However, as its aim is to increase the overall size of muscles, the program raises the stakes by targeting different
muscles at different angles alternating between sequences of pushing and pulling.
This will work
your muscles at a different angle.
This will get you bigger arms because it hits
the muscle at a different angle then it is use to and the consistant time under tension is there.
Not exact matches
Keep in mind that a well rounded workout routine for each
muscle group usually incorporates
at least four
different exercises that hit the target area from multiple
angles.
As you can see, this
muscle is a part of the big chest
muscle (the pectoralis major), but its
muscle fibers are
at a
different angle.
An example of this would be working out your biceps
at different angles and
muscle lengths, an example would be preacher curls and straight arm cable curls.
Comparing
different knee joint
angles in the deadlift, Escamilla et al. (2002) explored
muscle activity of the medial and lateral gastrocnemius
at knee joint
angles of: 90 — 61 degrees (lift - off position), 60 — 31 degrees (mid-range), and 30 — 0 degrees (lockout).
Comparing squats with
different hip rotation
angles, Ninos et al. (1997) found no differences in
muscle activity between squats with the feet pointing neutrally forwards and the feet turned out
at 30 degrees (using the same absolute load).
The basic finding: 14 out 15 triathletes showed no difference in
muscle recruitment between the two runs, but five of them did show kinematic differences (their joints were
at different angles and moving differently).
So as you may have guessed, you have to work the leg
at different angles, and with
different kinds of motion to get to the inner thigh
muscles.
Finally, multi-pennate
muscles are those that contain several regions of
muscle fascicles that are oriented
at several
different angles relative to the axis of force generation (Lieber & Fridén, 2000; 2001).
They imported this data into a three - dimensional musculoskeletal model of the hip
muscles in order to assess the effects of changing hip flexion on the ability of the gluteus maximus to perform
different movements
at different hip flexion
angles.
Delp et al. (1999) measured the
muscle moment arms of 6
different compartments of the gluteus maximus
at several
different hip flexion
angles (0, 20, 45, 60, and 90 degrees) in 4 cadavers.
