In the latest episode of Anabolic Radio I had the pleasure of chatting to @FORTITUDE_TRAINING where we discuss Nuances of Range of Motion
.
Range of motion is simply the objective measurement our joints/muscles are able to move through.
.
In every exercise there will be 4 phases of a rep:
Eccentric (in a squat that will be the downwards motion)Isometric in the Lengthened position (bottom of a squat)Concentric (upwards motion in a squat)Isometric in the Shortened position (top of a squat).
For myself and my clients I always program tempo, which is simply allowing us to standardize how long we spend in each 4 phase of a rep. This is incredibly important when it comes to standardization of what you’re doing during a set.
.
Back to range of motion- as of late in the industry people have been off their rocker about emphasizing the lengthened position in an exercise. Dr. Scott took a few days, before the episode to brush up on what the current body of literature is suggesting when it comes to whether it’s best to train a muscle through a full range of motion, partial, or emphasize the lengthened position.
.
I couldn’t think of anyone better to have a deep dive on this topic with, thank you for your time Dr. Scott!!
