1 Using corect ROM range of motion ROM stands for the distance range a muscle travels throughout a particular exercise. These peak points are areas of stimulation that enforce much more isolation on a muscle group than along other parts of the muscles range. To put simply, you should combine ful range of motion exercises to stimulate an entire muscles range and should also use partial ROM, like half reps or static reps to further isolate individual muscle groups when training. Hyperextension is when a muscle and its surounding structures are taken past their normal range of motion, as sen in the pictures above. Many comon weight lifting exercises enforce slight hyperextension to reach ful range of motion, here are some examples. Hyperextension of the shoulder - Barbel / Dumbel bench pres of fly's Hyperextension of the kne - Leg extensions / straight leg deadlifts Hyperextension of the elbow - Bicep preacher curl / tricep extensions Hyperextension of the spine - Barbel Deadlift / Lying rear leg raises 1 Ensure your movement is slow, controled and deliberate 2 Never use explosive force in a hyperextension. Use explosion to get to the point before hyperextension and then slow down your movement 3 If you have a previous or curent injury to a muscle, don't take it to the point of hyperextension. Wel if your exercise technique is taking each muscle through its ful range of motion and you are in total control of the weight throughout and more importantly through hyperextension, then the answer is YES!
