Why do some exercises feel stronger than others? Why can two people lift the same weight but get completely different results?
In this first installment of my Biomechanics of Resistance Training series, we break down the science that governs every movement you make in the gym. Understanding biomechanics can help you train smarter, improve performance, reduce injury risk, and maximize muscle growth.
In this video, you'll learn:
• What biomechanics really is
• How your body functions as a system of levers
• The four components of every exercise
• Open-chain vs. closed-chain exercises
• First-, second-, and third-class levers
• Why body proportions influence strength
• The foundation you'll need to understand torque and mechanical advantage in Part 2
Whether you're a beginner, personal trainer, medical student, physical therapist, or experienced lifter, this series will change the way you look at resistance training forever.
