Chapter 7, "Games and Explorations III: Monkeying Around with the Voice," is about a position or posture referred to as the "monkey" in which all the parts are in dynamic balance, thus being at a mechanical advantage to the singer. I feel they are of particular relevance to triathletes, who--through their movement in water, with the mechanical advantage of a bike, and finally on land--run the gamut of vigorous exercise. While it is impossible to ideally match everyone's exact points of mechanical advantage and disadvantage along their specific strength curve, the slight variance in resistance usually provides the lifter with a more evenly distributed load throughout the exercise's range of motion. |
