They're saying it's difficult to explain how to isolate the muscle. For example, two simple ways to lift only your heel from a sitting position are:
1. Push down with the ball if you foot
2. Lift up with your hip/quad
They look the same, but are completely different. Do either of them activate the Soleus? Do neither of them?
- digdugdirk 4y ago^ This. Its not snake oil, its a statement from a scientist who attaches musculoskeletal monitoring equipment to people on a regular basis and knows exactly how capable the average person is at activating specific muscles on command.
- nibbleshifter 4y ago> and knows exactly how capable the average person is at activating specific muscles on command. "Basically terrible". It took me a really long time to work out what exactly the fuck "activate your core" meant. Never mind "activate this muscle you have never thought about before".
- Someone 4y ago#2 I would call a pull up or lift up, not a push up, so I assume it’s more like #1.
