Two-hand overhead throw?!
Question: What specific muscles does this plyometric exercise work?
Answers: What specific muscles does this plyometric exercise work?
The 2 handed overhead throw incorporates a lot of muscles that "activate" and "deactivate" at different points in the movement.
Off hand I can name a few extremely important muscles. The most important would be the Rotator cuffs which are a group of muscles (subscapularis, supraspinatous, infraspinatus and teres minor). Without these the shoulder would literally not function properly. I'd also say the Anterior Deltoid along with the Medial and possibly the Posterior.
Thats just the shoulder.
You would also make use of the Latissimus Dorsi to bring the shoulder forward.
And in the arm the Triceps would lay a key role in extending the arm.
You would also use the flexor and extensor muscles in the forearm to grip and let go of the object.
tricepts mainly, but also your delts and your biceps a little
This is a pushing motion, so it definitely works the triceps. It also works your chest. And, I'm sure it works your lower back as well.
Hi,
I've tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don't work!
A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss (it's actually a colon cleanse) and like many others I was skeptical about it. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it (it's 100% natural). The results were excellent. I lost about 20 pounds in 2 months with this detox. That's why I recommend you check this product at
http://news.google.gr/news/url?sa=T&ct=u... where they have a free trial and you only pay $4.95 shipping and handling.
Good luck!
