    Author : August Ahlebrand; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Pre-exhausting a synergist prior to a compound exercise has been shown to alter the firing patterns in the muscles during the exercise. Pre-exhausting a muscle is done by exercising a muscle group to fatigue with a single joint exercise prior to an exercise. READ MORE
