In this Portuguese monologue, the speaker rebuts the notion that criticism of training methods should be dismissed when results are positive. He argues that a specific chest exercise, which involves adduction, does not effectively build the pectoral muscles. Citing electromyography (EMG) research, he explains that high muscle activation measured by EMG is not a reliable predictor of hypertrophy. He points out that literature shows exercises with high EMG activation can still produce low hypertrophy, while others with lower activation can be more effective. The speaker concludes that some exercises are genuinely beneficial for muscle growth, while others are essentially useless.
