Physical Therapy student here, also who lifts. I had confusion about what a moment arm is. Nice explanation with the drawing. I like where you are going with this. I am very interested in making exercise match the strength profile of the muscle all throughout the range of motion of an exercise. Thank you.
I've followed you on instagram for a while but this is my first time coming across your UA-cam Channel. Love the in depth explanation. Biomechanics has always confused me but you explained it well. Thank you.
Coming from a math lecturer(me), I must say you did really well in not thinking your students are idiots but not confusing them unnecessarily, well done Sir.
Omg. I am so happy I found this. Your explanation was 💯. I had no idea and your video made it seem so easy and loved the application to real life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Good lesson. You can clearly see how the angle affects torque with the same dumbbell lateral raise but it you lay sideways on a bench or the floor. Now max torque is when the weight is closer to the ground and gets easier on the way up.
Thank you for explaining what a moment arm is! I’m studying to be a Personal Trainer and was finding the description in my text wasn’t that easy to understand, this helped a lot, much appreciated
I'm not sure who the audience is, but our professor for a Master's program required us to watch this video. Either She thinks we're stupid or you should probably step it up a few notches. For all "intents and purposes", we get it!
Hello ...could you please drop a video explaining the difference moment arm, lever arm, force arm, effort arm & load arm...I am all confused in between these...Will really appreciate
You know, as a LONG TIME weight lifter, who is 6'4 (with ABNORMALLY long legs) I was initially surprised seeing this formula didn't contain any squares. (Torque = F x Moment Arm.) After all, It isn't normal to bench MORE than you can SQUAT. Yet... I do. Then, I thought about it deeper: For the case of weight lifting, the FORCE we are exerting on our muscles is equal to the mass of the weight, multiplied by the acceleration of gravity. (For simplicity, I'm going to assume our lifts are completely vertical, this way we can eliminate all of the sin/cos/trig.) So, while none of the variables are indeed SQUARED, when calculating Torque, the mass of the weight is multiplied by TEN (as gravity = 9.8 m/s/s), and THEN it's multiplied by length of moment arm. Consequently, this implies that when squatting VERY LIGHT WEIGHT, the disparity in torque (catalyzed by the difference in moment arm length) could be minimal, maybe even negligible, in terms of human experience. However, the SHEER AMOUNT OF TORQUE ramps up VERY FAST as you increase weight/mass, because it's being multiplied by 10. I've been thinking about this for 20 minutes now, it's actually quite interesting when considered from human experience. Moral of the story: Now I can blame gravity when I'm ez-repping 225LB"s on bench, yet getting out-squatted by tiny women. XD
Wouldn’t it always be 90 degrees w/ the shoulder? Giving the Range of motion a shoulder has. The distance of your arms won’t change from top to bottom if it’s straight out.

This definitely gave me a better understanding of what the heck a moment arm and torque are

Fantastic Joe, you’ve made something fairly complex, seem relatively simple. Tom Purvis would be proud!
omg thank u sm, I literally passed the test after this video ngl
You work so hard 😕
You deserve 100 million ☺️
What would we do without you. 😮
Why does my man not have millions of followers and subs 😢
Your videos are seriously the best for bodybuilding!!!😍😍😍keep up the good work, i wanna create a fanclub of you😂
Such a great simple explanation.

XD
best video ever. loved it
phenomenal break down, thanks for the video.
really useful and helpful information
Thank you so much
Keep going
YAAAAAAY 🤓
LESGOOOOO 💪🤓
Love it 🙏 Thanks, Joe!
Love your videos like this!
Another great video!
Makes a lot of sense.
great explanation!!. TY
so is bench press superior than push ups? that is the most important question. inverted rows vs rows?
Genius
How does the line of force move with a cable instrument?
The profile of a lateral raise is what it is because of gravity right? So lying cable curls would have a difference resistance profile no?
Where is part 2???
You and Julien Pineau, Strongfit should do a podcast together.

Hi sir I from Pakistan your lecture ❤
Quality
am I getting from this that lateral raises with dumbells is a waste of time to maximise growth?
Can still grow with them. Just arguably not as efficient
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
👏👏👏👏👏🤜🤛
First
If we wait a moment
And be very quiet
Then maybe
Just maybe
There might fall a fuck in my hand that I can give you.
Still nothing though.

yeah because of that
