I've read this content many times and couldn't absorb the planes of motion concepts/examples to save my life. This video was awesome and now I will never forget! If I pass this test in a couple weeks it's going to be because of this man. 😂 THANK YOU!

[@thelvl1bandit345]

Holy shit, where have you been my whole life!!! this is by far the best explanation of the concept ive ever heard!! You deserve a gold star my dude! p.s. i needed this 10 years ago. ACE teaches the concept in the most esoteric way possible.

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

Haha! So glad that it was helpful!

[@vincz10]

Finally a video to really understand and remember the planes of motions. Thx

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

So glad you got something from this one! Such a simple concept that’s often not well explained in CPT courses.

[@vanessamese4389]

YES! Finally a clear and simple explanation! Thank you!

[@discounttomhardy4311]

pretty good explanation. im doing the nasm course and their explanation just doesn't explain it as easily to understand as this.

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

Unfortunately things often get over complicated. No reason it has to be that way!

[@diahm]

nice job! 👍 this helped me so much

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

Glad it helped!

[@realpapamorty]

Thank you. The course material is brutal. lol

[@virginiariggle549]

Wow, excellent explanations and & demonstrations, in this video and across your channel. Thank-you! Question: would you classify curtsy lunges as multi-planar? Or primarily in the frontal plane?

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

That's a tricky one, Virginia. There is a lot of frontal plane movement, but they do have a little movement is other planes. Truth is, many exercises have some movement in multiple planes. However, most questions pertain to where the majority of the action takes place.

[@HolyCity2012]

I'm going to need some headphones to hear this.

[@marioavila1235]

Thanks..... trying 2 get info so that I can use this terminology when teaching students Cuban motion ( Latin movement ) in Ballroom , As I demo which direction different parts of the body move 2 create Latin movement in dances like Cha Cha ,Salsa , Rumba .....

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

Wow, that's so cool!

[@SeanPClements]

Wow great content! Question, A Latt pulldown would be considered frontal plane correct?

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

Thanks for watching! Would be frontal plane dominant with a wider grip - the more narrow the grip the more it would work into the saggital plane, with a lot of variations being multiplanar based on how the shoulder and scapula move

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

If you’re adding in an additional transverse rotation to an exercise, wouldn’t you lower the weight at first?

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

Potentially!
