Short / Mid / Long Range
- Movements are categorised by the most leveraged part of their range. When the muscle is working hardest.
- Small variations in joint rotation can add to the stimulus and are recommended.
- Either change within sets (for sets of 20+ repetitions) or between sets (for sets of less than 20 reps) moving between 3 variations.
eg. spider curls in the pronated, neutral or supinated positions or toes turned in, neutral or out.
- As you experience these movements it will become more intuitive to know if a movement is short or long range dominant.
- This is not BLACK & WHITE - there will be some connective tissue damage with short range movements and most “full-range” movements have some short and long range stimulus.
- We’re identifying the dominant stimulus to have the best results.
