What is Reciprocal Inhibition? Reciprocal Inhibition is a fundamental concept where when one muscle (the Agonist) contracts, the opposing muscle (the Antagonist) relaxes. This ensures smooth and efficient movement. Understanding this helps in programming workouts and improving client sessions. Although it's challenging, mastering this concept is crucial for fitness professionals. 💪Muscles Work in Pairs:Agonist (contracts) and Antagonist (relaxes). 💪Occurs in All Contractions: Concentric, Eccen

Here’s how it works: when one muscle (or muscle group) contracts, the antagonist muscle (or muscle group) has to turn off in order to allow movement. If the goal is to stretch, soften, and lengthen the quadriceps muscle group, we can activate the hamstrings (forcing the quads to turn off) and then move the quads into a stretch. This helps the quads relax and soften before we move them into a stretch. This principle can be appl
