DEFINITION
• A muscle is said to be under continuous tension when LOG and LOR are
directly proportional to each other throughout the Range of Motion(ROM).
LOR
LOG
LETS UNDERSTAND WHAT IS LOG?
• LOG stands for Line of Gravity. It’s a line in which gravity pulls the object
towards itself.
• It is always perpendicular to the floor.

• For Example
• If you drop a object, such as ball, ruler anything It will follow a straight line
to the floor, and that is due to Line of Gravity.
UNDERSTANDING LOR
• LOR stands for Line of Resistance. It’s a line in which we oppose the gravity
and put our efforts.
• For example, we perform deadlift, we perform the squats, we do the bench
press.
• We have 2 faces of a rep, one is towards the gravity and 2nd is against the
gravity.
• In against the gravity phase we put efforts and challenges the muscle.
