Upper Body

Resistance Training

� Resistance training is a matter of physics as much as it is biomechanics.

� All forces other than God can be classified as either a push or a pull.

� Muscles only pull. However some combinations of muscle pulls and resulting joint motions will create a pushing force.

� Therefore all compound upper body resistance training exercises can be classified as either a push or a pull as opposed to relating them to a specific muscle group.

� Isolated joint motion exercises can also be classified by their joint motion versus the muscles we may be targeting.
