Understanding Musculoskeletal Design is Critical to Determining Which Exercises Are Ideal

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.
