Purpose
The current study compared the muscle excitation of the primary and stabilizer muscles during standing overhead press performed with either the barbell (barbell-OHP) or the kettlebells (kettlebell-OHP), using surface electromyography.
Methods
Ten male StrongFirst-certified instructors in the OHP, performed either the barbell-OHP or the ket...
The current study compared the spatial excitation of the primary muscles during the lat pull-down exercise with the bar passing in front (front-LPD) or behind the neck (back-LPD) using high-density electromyography. Fourteen resistance trained men performed a front-LPD or a back-LPD within a non-fatiguing set with 8-RM as the external load. The mus...
The current study analyzed the excitation of biceps brachii, brachioradialis, and anterior deltoid during bilateral biceps curl performed with different handgrips. Ten competitive bodybuilders performed bilateral biceps curl in non-exhaustive 6-rep sets using 8-RM with the forearm in supinated, pronated, and neutral positions. The ascending and des...
