Although being at the lower end of the body might be important in maintaining goid circulation.
- RobertoG 11y agoThe gluteus are the largest muscles. I imagine this is a factor, even if the development of all the muscles have proportionally the same effect.
- raverbashing 11y agoHere's the thing, you don't/can't "isolate" development of a muscle, especially a big one Working out has systemic (anabolic) effects
- makeset 11y ago> you don't/can't "isolate" development of a muscle This is not true at all. You may be confusing it with the assertion that you can't isolate individual heads of a particular muscle. Yes, training has some systemic effect through hormonal activity, but muscle anabolism is very highly specific to local stimulus. Otherwise we'd all be just doing curls and watch our legs grow. For a comically extreme example of localized functional muscle hypertrophy, search for the armwrestler Matthias "Hellboy" Schlitte :)
- raverbashing 11y agoYes, if you focus your training on one specific muscle, especially if it's a small one (arms basically) you will cause said muscle to be hypertrophied But you can bet Matthias Schilitte doesn't stand all day training only said muscles (also he has a genetic problem)
