UPDATED 2017 - MORE HANDS-ON Practical Skill. What is the difference between a “pull-up and a pull down, flat, incline or decline bench press, a push-up or a chest press?” Does your body know if its pulling down or up? Is there a difference? This course will introduce and apply essential biomechanical principles to resistance training exercise in order to analyze, assess and progress exercise in a functional manner and differentiate “Gym Science” from “Exercise Science”. Attendees are expected be prepared for a hands-on experience and participation is required.

What is the difference between a “pull-up and a pull down, flat, incline or decline bench press, a push-up or a chest press?” Does your body know if its pulling down or up? Is there a difference? This course will introduce and apply essential biomechanical principles to resistance training exercise in order to analyze, assess and progress exercise in a functional manner and differentiate “Gym Science” from “Exercise Science”. A review of the joints (glenohumeral, scapulothoracic) their functions, the upper trunk muscles (mostly the superficial), and their mechanical ability at various joint angles and lengths will set the basis for analyzing several chest and back exercises on the gym floor. Attendees are expected be prepared for a hands-on experience and participation is required.

Objectives and Goal:

  • Introduce the structural and functional components of the upper trunk muscles and joints specific to the chest and back.
  • Present an analysis process to assess the safety and mechanical efficiency of trunk muscle exercises for the chest and back.
  • Participants will be able to: Analyze, manipulate, progress and correct exercise mechanics to improve movement efficiency and adaptive responses.
