Strength coach Jeff Cavaliere CSCS frequently shares professional advice and insights on building muscle safely and sustainably, with a focus on biomechanics and technology. In a new video on the Athlean-X channel, Cavaliere explains how gymnasts and other gymnasts can exert such impressive strength in controlling their bodies in space. ..
Strength is certainly a very important factor in the ability of these athletes to perform such very difficult weight exercises, but Cavalier explains that it is not just about producing absolute strength, or force. To do. If so, he thinks Strongman and bodybuilders could do them.
“We need to consider the weight of the person exercising,” he says. “Often they will be lighter guys doing these exercises, but that’s where the notion of their relative strength comes out. They take their weight and many of us. You can command it in space in ways you can’t. “
Another element of the equation is leverage. “Basically, it has the ability to adjust the center of gravity in a way that effectively reduces weight,” says Cavaliere. “Even with these already light weights, they can take what’s there and make it lighter, and that’s the key.”
Gymnasts also know how to employ stable muscles for weight exercise. “This is where gymnasts learned the concept,” he said, explaining how to eliminate “looseness” from movements to reduce “energy leaks” and achieve more efficient and controlled execution. To do.
But these are not the only concepts that benefit gymnasts. Cavaliere believes it can be very effective in weight rooms as well. “Most of these exercises actually require a full range of movements,” he says. “Therefore, the time of tension generated by these exercises is off the chart. This not only gives you the ability to do the exercise well, but also the ability to move stronger as you perform.”
