fix yourself




topic today

Reciprocal Inhibition
muscles that oppose each other are engaged and disengaged sequentially to produce coordinated movement

for example, a footballer running back can experience a "misfiring" of motor units and end up simultaneously contracting the quads and hamstrings during a hard sprint. If these muscles, which act opposite to each other are fired at the same time, at a high intensity, a tear can result. The stronger muscle, usually the quadriceps in this case, overpowers the hamstrings. This sometimes results in a common injury known as a pulled hamstring.

Understanding your body is key
Listening to your body is EVEN BETTER

If a muscle is "tight" you might not want to "stretch" it
the tightness may come from the fact that it is stretched to the max
due to an overactive antagonist muscle

aka stretching is not always good
