They matter on all lifts.

There are also skeletal advantages and disadvantages.

Insertions have no bearing on force production because everyone's tendons insert into the same place anatomically. Where insertions start to matter is the limit to how much muscle you can put on, allowing you to produce more force.

Depends on what you mean by “matter”

Just get in there and lift, eat, sleep and see what your genetics has conferred upon you

skeletal is obvious one, but always wanted to know do a guy with a short chest have the same power output as someone with long one

I remember Frank Yang talking about shorter muscles being more explosive, but who tf knows with him. I've also heard of long bellies having greater strength potential in the long run (just takes longer to build).

Random fuks over here seem to corroborate these things. Seems like it's not a big deal overall though.

Yeah i dont think people have any clue what origins and insertions actually are. Lets look at the Bench Press and the pectorals



The pectoralis major inserts on the medial aspect of the humerus and to get a full activation of a muscle, you first need to get the origin and insertion points as far away from each other as possible (a stretch) and then bring them as close together as possible (contraction) but both in a safe manner. If the insertion point is not in the same place on the humerus then the force generation would be extrememly varied because the momentum arm would be vastly differnet. THis principle is the exact same int he biceps too because i see this type of flawed logic applied there all the time

good post, so do all people have the same origin and insertion ? so the longer distance between these two points can generate more momentum ?

DNA coding. Its basic instructions in all people. If the pec major DIDNT insert on the humerus, then the muscle cant act on that joint and you wouldnt be able to generate as much force on the BP because only the coracobrachialis would be doing the work. If the insertion was farther down the arm (toward the elbow), then you'd be stronger because you'd have greater mechanical advantage but your shoulder and arm would be deformed looking. Our arm pits look the way they do because of where the insertion point is. Move the insertion down and that area deforms a bit more each time

I've always had the impression, especially from wrestling that people with really long muscles feel way stronger. But no clue if bro sceince, my imagination or just a coincidence due to small sample size.

Thx for the explanation.
What causes muscles (especially bis) looking longer or shorter?

Yes, it’s called leverage.

This OP but it has nothing to do with insertions.
