EMG Studies on muscle groups

[CowPimp]

Yes, but then your results are only valuable lifting at that speed. If there is a relationship between TUT and EMG activity, you would use the same muscle lifting at different speeds.

Tension increases as the concentric lifting speed increases as well though.

 

[Dale Mabry]

Yes, a U-shaped graph would be how it would pan out.

1. If you watch most people in the gym train, lifting speed is pretty much constant...about a 1-2 second eccentric...a pause of zero to one second...and a concenctric of X to 1 second.

2. I agree that studies should be done using a few different "reasonable" lifting speeds and results compared.

3. I am more concerned with results regarding areas of the muscle showing the most activity.

You mean like upper/lower, etc?

 

[P-funk]

You mean like upper/lower, etc?

 

[gopro]

You mean like upper/lower, etc?

Upper/Lower
Short Head/Long Head
Inner/Outer
Anterior/Lateral/Posterior

Depends on the muscle.

gotcha

 

[topolo]

Dale leave Gp alone. I won't stand for you harassing him.

 

[Dale Mabry]

I wasn't harassing him, I believe that you can activate the sternal and clavicular heads of the pec major separately. It is at least physiologically possible, whether it happens remains to be seen.

 

[topolo]

One could theorize that it is physiologically possible but I know of no evidence to support the conclusion that the heads can be activated separately.

 

[Dale Mabry]

Is there evidence that it does not happen?

 

[topolo]

Yes, but it is a secret.......you have to be a mason.

 

[gopro]

One could theorize that it is physiologically possible but I know of no evidence to support the conclusion that the heads can be activated separately.

The best evidence is empirical.

 

[topolo]

Not really GP, eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable. Having said that, if you say it is true........I believe you!

Well, there is a slight difference between eyewitness testimony of an event, and the visual data collected over 15 years of observation

As I said earlier......if you say it, I believe it.

Well, thank you for the confidence you have in me my friend!
