The way a joint moves is influenced by its structure, as well as the surrounding ligaments, tendons, and the individual's unique physiology.
This is why understanding anatomy goes beyond simply knowing where a muscle starts and finishes. We need to consider the joint structure and surrounding structure, tissue capacity, and individual physiology when we assess movement and select exercises.
Ultimately, it's these factors that help determine how a joint truly moves—and how we should train within the parameters given and how we should push those parameters.
