📊Exploring muscle science, rep by rep Researcher at AUT SPRINZ | PhD(c) at UNIMI
🆕 New paper out! Using HD-sEMG, we compared fixed vs free scapular positions in the seated row. ➡️ Overall muscle excitation was similar, but spatial and phase-specific differences emerged.

New publication out! We analysed front vs. back overhead press with HD-sEMG, exploring how each variation changes muscle excitation across delts, pecs, traps, and triceps. Both lifts offer unique neuromuscular profiles—great tools for different goals. Read it here ⬇️

High-Density Surface Electromyography Excitation in Front vs. Back Overhead Press Prime Movers
The current study compared the spatial excitation of the prime movers when performing the overhead press with the barbell passing in front (front-OHP) or behind the neck (back-OHP) using high-density surface electromyography (HD-sEMG). Fourteen resistance trained men performed both exercises...

I’m glad to share this publication, part of my PhD project. We used HD-sEMG to explore how different grips in the seated row affect muscle excitation: 🔹Narrow grip → higher latissimus dorsi excitation 🔹Wide grip → greater trapezius and deltoid involvement

High-Density Surface Electromyography Excitation of Prime Movers in the Narrow vs. Wide Grip Seated Row Exercise
The current study compared the spatial excitation of prime movers during the seated row with a narrow (narrow-SR) or a wide grip (wide-SR) using high-density surface electromyography (HD-sEMG). Fourteen resistance-trained men performed both variations of the exercise using 8-RM (repetition...
