3 steps to remembering agonist antagonist muscle pairs

3 steps to remembering agonist antagonist muscle pairs

Aaahhh muscles

As soon as you get your head around the origin and insertions you then need to know joint actions and antagonist pairs...

Let's break it down and keep it simple...

You need to start with 3 steps
1) pick the agonist muscle
2) know the joint action that occurs when the muscle contracts concentrically
3) relate it to an exercise....

Then use our grid framework to help you workout the antagonist muscle and opposite joint actions.

Draw out the grid and try it for at least two more Muscle pairs.

Let me know how you get on
