MUSCLE AND THEIR MEANINGS |
(abstracted from EXPERIENCELIFE)
SIZE.....refers to how big your muscle can be,although actual muscle girth is not as important as having a body that is symmetrical. You don't want Popeye sized forearm and spindly legs, or huge quads and an emaciated torso. In body building, like yoga, the best bodies are not the biggest but are those with perfect proportions.
SHAPE.....describes a pleasing pattern in the lines of muscles, such as cannon-ball delts, horshoe triceps, diamond calves and washboard abdominals. Good shape comes from doing your resistance training with perfect form.
DEFINITION..... refers to the degree of prominence in a muscle. A bodybuilder with great definition is one whose muscles stand out in bold relief Definition is a function of diet more than training. Thin skin thatis low in fat allows whatever muscle you have to shoe more conspicuously. |
