| Doug Brignole's Biomechanical Analysis of the Squat Posted: 21 Nov 2020 11:51 PM PST Hi, I have recently been exposed to the ideas of Doug Brignole and on the face of it, they seem convincing. Essentially, he's saying that you should try to perform exercises which load the target muscles in the most efficient way which would allow you to use lower weights. He recently had a free seminar "Isolation vs. Compound" (https://online.smarttraining365.com/masterclass-video/) where he did a biomechanical analysis of the barbell back squat (starts at the 37:30 mark) and said that it is an poor exercise *for the quads* for the following reasons:
So he says that this forces you to load your spine with a lot of weight and risk injury (if your technique breaks). In comparison, he says that on a sissy squat your tibia is almost horizontal, so the lever is 83% active and the quads end up getting much more resistance, even with a bodyweight sissy squat. I've never seen people analyze the squat this way - it's usually just with moment arms, but never have I seen someone mention that tibial angle matters here. Can anyone who is a biomechanics expert help me figure out whether his biomechanical analysis of the Squat makes sense (and whether the torque calculation makes any sense)? P.S. In one of his videos, there was a comment thread where someone also called him out for this, but I couldn't understand the explanations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dB_Rvcx7hmk&lc=Ugyk9MKKiwSUxuOHE5N4AaABAg [link] [comments] |
| Lost 10 kg in 5-6 months with discipline Posted: 22 Nov 2020 04:44 AM PST Hey all So I was 75 kg, 5'8" in July this year, I decided to lose extra fat and followed a routine - eating same things as I did before with 2 changes - cutting out junk food and eating 1700 calories daily. Did not need any special diet. I ate normal home cooked meal and to boost metabolism, I did exercise 5 days a week- some light weight training. Now I weigh 64.8 kg and feel a lot better now.

| Posted: 22 Nov 2020 04:30 AM PST I don't get it, this keeps happening. Symptoms are all round fatigue, headache, feeling weak, sometimes sleepy and dizziness but not always. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I don't understand why it does not happen for strength training. [link] [comments] |
