Muscles used in exercises

Question 1

Glider Reverse Lunge in SL squat

Answer 1

glutes, hamstrings, quads, core, and calves

Question 2

upper cut

Answer 2

deltoids (anterior, medial, and posterior)
biceps are involved in flexing the elbow during the punch
triceps are essential for extending the arm and delivering power
pectoralis major and minor aid in shoulder flexion and contribute to the punch’s power.
Serratus Anterior stabilizes the shoulder

rectus abdominis, obliques, and transverse abdominis stabilize the body and generate rotational power for the punch

Quads- initial power and stability
glutes-work with the core to transfer power from the lower body and create rotational force
Calves: These muscles assist in the initial push-off and movement, contributing to explosiveness.

Question 3

Surge squat press

Answer 3

surge is water filled weight with handles

the squat targets quads, gluteus Maximus, medius, minimus, and hamstrings

press portion: anterior deltoids are the primary muscles engaged in the overhead press, pushing the weight upwards, .
The abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis, obliques, and transverse abdominis) stabilize the spine and torso throughout the movement
The erector spinae, along with other back muscles, help maintain posture and spinal stability.
while not the primary movers, the triceps assist in extending the elbow during the press.

Hip Adductors: Located on the inner thigh, these muscles help stabilize the legs and hips, especially at the bottom of the squat.
Calves- Activated to a lesser extent during the squat and press, particularly when pushing up from the squat position.
