Understanding the Resistance Curve and the Strength Curve of a Muscle

The direction of resistance - relative to the position of the body and relative to the
operating lever of the target muscle - is one of the most important factors in evaluating
resistance exercise.

This video deals with how the direction of resistance influences the Resistance
Curve, and how we can select exercises that are “early phase loaded”, or modify them
so that they are “early phase loaded”.

Exercises that are “early phase loaded” are generally more productive and build muscle more efficiently than exercises that are “late phase loaded”, because they match the strength curve of most skeletal muscles.
