This is exactly what my parkour coach has talked about for years. He calls it 'overwriting the instructions for the nervous system' and it's super important. Thank you for another great explanation! :))
My much younger brother once called what I had "old man strength," because at 42 I could beat his muscle-bound friends at arm wrestling (with both hands). Now I know: Old man strength *is* neuromuscular strength.
This is why pullups transfer to lat pulldowns, but not vice versa. Someone who only trains lat pulldowns hasn't developed the neuromuscular pathways necessary to execute the pull up movement pattern, even though they've developed the muscles involved.
That's unfortunate for myself as i have been doing lat pull downs trying to get to 180lbs so it would be easier doing pull ups. I guess ill add them now to my routine.
@@ienjoyappleserm no it’d still get you strong enough to do pull ups it’s just that your body would have to learn the form and how to use the muscles when you get strong enough
@@Alaskan907don’t listen to him, he’s only halfway to knowing what he’s talking about. Pull downs will build the strength you need to do the pull up, you’ll just need to learn the movement pattern needed to execute the movement. You can do that in a few minutes and then become more efficient at them over time.
As a fighter this makes perfect sense. When i started i had more actual muscle than i do now but i have way more power now since ive only decreased skightly in muscle and learned how to use them better. You gotta load all the right areas and learn those micro techniques over time
This is why strong man carries are so effective in building strength endurance, it trains your core to brace for a long amount of time as well as training your arms to carry moderately heavy weight for long durations of time
I think this is super important especially first hand for me, still recovering 5 months ago from a knee surgery and now my biggest struggle is balancing out and actually using my muscles correctly again
This is one of the main reason why athletes, fighters, & geniuses abstain from sex or go celibate. Sex/orgasms are very taxing on the body especially on the nervous system. Abstaining for awhile pretty much super charges your nervous system, body, & brain bc of the amount of energy the body is saving, not having to worry about procreation.
You can train your CNS to get used to more and more fatigue. By doing high volume training. There are plenty of training styles that apply this, like Bulgarian Strength Training. The body adapts overtime. It's fucking rough tho. I tried it, wanted to die for 2 weeks, and adapted. Now I'm not training like that because of a lack of time. But in summer I'll do it again.
@@PlatiumBeats Idiotic take. Sex is actually good training and plenty of high level athletes and geniuses fucked like rabits. See Einstein, for instance. Do your research.
Back in college, I met this guy who didn’t look overly strong or jacked just a normal & fit guy. Turned out he was my University & the State’s, champion deadlifter.
Yes I agree somewhat or completely that I don't know I've been doing this knowingly or unknowingly that also I don't know and I'm saying I've done this because my body is the proof for that because I m doing pushups for last year and only push ups nothing else then also my legs, upper back, lower back, shoulders, core or I say my whole body is trained
Would not bulking, but keeping the same weight/diet, as well as also taking rests between PRs increase nervous system gains. Also, do you feel more sensitive to pain when taking this route?
The greasing thr groove method pertains to the second one as far as I am aware. What are the best ways which you know that one also apply this science/philosophy to their striking?
You can do the same basic principle for punching power pretty well. Just do single short rounds on the punching bag and methodically punch for power. GGG used to do this a lot. You don't want to punch fast or try to get a workout. Instead you punch with as perfect form for power as you can, then casually change your stance a little or move around the bag and punch again in the same way. I used to do 1 punch every 3-4 seconds for 2 minutes at a time. I would do one round after my warm up, just before boxing practice. And on my days off I would do 2-3 rounds throughout the day on my home heavy bag. I started that 3 years into boxing and my left hook went from an embracement to freak show power punch. I was 17 so I loved all the attention I got for it. Lol
It's such an awesome body YAH created, isn't it. I've experienced this. Some friends can curl more than me, but I can deadlift more than them. Some are better at weight training but they said I feel strong as heck when we wrestle. Note: I practice MMA.
HIIT mainly works mechanical strength, strength endurance and cardiovascular. It's often not great for neuromuscular efficiency because as you wear out close to the end of the sets your form will tend to degrade and you will start adapting the nervous system to poor form. I still love HIIT training, but if neuromuscular efficiency is something your interested in you can do a "Greasing the groove" program with the movements you want tot improve for 8-12 weeks and omit those same movements from your HIIT training for that time period. That will really improve the neuromuscular efficiency and at that point you can go back to HIIT training that movement pattern I try to keep good for throughout.
@@moversodyssey for sport based training, do you think its best to balance it by doing base training off season and neuromuscular on pre competition phase, or do both alternately without following the competition time period?
@@D29.H45 It can depend on the individual nature of the sport. But in general sport based activity is going to highly utilize the neuromuscular system anyway. So it's often a good idea to do neuromuscular specific training in the off season while your nervous system is less taxed and your likely taking a bit of a break from sport based movement patterns. However, neuromuscular training is also not very fatiguing on the muscles themselves. So I would often do neuromuscular training for sport specific patterns in the off season and while I'm in-season I would do neuromuscular training on the side for my non sport specific movements that I take a break from during season. So for me I used to do competitive boxing and the closest thing I had to a season was the lead up to golden gloves. In the off season I would do heavy bench press and neuromuscular training on the heavy bag for punching power. During season I had to stop bench because it made me too sore and slowed me down and I had to stop neuromuscular training my punches because I was punching thousands of times a day in training anyway. So in season I would 'Grease the groove" with light bench instead. It would keep my strength high for the next off season.
But keep in mind greasing the groove is something you do along side your normal workouts. I just keep one or two exercise slots open in my routine for greasing the groove and I switch out what movement patterns I'm doing every 8-12 weeks.
Good point. I appreciate it, that not many like u & me. They just hate & glaze without evidence most of the time, even when I purposely make weak topics & premises. Just for u, bc I can tell u care. I'll try a little. GER works on the principle of no action. Similar to casualty warpers that powers they don't activate they skip the process of action, cause & immediately effect the target, only to the users benefit to make the best out come possible by reversing cause, yes that means they'rnt even aware of it. At a smaller scale they can reverse a bullet back to the gun. At a universal scale u can guess, but a CW can only reverse cause of actions to 1. Unlike GER a casuality eraser. Like I said before casuality warpers & above r so broken in power that they aren't even aware that there was ever a threat, to so one born with that power, they wouldn't even know the experience of winning, let alone losing, as they're 2 sides of the same coin. GER said it himself, his master doesn't even know of his existence, let alone what will happen to Diavolo. On a smaller scale GER would reset the action of the bullet to not 1 but 0 & on a loop of existence erasure by reset in every single possibility the bullet perishes. Just incase, a difference between 1 to 0 doesn't seem like much, but I don't mean 0.1 but infinite 0, so it's plane of existence higher in diff.
Not sure your exact situation so I'll have to make some assumptions. But by leg day I'm going to assume you mean what most modern gym goers mean when they leg day, and thats a day dedicated to squats, deadlifts, leg curls, etc.. This can build strength and mass in the off season but its detrimental in season as it creates too much tension and soreness for you to be able to move properly in your sport. With martial arts there is rarely an off season. In my experience martial artists of any kind do much better by mixing in some full body exercises into their martial arts training. Something that will build strength without tearing your body down or making any one muscle group too sore at any one time. Kettlebell and calisthenics are in general really great for this and compliment martial arts training well. You can use them to increase strength, stamina, explosiveness and mobility all in one workout. Kettlebell swings, kettlebell clean and jerks, kettlebell snatches, turkish get ups, kettlebell clean into a rear lunge, gorilla rows, tyson push ups, deck squat jumps, archer push ups, bodyweight rows, cossack squats, these are all great for martial artists and are often slept on in favor of bodybuilding style exercises that only serve to slow you down and make you move more awkwardly. Sorry I rambled a bit, but hope it helps.
There’s also type two vs type 1 muscle fiber vs type 2a/2b and development of these, elastic tissue strength skeletal strength and lastly id include balance as a largely under looked at form of strength for its influence on that use of linked muscle systems between primary and secondary antagonists.could also include the difference of extension vs flexion strength and lung strength with importance of the diaphragms influence on power
Just as you mentioned the nervous system allows for activation of more muscle fibers with training, so do the lungs and diaphragm. More oxygenation equals fuller and more quantitatively targeted fibers. Also better oxygenated blood allows better enrichment of muscles which is critical.
@ZeusEBoy These are all good points. I'd like to add tendon strength to the equation. Having strong tendons seems to be overlooked often because proper form will bestow you with them whether you planned to have them or not

This helps improve neuromuscular efficiency, which allows the body to produce more force for a specific movement.
So dexterity is also strength in itself, since it allows for this efficiency to increase. Beautiful stuff.
Finally I can say this now and ppl will believe me
Dexterity is also effects speed of muscles, thus means more power cause power=strenghtxspeed
