Isolating Bodyparts – Movement Patterns Vs Body Part Training – Isolating Movement Patterns
Isolating Movement Patterns clarifies the difference between isolating a body part or a pattern. Gray then gives examples of how he uses that difference to work toward success. What’s the difference between bridging, activating the glute and half-kneeling work? Listen in as he explains.
“Let me take you back to the neurodevelopmental sequence. The rolling, creeping, crawling, kneeling, squatting, stepping and standing babies go through is a natural isolation, but it’s not the kind of isolation we do when we ask for specific sets and repetitions in a region of the body. So many of the muscles don’t do in real life what the kinesiology book says they do.” ~Gray Cook

Tasher –
As always, Gray delivers! For those who are already familiar with Gray as a speaker, this lecture fits right in. Gray uses isolation! It’s a a great lecture to expand on the concept that while there is room for isolation, no muscle works on its own. If you need to single out a muscle, or a group of muscles, that’s fine. Just make sure they are reintegrated into the movement patterns because the brain does not know muscles, it knows movement.
