You didn't say training type, you said different exercise. You said flyes work the outer chest, they don't anymore than a bench press. If you did a muscle biopsie and figured out that someone had a...
It's not that I don't LIKE the implications YOU are stating, it's that the implications of the studies don't LIKE what you are interpreting them to mean. I made that pretty clear by breaking down...
Why are we going over this again? Every study you have posted and what I have maintained is that the muscle fibers are arranged in a way to provide several degree's of motion at the shoulder and...
- I like the keep it simple principle. It seems all to often that people are looking for a magic exercise or magic exercise routine that pro's use so they can look like that.
Seriously, here we go again, we all know that you can work different sections of the chest or lat depending on the angle you use. You are using this completely out of context for your inner/outer...
Dumbbell fly's are going to be harder on the pec in the bottom portion than press's because the weight falls farther from the body. The force development for this exercise is going to be greater at...
Exactly, this is the part no one is debating. The upper chest fibers are going to be called on more than the lower chest fibers during an incline movement, they resist the action of the weight and...
You can have a rope with a bunch of knots in it and it won't change the action, same with rubber bands. If however each knot was anchored with an attachment it would have merrit, but they don't so...
Angle of movements and bicep actions goes back to the first part of my post. Some muscle fibers will have a better line of pull and be called on to complete this movement (inlcine press, supination...
But where we disagree is that they can be worked independantly of each other, they simply cannot and the research from what I can tell agree's with me.
My first thought is get a second opinion and a third. I have heard of doctors misdiagnosing to fill their pockets like a car mechanic, seriously it happens and this situation is huge!! If a doctor...
You want to take your muscle through it's full range of motion for maximum muscle stimulation. For example, during a bicep curl you flex the elbow as much as possible to shorten the bicep as much as...
Load placement / Levers. During a barbell squat the weight is going to fall farther forward than a trap bar, the load with the trap bar falls more inline with your spine where as with the straight...
