Tip of the Day: Leading versus lagging muscle groups can alter your results. Let’s set some terms. Leading muscle groups refers to the muscles that you’ve developed more than others; lagging muscle groups would be the muscle groups that are less developed or strengthened as compared to others. For instance, when looking at quadriceps and hamstrings, one muscle group may be stronger. How does this affect workouts and results. Well, in compound movements, which are exercises that engage more than one muscle group (ie: squats), the leading muscle group will take over. Personally, my quads are stronger than my hamstrings, so when I begin squatting, I will feel the movement more in my quads because they are taking on more of the workload, making it more difficult to engage the hamstrings and glutes. The best way to account for muscle imbalances is to incorporate isolating exercises. In my case that would mean I should add in movements like hamstring curls, glute kickbacks, etc.
