    The anatomical position is a standard point of reference
    commonly used in human anatomy and physiology when
    describing certain anatomical terms and positions.

    Rotation
    2. MOTION

    1. Plane of rotation
    2. Axis of rotation
    PLANES OF MOTION
    Frontal Plane
    Divides your body in anterior and posterior

    Sagittal Plane
    Divides your body into right and left

    Transverse Plane
    Divides your body into superior and inferior

    Note : There are infinite no. of planes


    AXIS OF ROTATION
    The rotation point of the joint, the axis of
    rotation is always perpendicular to the
    plane of motion

    3. Torque
    4. Moment Arm
    5. External Moment Arm
    6. Internal Moment Arm
    7. Inertia
    8. Fast vs. Slow rep
    What is force? What is line of force?
    Path followed by a mass free to
    move in a gravitational field

    Dumbbells experience
    force due to gravity.
    What is torque? What is Moment Arm?
    Torque is the ability of Perpendicular distance
    force to cause rotation between axis of rotation and
    about an axis. line of force.
    Torque = Force * Torque = F * Moment Arm
    Perpendicular Distance

    Inertia increases with mass. because of inertia.
    It will also change the force
    You can also call it

    try doing slow & controlled

    PREACHER CURL

    External torque is great


    at internal torque can't
    match.
    Solution - Keep incline
    about 75 degrees instead
    of 45 degrees.
    TRICEPS KICKBACKS

    Your biceps are inolved in the


    front half of motion.
    In the second part external
    torque is strong and internal
    torque is weak.
    Dumbbell Press Dumbbell Fly
    The external moment is arm is

    weight.
    LATERAL RAISES
    Don’t bend your elbows a lot,
    for optimal torque on lateral
    delts and avoid internal
    rotation.
    Bend a bit forward to engage
    more of lateral delts.
    Raise arms only to shoulder
    length
    LAT PULL DOWN & ROWING

    Your lats are stronger when


    your arms are extended
    because of more internal
    moment arm.
    So try doing few partial reps
    after you finish your set.
    LAT PULL DOWN & ROWING

    Your lats are stronger when


    your arms are extended
    because of more internal
    moment arm.
    So try doing few partial reps
    after you finish your set.
    SCAPULAR PLANE

    The scapula doesn't sit in the


    frontal plane, but it is angled.
    Performing exercises in the
    scapular plane is more safer
    and natural.
    Perform exercises like OHP,
    lateral raises and dumbbell
    presses in scapular plane.
