The answer isn't your muscles—it's biomechanics. In Part 2 of this Biomechanics of Resistance Training series, Dr. Mohammed Paika explains the hidden principles that determine how strong you really are. You'll learn how leverage, moment arms, mechanical advantage, tendon insertions, torque, and different types of muscle contractions affect every lift you perform. Whether your goal is building muscle, getting stronger, improving athletic performance, or simply understanding how your body works, these concepts will completely change the way you approach resistance training. In this video you'll learn: What moment arms are and why they matter Mechanical advantage vs. mechanical disadvantage Why the same weight can suddenly feel much heavier Why some people seem naturally stronger How tendon insertions influence strength and speed Strength vs. power explained Concentric, eccentric, and isometric muscle contractions Why eccentric training is so effective for muscle growth How work, force, and power affect your workouts If you're serious about lifting smarter—not just harder—this series is for you. 👍 If you enjoyed this video, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and turn on notifications so you don't miss Part 3, where we'll apply biomechanics to real-world lifting technique and injury prevention. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 Intro 0:45 What Is a Moment Arm? 3:55 Why the Same Weight Feels Heavier 5:08 Mechanical Advantage Explained 8:05 How Machines Change Leverage 9:10 Mechanical Disadvantage & Muscle Growth 11:32 Why Lateral Raises Feel So Hard 13:10 Genetics & Tendon Insertions 15:28 Why Some People Are Naturally Stronger 17:02 Strength vs. P…","meta_description":"#Biomechanics #StrengthTraining #BuildMuscle #ExerciseScience #DrPaika Why do some exercises make the exact same weight feel so much heavier?
