Thank you Mike for this explanation for Reciprocal Inhibition. I am studying and working on taking my GFI exam and this term really confuses me. Plus now I need to understand what Altered Reciprocal Inhibition is as well. Tricky stuff for a newbie into the Fitness industry. I am a Zumba instructor for seniors and originally from Forest Hills, NY.
These concepts and terms can be difficult for some people but you explain it so coherently and simply!! amazing physique by the way, you remind me of my thirties ;)
Hi David, it can be confusing with compound movements. There are always "co contractions" (simultaneous activation of muscles on opposite sides of a joint). You can try to break down each muscle in the movement. For example, the gluteus maximus does hip extension, so the hip flexors such as iliacus would be the antagonist. It can get really confusing with muscles that cross two joints, such as the hamstrings. This is because the hamstrings actually don't really change length when you're squatting. I hope this helps.

Great video Mike ! One question when doing a squat which works all the muscles in the legs which is the antagonist ? Thanks DC
