EP. 33 NUANCES OF RANGE OF MOTION - DR. SCOTT STEVENSON

Hawk Fit Presents: Anabolic Radio

In the latest episode of Anabolic Radio I had the pleasure of chatting to @FORTITUDE_TRAINING where we discuss Nuances of Range of Motion

.

Range of motion is simply the objective measurement our joints/muscles are able to move through.

.

In every exercise there will be 4 phases of a rep:

• Eccentric (in a squat that will be the downwards motion)
• Isometric in the Lengthened position (bottom of a squat)
• Concentric (upwards motion in a squat)
• Isometric in the Shortened position (top of a squat)

.

For myself and my clients I always program tempo, which is simply allowing us to standardize how long we spend in each 4 phase of a rep. This is incredibly important when it comes to standardization of what you’re doing during a set.

.

Back to range of motion- as of late in the industry people have been off their rocker about emphasizing the lengthened position in an exercise. Dr. Scott took a few days, before the episode to brush up on what the current body of literature is suggesting when it comes to whether it’s best to train a muscle through a full range of motion, partial, or emphasize the lengthened position.

.

I couldn’t think of anyone better to have a deep dive on this topic with, thank you for your time Dr. Scott!!
