Bayesian Cable Curl: Lengthened Tension
Deney kodu: EXP.2026.BAY-005 · Durum: completed
Kısa cevap
An 8-week biomechanical intervention testing stretch-mediated hypertrophy on the bi-articular long head of the biceps brachii. Assesses lengthened cable torque curves and terminal partials on regional muscle volume.
Hipotez
Applying peak mechanical tension in the lengthened position (shoulder extension) and adding 3 lengthened partials on the final set will increase micro-tears and yield higher hypertrophic adaptation (arm circumference).
Metodoloji
Bayesian cable curls performed with torso angled slightly forward, arm positioned in shoulder extension behind torso. 3-second eccentric phase strictly enforced, plus 3 lengthened partials on the final set.
Katılımcılar
Örneklem: N=1 (Individual)
Kontrol değişkenleri
Cable height (pin #2), distance from machine (1.2m), 3-second eccentric phase.
Sonuç
Hypothesis validated: Bayesian curls with lengthened partials stimulated +0.8 cm arm circumference growth across 8 weeks.
Pratik çıkarım
Positioning the elbow behind the shoulder on cable curls subjects the long head to extreme stretch-mediated hypertrophy, yielding significant arm circumference gains when finished with lengthened partials.
