Single-muscle tracking
Focus on one key muscle when the session goal is simple: teach a target muscle to fire, confirm an isolation exercise, or help a beginner feel the right tissue working.
For example, place the sensor on the pectorals during a bench press when you want to reduce over-reliance on the front delts.
- Best for isolation exercises like curls, lateral raises, leg extensions, and calf raises.
- Useful when building mind-muscle connection.
- Simple enough for a first client session or first sensor demo.
Multi-muscle diagnostics
For compound movements, rotate the sensor across multiple muscles over several sets. This gives you a more complete picture of the movement pattern without overcomplicating the first set.
During squats, compare quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings across similar sets to understand whether the client is using the pattern you intend.
Left versus right comparison
Run the same set on each side of the body with the sensor in the same relative position. Keep load, tempo, range, and rest as consistent as possible.
- Use this for return-to-training checks, unilateral work, and recurring asymmetry screens.
- A 10-15% side-to-side difference is worth watching and may justify more unilateral work.
- Track the same comparison over several sessions before making big programming decisions.
