Overloading your muscles created change in the formation and grows new muscle fibres making them bigger, stronger and creating muscle tone.
This exercise got me thinking about how we overload our muscles.
- heavier weight often leads to smaller range of motion meaning you will be overloading your muscles but not through there full range of motion...often meaning to don't hit the full muscle...it will still make a change but is it that functional?
- lighter weight often means you can take your motion further and hit the muscles that work at the end of the motion perhaps making you more agile and functional in the everyday
- both do a job but sometimes it's worth remembering that heavier weight isn't the only way to make changes and build muscle and that's ok
This pendulum swing matching certainly made me feel humble 😂
- focusing on range of motion, speed and time under tension can all play a part in building muscle and making changes to your body composition.
