Can someone please briefly explain Antagonist Training and in which order I should work my muscle groups?
At the moment i’m working like this in each session i.e. a total body workout:
legs/shoulders
chest/back
arms/abdominals
Thanks Shire.
Antagonistic training refers to putting opposite movements back to back.
Like a Hoizontal push (Bench) with a Horizontal Pull (bent over row)
or a vertical push (shoulder press) with a vertical pull (Pull up)
or a quad dominant exercise (squat) with a hip dominant excercise (deadlift).
legs/shoulders isn’t antagonistic, you can make a circuit with these two body parts, but they aren’t antagonistic
same with arms and abs, pairing them can be effective to keep gym time down and heart rate up, forces more work into shorter time period, but are not antagonistic.
hope that helps.
Thank you PozzSka.
