I know I'm late in asking this...but... what sources are ya'll using for muscles used during particular exercises? I mean outside of the few that are in the book? I'm finding some exercises that are not in the book...the disk that comes with the musculoskeletal anatomy book just list "flexion, extension" etc... have I missed something? I know to study the "hip extensors" etc but some of the exercises I am not familiar with...
I know this is a dumb question but just thought I'd ask in case ya'll had some other sources.....
Shoulder -Adductors, infraspinatus, medial deltoid, pec maj, lat Abductors,deltoids middle, supraspinatus extensors, post deltoid flexors, ant deltoid,pec maj then do them in the transverse plain
Hip Abductors glut. med. and min.
Hip Adductors add. brevis, longus, magnus, gracillis
then you can take it a step farther by naming the prime movers, stabilizers, etc for any given movement..

if you haven't already this is a good list of muscle movements on a given exercise

okay....I just realized...doing your quiz...that the shoulder is where I am struggling and matching correct exercises. for example.. I am getting shoulder abduction ( horizontally...moving the arm out to the side, in the frontal plane, right?) confused with abduction (I guess that would be in the traverse plane...but wouldn't that also be shoulder flexion? no..traverse is rotational, right?) I tell you...I have been confused from the "git go" (sorry...another southern term) with the planes..they're just "over my head" ( sorry..couldn't resist!)
So that is why it is difficult for me to name the appropriate muscles with a particular exercise regarding the shoulder.and actually the back, too. I think I have the lower extremities. At least I know I really need to focus on the shoulder groups...if I can figure out which direction they're moving!
Thanks for that website...I'm going to park it there for a while. I actually bought the book by Delavier for women, but guess what is missing.....you guessed it..there are not any shoulder exercises!..
Thank you for making me feel comfortable asking such questions!!
BTW, we barely got my son home from AK...he loved it! (Especially when he caught a 26 lb sheefish and got to drive a 4 wheeler 12 miles to the next village! That was right up his alley!!)
uuhhhmmm you confused me...lol horizontal abduction(transverse plane) is like doing a bench press...the horizontal and transverse plane are one in the same it is just easier to say horizontal and not get a blank stare when you talk to someone
transverse is rotational around a vertical axis like when you rotate the torso or turn your head or take the arm from an abducted position to a flexion position in the horizontal plane the arm is still rotating around the vertical axis
shoulder:
flexion-raise to the front
extension-lower to trunk and past
abduction-away from side
adduction-down to side
horizontal adduction-starts with the shoulder already abducted then moves to the centerline of the body to a shoulder flexion position
horizontal abduction-starts with the shoulder in flexion in front of the body and moves away from center line into the abducted position
hope that this helped some
26lbs thats a pretty good sized sheefish I bet that was fun because that particular fish is a fighter

Gotcha!! The "transverse plane" just kinda confused me..... Thanks so much for the website! My trouble was not being familiar with the names of some of the exercises, therefore not being able to name correct movement. I've been on that website just becoming familar with the names and movements.
sorry..couldn't resist!)
