Performing
hip extension movements in greater hip abduction may therefore increase gluteus maximus involvement, and thereby produce a superior training effect.
Moreover, Lloyd and Buchanan (2001) noted that the gracilis does possess a muscle moment arm that is supportive of knee valgus moments during
knee extension movements.
Sakamoto et al. (2009) investigated gluteus maximus EMG amplitude during four prone hip
extension movements with varying joint angles.
While the lower back is often involved as a stabiliser in other exercises, such as squats, it is important to include a specific back
extension movement in your back workout, which targets the muscles effectively and makes everyday activities easier to perform with less injury risk.
I'm a fan of close grip benching along with neutral grip dumbbell bench pressing first, then shifting the focus to various machine or lighter
weight extension movements (press downs, overhead extensions, dips, etc.).
The lats are best trained with
shoulder extension movements that don't allow the biceps to get involved and steal the spotlight, and movements that enable a constant tension throughout the range of motion.
I did the Lying Triceps Extensions next and this was also killing my elbows, as
most extension movements tend to put a great deal of stress on the elbow joints.
You want to focus
on extension movements which are straightening movements that increase the angle between body parts.
However, in practice it rarely helps and sometimes exacerbates the problem due to the large shear forces that accompany the
leg extension movement.
These studies have found that
hip extension movements do not differ in their ability to produce a high level of EMG amplitude in the adductor longus but that most hip adduction movements are effective.
The majority of these comparisons demonstrate that exercises with minimal
knee extension movement and with the peak muscle force exerted with a fully - extended hip are superior (quadruped hip extension, prone hip extension with flexed knee, and front plank with hip extension).
Get ready for an unconventional explosive power workout utilizing
triple extension movements with med balls, sandbags, and kettlebells.
Workout Summary Get ready for an unconventional explosive power workout utilizing triple
extension movements with med balls, sandbags, and kettlebells.
Repeat this twice and then gently roll the foam roller an inch further up the spine, repeating
the extension movement twice.
Since the hips are multidirectional joints that can produce force in three planes of motion, the wide stance squat provides a superior possibility to train the hips in all three planes and develop stable hip joints by producing larger hip
extension movements and greater hip flexion than narrow stance squats.
If you have always neglected doing hip
extension movement, here is a way to absolve yourself from that mistake:
When I do
the extension movement, I breathe in.
The extension movement keeps the muscle looking long and lean without getting bulky!
This triple
extension movement will help build explosive power as well as strengthen ankle, knee and hip stability.
The regular back squat (and popular isolation exercises such as the glute kickback) is mainly a hip
extension movement — yet another reason why squats aren't the awesome ass - assimilator they're made out to be.
Romanian Deadlifts are probably the best hip
extension movement.
Ideally you should do two types of movement for the hamstrings — a compound hip
extension movement (where the hamstrings work in conjunction with the glutes and spinal erectors) and an isolation knee flexion movement.
For hamstrings do Romanian deadlifts (or another hip
extension movement) for 2 sets of 8 — 10 reps and leg curls for 2 — 4 sets of 8 — 12 reps.
I am seeing a complete lack of glute firing when trying to teach any triple
extension movement, knees buckling in when squatting, and the inability to straighten their legs and touch the floor without pain and discomfort.
Therefore, you can replace the olympic lifts with other weighted triple
extension movements.
Olympic lifts are triple
extension movements, targeting the hips, knees and ankles.
Hip abduction - adduction — Greater hip abduction leads to greater gluteus medius muscle activity during multi-joint hip extension movements
This may imply that hip
extension movements operating at large degrees of hip flexion are more likely to require greater hamstring and adductor magnus involvement and less gluteus maximus involvement, while hip extension movements operating close to full hip extension are more likely to require greater gluteus maximus involvement.
Hip
extension movements operating at large degrees of hip flexion are likely to require greater adductor magnus involvement and less gluteus maximus involvement, while hip extension movements operating close to full hip extension are more likely to require greater gluteus maximus involvement and less adductor magnus involvement.
Alternatively, it could imply that performing hip
extension movements in greater hip external rotation leads to greater adductor EMG amplitude performing hip extension movements in greater hip adduction does not.
Yamashita (1988) compared hamstrings EMG amplitude during isolated hip extension and isolated knee
extension movements performed with 20 % of the MVIC moment to hamstrings EMG amplitude with a combined hip and knee extension movement using the same hip and knee extension moments.
It was found that hamstrings EMG amplitude in combined hip and knee extension was only 42 % of the level in the isolated hip
extension movement, despite the hip extension moment being identical in both cases.
Thus, increased EMG amplitude of the hip extensors and abdominals both seem to lead to reduced anterior pelvic tilt during hip
extension movements.
Hip
extension movements at large degrees of hip flexion are likely to require greater adductor magnus involvement and less gluteus maximus involvement, while hip extension movements close to full hip extension are more likely to require greater gluteus maximus involvement and less adductor magnus involvement.
When using light loads with lower body exercises, you may need to add in extra, dedicated hip
extension movements (such as back extensions, pull throughs, glute bridges, or hip thrusts), but when using heavy loads you may need to take some out.
These findings may imply that hip
extension movements operating at large degrees of hip flexion are more likely to require greater adductor magnus involvement and less gluteus maximus involvement, while hip extension movements operating close to full hip extension are more likely to require greater gluteus maximus involvement and less adductor magnus involvement.
Gluteus maximus EMG amplitude is lower in combined hip extension and knee
extension movements than in isolated hip extension movements.
After a thorough examination and a bit of manipulation, flexion and
extension movements, etc, a tentative diagnosis was made: A partially torn ACL and a strained iliopsoas muscle.
