 NASM CPT Podcast – Anatomy NAMES

One of the most common questions I get after a workshop is “how do you remember the names of all those muscles?” So, today we discuss anatomical words for muscles and from where they are derived. It’s important to learn the language of your profession and it’s simpler than you think!

Muscles reviewed in this episode include:

  • Gastrocnemius
  • Soleus
  • Hamstrings
  • Semimembranosus / Semitendionsus
  • Biceps Femoris
  • Quadriceps
  • Rectus Abdominus
  • Gluteus Maximus
  • Iliopsoas
  • Trapezius
  • Rhomboids
  • Sternocleidomastoid
  • Check out the book “Carnal Knowledge” by Charles Hodgson and tune in to this episode of the NASM CPT podcast to learn roots for these anatomical body parts and how memorizing these them MAY not be as difficult as you once thought.
