Understanding Musculoskeletal Design is Critical to Determining Which Exercises Are Ideal
05/13/21 • 22 min
Former Mr. America and Mr. Universe, Doug Brignole explains why being familiar with our musculoskeletal design is so important, for the purpose of exercise selection. All skeletal muscles produce a specific anatomical motion, which is defined by its “origin” and its “insertion”. Muscles all pull their corresponding limb toward that muscle’s origin, and this determines its natural pathway. Therefore, the ideal pathway for an exercise intended for that particular muscle should mimic that muscles natural pathway. Any movement that differs from that specific anatomical motion will produce diminished muscular development benefit, commensurate with the degree to which that motion differs from the muscle’s actual natural pathway. This is one of the 16 Brignolean Principles of Biomechanics, for optimal resistance exercise.

Understanding the Physics of the Human Anatomy
Former Mr. America and Mr. Universe, Doug Brignole talks about how the body is a mechanical device, similar to a crane. Therefore, all the standard principles of physics that apply to pulleys and levers also apply to the body. Understanding and utilizing these principles allows us to maximize muscle loads without straining the skeleton, spine and joints. Doug explains why it’s foolish to not know these principles, if a person is serious about optimizing muscular development—especially for trainers who are charged with the task of keeping their clients safe and of optimizing their benefits.

Misguided Exercise Trends and Poorly Designed Exercise Machines
Former Mr. America and Mr. Universe, Doug Brignole talks about how the over-commercialization of the fitness industry has leads millions of consumers, including most trainers, down a path of compromised results and elevated injury risk. Rather than catering to people's biomechanical requirements, the industry has catered to what is most marketable, with little regard for scientific truth. The result is an industry is complete disarray, confusion and false beliefs.
