances shoulder stability and functional strength,
making it a priceless addition to your routine. This exercise
mimics the flat bench dumbbell fly, however again, it provides constant tension throughout.
You shall be utilizing a barely higher pulley anchor point than the middle fly and you will be keeping
your arms up and raising them up similar to an incline bench.
It additionally helps develop strength in your inside chest area
when executed with correct type and controlled actions.
In order to maximise your chest improvement, you
must carry out compound and isolation workout routines.
While an isolation exercise focuses on a single
muscle group, a compound train involves a quantity of muscle
groups. The barbell bench press is considered probably the greatest
chest compound workout routines, together with the incline bench press.
The dumbbell bench press is a flexible and highly effective train that gives a variety of benefits on your chest development.
While it won’t provide you with wherever near the gains of free weights,
it’s going to train you good type, provides a solid base, and can be done anyplace.
An various is to do that exercise once a week, however do a lighter second workout in between every workout.
In the lighter workout, you can reduce both volume and
weights, so that you’re refreshed and helping
your recovery along the best way, somewhat than adding to the burden. By putting all of
them collectively, as we’ll do within the subsequent section, you can create a fantastic chest exercise.
Muscle fibers from this whole range come collectively into one single
tendon, inserting on the front of your upper arm (humerus).
At the height of your pushup, push your self up
off the ground and shortly clap in midair.
In summary, the incline dumbbell press is a superb chest
train, allowing a long range of motion in a stable place, for a large portion of your pec muscle fibers.
Other features of your pecs are to adduct your upper arm (bring it nearer to your side), and to internally rotate it (like in arm wrestling).
Thus, workout routines that concentrate on your chest muscular tissues often also train your front deltoids.
They target your arms, chest, and core, serving
as one of the most efficient body weight movements you can do.
If that is the case for you, consider alternatively using an train like the dumbbell bench press.
It has been proven to have comparable chest activation to
the barbell bench press however less triceps activation. Earlier Than we get started, it’s important that you simply set up a strong mind-muscle connection along with your chest.
Otherwise, you’ll be working secondary muscles and your chest won’t
develop as much as it may. Researchers showed that verbal cues helped boost chest activation by 22% during bench press in skilled athletes, in comparison with when no cues
were used. Here’s a unique mind-muscle masterpiece transfer that creates tons of tension at the midline, a
serious difference out of your traditional pressing movements.
Nevertheless, by making this a unilateral motion versus the usual
fly, you’ll be able to actually lengthen past the midline, thereby extending the vary of
movement.
Secondly, the strain is totally different from that of a dumbbell, barbell or another free weight.
This is as a result of cable machines present a flat resistance curve, somewhat
than an ascending or descending strength curve.
So, a cable fly or press shall be equally as exhausting at the top of the range as
it’s in the backside of the vary, whereas with dumbbells, it is hardest within the stretched
place. Chest could additionally be some of the regularly skilled muscle tissue by most individuals.
However it’s sadly also the one muscle
group that folks tend to have the most hassle
growing. In addition, there’s a tendency for nearly all of people to overly focus on flat urgent
actions (e.g. barbell bench press).
