A principal exercise that can place greater absolute intensity<\/em> on muscles exercised relative to auxiliary exercises. Basic exercises tend to have more of the following characteristics:<\/strong><\/p>\n The scientific definition for an Auxiliary Workout is as follows:<\/p>\n An optional exercise that may supplement a basic exercise. Auxiliary exercises may place greater relative intensity<\/em> on a specific muscle or a head of a muscle.<\/strong><\/p>\n Next up in the classification is the “Mechanic” of the workout.\u00a0 We have two options here, and it’s pretty straightforward.\u00a0 A Compound Movement is one which involves two or more joint movements.\u00a0 Examples include the Bench Press<\/a>, Dead Lift<\/a>, Squat<\/a>, Bent Over Row<\/a>, Military Press<\/a>, etc.\u00a0 The other mechanic is an “Isolation” workout.\u00a0 An isolation workout is “an exercise that involves just one discernible joint movement.”\u00a0 Examples include Bicep Curls<\/a>, Wrist Curls<\/a>, Dumbbell Fly<\/a>, etc.<\/p>\n Now, you’ll notice that the examples given for the compound workouts are exercises that everyone talks about, and are also the exercises that determine your actual strength and physical prowess.\u00a0 The reason for this is. . .\u00a0 Well, that’s a whole post on it’s own.\u00a0 Expect that soon!\u00a0 All that you should know for now is that 90% of your workouts should be compound movements.<\/p>\n The last part to workout classification is the Force.<\/p>\n The force of the movement is simple:\u00a0 Push, or Pull.\u00a0 Is the movement going away from, or toward the center of the body during the “Concentric Contraction”?\u00a0 (An example of Concentric Contraction is when you push the barbell up during the Bench Press<\/a>.)<\/p>\n We will continue to discuss Kinesiology over a few blog posts, but this is the start of it.\u00a0 Tune in on Monday for our Special New Year post!<\/p>\n\n
