It’s described as an evaluation of muscle tension or how hard a muscle becomes during exercise. More specifically, EMG amplitude is a measure of motor unit activity during muscle action. EMG can be described as the study of electricity in muscles. EMG is recorded by placing electrodes on muscle groups in an effort to record electrical impulses. Exercises will be evaluated by their electromyographical (EMG) amplitude. Five categories will be considered: the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, hip adductors, and hip flexors. I will try my best to avoid choosing the same exercise in different muscle categories. The idea that a natural lifter needs 20 sets of 5 different exercises all targeting the same muscle group is misguided time wasting. Once you trigger muscle protein synthesis, it’s time to leave the gym. Unless you’re a juice up horse with a needle in your butt, you don’t need to spend two hours in the gym to maximize efficiency. In an effort to save the natural lifter time and energy, I’m going to pick two exercises which have the highest muscle activation in the lower body.
