Can we all appreciate that when Eddie did that deadlift, he recruited so much of his available muscle, it nearly killed him. When he went down on his knee after the lift, he was blind in both eyes and struggled to stay conscious. He then began bleeding out of his nose, eyes, and ears. When he got back stage he was barely coherant and had neurological symptoms that almost hospitalized him. He reported that it was difficult to think clearly for the 2 weeks after that lift. People are capable of great feats of strength but there is always a cost.
@@TREE3-ph4sr it produced a small quantity of wealth, which allowed him to pay for the necessities of training to win the world's strongest man comp, which he then leveraged into attaining generational wealth for his family. It might nit have been something you would do. It doesn't make it stupid. He took calculated risks to leverage his specific talents to provide the life he wanted for his family. Cost and reward. The reward (for him) was enough for the risk (for him.) Ya dig?
Because he put so much strain at his neck muscles, that his nerven and bloodvessels are compressed hard af. He basically had a selfmade stroke. So this is probably what you can call muscle activation 😅
Isometric training is a pretty straight forward and effective way to train your nervous system to activate more motor units. Also great for rehabbing injuries.

Max Sick used to practice muscle control, and he was incredibly strong for his bodyweight! Even Bruce Lee used to say that there must be a fusion of the mind and body, and he is arguably the strongest martial artist pound for pound. So that means that the more your mind is connected to your body, or the more control you have over your body, the more muscle fibres you can recruit!
Glad your enjoying the content! Eddie is a beast and seemed like the perfect example, though I've also heard of other powerlifters who would imagine all kinds of things to help them during the lift. One I had heard claim he imagined he was a bear standing on it's hind legs with every deadlift because he liked the tales of the old viking berzerkers.
Chalistenic skill training helped me a ton to get mind muscle activation it feels like il learning how to move the muscle before training it to the max strength
Your ability to compress complicated movements is extremely helpfull.I wonder if you could expand on the dand and bhaitak,and the 5 tibetans,as these are complex movements.I find new aspects in these exercises such as tension,relaxation and breathing as tools to improve,daily.thanks a lot for your efforts.yours Henrik Denmark
Glad it's been helping out! Feel free to leave suggestions for future videos if there is something you would like to see as well. All the suggestions go on a list.
Thank you so much for your work. I thoroughly enjoy your educational material and sketches. I've used past videos to help with issues I've had. Thank you again, sir. :D
I've noticed that during negatives I am able for exceed my body's normal "safety limits". For example in jiu jitsu, if I wrap my arms around someone and try to pin their arms to their sides, the normal reaction is for them to place the hands on my hips and take a step back, arching their back and pushing me away to break my grip. If I try and resist, the pain in my biceps gets greater and greater and I have to let go before my strength fails. I believe that if I did not let go whenever this occurred, then I would end up tearing my biceps, because in this position it tricks my body into using 100% of the muscle fibers.
I appreciate your explanation regarding a variety of strategies anyone can make use of to tap into the neural pathways to increase the motor units recruited when attempting to maximize our power output. Powerlifting, Plyometrics, High Volume Calisthenics, Embodiment/Visualization. I've usually focused on the 3rd strategy and integrated the 2nd every now and then. Thanks to your video I'm interested in a program that would make full use of all these alongside a flexibility/stretch routine!
I think I've personally witnessed two techniques described here, working. First, when bench pressing dumbbells, if when tired I allow the dumbbells to drop at the tail end of a controlled eccentric descent, the recruitment of extra muscle to stop the drop makes the next contraction easier/possible. Next, repetitions to exhaustion while juggling. Juggling 5 or more props quickly exhausts muscle fibers in succession, until all of the relevant fibers are depleted. If you look at the biceps of any 5 ball juggler, you realize that large biceps can be developed using just 3-4 oz balls.
The eccentric contraction helping to activate more fibers is very likely. I've noticed the same thing, especially when it's taken to a nearly fully elongated position. I've never juggled but I know what you mean about developing strength from light loads. I think it's a topic that many people will debate, but I've seen the same thing in people who just swing a small hammer all day or hobby martial artists who spend a lot of time training with hand held weapons. It creates a very dense and controlled type of muscle quality.
@@moversodyssey Agree totally. I did heavy steel construction for years, swinging a 4lb hammer and dragging welding leads around….though hard on the body, we all were so strong! Stronger than anything I’ve ever accomplished in a gym.
Ahh this is my concept of "falling from a given heigth say upper bunk bed" str8 to pushup and my flying "clapping" pushup and dip's- This entails the survival response as in say you're in an unkown place and something jumps out at you and you must protect yourself- THE FIGHT RESPONSE
I've got questions I can't find answers to -- maybe you can help. First, at 6:00 you say that 50 reps is generally enough for most people to recruit and exhaust 100% of their muscle fibers -- is this one set of 50 or multiple sets? If it's multiple sets, what kind of rest period between sets? Second, how quickly do muscle fibers recover? Minutes? Hours? Basically, how quickly do I have to hit 50 reps to exhaust all of the fibers? Finally, should the last rep be failure or should I still have a few reps in the tank? Thanks for a wonderful video!
This video was referring to one continuous set. Though when most people start doing long set, the number of reps needed to activate all fibers is closer to 30-35. After a few months it's usually closer to 50. And in extreme cases, where this type of training is performed often and at high levels, this number can be over 100. The sets will end up taking you just about to failure. You will definitely have to feel the muscular stamina being exhausted. The motor units will recover at different rates, depending on size and muscle fiber type. But after your set you will have a good percentage recovered after just a minute or two and nearly all will be recovered within 3-5 minutes. When you get good at this type of exercise structure the muscular stamina becomes much more efficient and you will have some motor units recovering mid set while other motor units are performing work. The speed at which you perform the reps will have some effect on recovery time, largely based off the amount of extra effort it takes to go very slow or very fast. It's more difficult in these case because you are only targeting 1 type of muscle fiber, fast or slow twitch. At a more standard pace (around 3-4 seconds per full rep of something like a squat) you are using both slow and fast twitch. Once you understand the mechanics you can gamify this any way you want. Want explosive stamina, do high speed bodyweight squats until you can't maintain the same speed anymore. If you want to target both types of muscle fibers and stimulate every fiber in the target muscle, perform reps at a standard pace and continue until exhaustion. Or you could also do something like 2-3 high speed sets followed by a short rest and then follow up with 2-3 slower steady state reps, targeting each motor unit type separately. Hope this helps, I rambled a bit.
Thank you so much! So as I become better trained it'll take more effort to recruit all 100% AND some previously exhausted fibers could recover before I finish. Would it be advantageous to do multiple sets of 100% exercises, or is the point of multiple sets an effort to utilize every fiber at least once?
@@shaolinmunky2012 You can do multiple sets, you may have to give yourself 3-4 minutes between sets to let the muscles recover. But as your endurance and recovery get better you can shorten the recovery time. I've seen persian wrestlers who have gotten so good at hindu squats they will do a set of 400, then stretch out for 60 seconds and jump right back into another 400 and do this 4-5 times. Strength endurance is one are where the human body can be taken to extremes. As a side note, in normal strength training, when you do multiple sets you will usually stimulate maybe 50-60% of the fibers with each set. But during the recovery between sets many of those fibers will recover to some degree and be among the 50-60% used in the next set. So some fibers get worked in every set and some never get touched.
This reminds me of when I would do my sets starting light at ten reps and continually doing ten reps with small increases in weight until I could only hit eight, then continue doing eight and adding weight until I could only do six and then keep doing six until I couldn't do the lift, all as one set (so for example I could start bench at 95 pounds and eventually go finish off at maybe 200 pounds) Just out of curiosity, how do Type 2x fibres play into Hysterical training? I ask because since they have a high explosive and strength ratio to endurance rating, you want to lift heavy and explosive but for a low number of reps per set (3 - 4) with about two minutes of rest between sets since they burn out faster. Either way, this vid was awesome. Very informative and I learned something new.
Nothing beats holding a deep squat position for time. Dr Kelly Starrett used to preach that being able to hold this position for 10 minutes was imperative. I usually do 5 min & have seen great results in hip mobility & lower back health. Hope this helps.
As always, fantastic content thank you! You left me curious about some quesitons: - Which one is the best way to gain MVC (therefore strength) plyometrics, long sets with medium weight or just lifting heavy with small number of reps? - Do you have any video deeping inside how to and benefits of long sets exercises?
Really it just depends on your particular goals. They will all increase MVC but in different ways. If you're looking for lifting strength, then power lifting and overcoming isometrics are the best way to go. For explosive strength, plyometrics and ballistics will do well. The long sets are interesting because they don't really increase MVC but instead create a much more efficient use of motor unit recruitment, so you get more out of the MVC you have. It's great for strength-endurance, the cardiovascular system and the joints if your form is good. The high reps really bring a lot of blood flow to the joints to help nourish the tendons and ligaments. I don't have a video yet, but I'm going to do one sometime soon about hindu squats and hindu push ups and discuss it.
There is story in indian folks that great gama lifted 1200 kg stone in 1902. The stone is still preserved in one of the meuseum in Vadodara city. Still its not believable but yeah he used to have great strength and undefeated kushti player(wrestler) in that time.
Interestingly, Eddie Hall recently chose to try a carnivore diet, and as of writing this he's been on it for 7 weeks or so. He reports so far that he has experienced a reduction in GI distress, reduced inflammation, a lower bodyfat percentage without deliberately trying to do so, improved sleep quality, and claims that his strength performance has increased significantly. He has been consuming around 10,000 calories per day while on this carnivore diet experiment. Perhaps there is something to be gained from such a diet in terms of strength output and performance. Eddie Hall has to be one of the best case studies we could've asked for too.
A big thank you for your work ! The only little detail missing for me is a visual summary like a board or a sheet to screen shot at home at the end of the video 😁👌
Alexander Bromley has debunked twice, to my knowledge, the myth of “hysterical strength”, it just doesn’t happen. Of course that won’t stop me from trying these strategies, good vid.
I'm honestly surprised that overcoming isometrics and similar techniques weren't mentioned. If I recall correctly, using those techniques is how Bruce Lee acquired his absolutely monstrous strength at such a relatively small and lean size
I almost put it on here, but decided to hold off and put it on it's own video. Once of the limitations of these videos is they can't be too long because the hand drawn illustrations are so labor intensive. Overcoming isometrics are very powerful though, one of my favorite training tools.
He did not see a woman lifting a car off of her child, if you read the actual article in the newspaper she called out for help from Three Boys from the neighborhood and they were able to lift the car, all she did was lift up on the wheel well basically releasing a little bit of tension from the struts. Maybe somebody depicted her in a picture and that's where he's claiming he saw that but that did not happen. She did not lift that car on her own.
@@orlanskimer no I posted another comment which led to a brief conversation with the host. The whole story has been debunked multiple times by multiple people so yes I had to bring it up because it's just not true
@@LatimusChadimus you're confusing this with a different story. I'm always confused why people get so defensive about this. It's not that hard to imagine. I personally have an experience similar when I was a kid and I was a very small kid. I saved my little cousin from getting hit by a car. Very unlikely story and the adults didn't believe me but my sister and other cousin vouched for me. It was hard to believe but our bodies can do amazing things under the right circumstances
I don’t think thts quite right bout the amount of muscle fibres, and motor neurones recruiting them, used. I thought tht no matter who attempts a lift all muscle fibres are used. But how we train specifies how efficiently we use them and of course how much power they put out. Is tht not right?
Not recruiting all of your muscle motor units is actually a big reason many people don't see great gains in the gym. Lifting really heavy or lifting a little lighter but going near exhaustion will usually recruit them all through out the lift. But in any one rep you wont ever recruit 100% of the available motor units unless you are maxing out.
Isometrics help you train nervous system- muscle link. Exp: most people can recruit 50-60% of their muscle fibers in a movement. Someone who trains in isometrics regularly could plausibly recruit 70-90% of their muscle fibers. keep in mind that the weight lifted and recruited muscle fiber are not linearly correlated. This means that if at 40% you could deadlift 200lbs it would be plausible for you to deadlift 500lbs at 80%. Other exercises(weightlifting) can increase this nervous system-muscle connection; isometrics exercises are just particularly effective at training this faculty, isometrics are also great at training tendon strength(a common weak link in peoples movement chain). Ive found that isometrics is not good for muscle growth and should be used to compliment an intermediate level weightlifting program. An easy isometric exercise would be to push or pull on something immovable as hard as you can(like pushing a stone wall or pulling on a tree trunk). Hope this was helpful for you man.
For light plyos, jump rope and agility drills are often enough. For more heavy plyos you'll want things like depth jumps, box jumps, plyometric bounding and plyo push ups for upper body.
@@minimalhainex7333 yea, plyos are pretty easy to do at home. The one thing you might need is a box to jump on and off of. But I've also used the steps of my deck, kitchen chairs, and really any household object that you feel can support you.

@@shaolinmunky2012 You can do multiple sets, you may have to give yourself 3-4 minutes between sets to let the muscles recover. But as your endurance and recovery get better you can shorten the recovery time. I've seen persian wrestlers who have gotten so good at hindu squats they will do a set of 400, then stretch out for 60 seconds and jump right back into another 400 and do this 4-5 times. Strength endurance is one are where the human body can be taken to extremes.
As a side note, in normal strength training, when you do multiple sets you will usually stimulate maybe 50-60% of the fibers with each set. But during the recovery between sets many of those fibers will recover to some degree and be among the 50-60% used in the next set. So some fibers get worked in every set and some never get touched.

Just out of curiosity, how do Type 2x fibres play into Hysterical training? I ask because since they have a high explosive and strength ratio to endurance rating, you want to lift heavy and explosive but for a low number of reps per set (3 - 4) with about two minutes of rest between sets since they burn out faster.
Either way, this vid was awesome. Very informative and I learned something new.

The only little detail missing for me is a visual summary like a board or a sheet to screen shot at home at the end of the video 😁👌
Alexander Bromley has debunked twice, to my knowledge, the myth of “hysterical strength”, it just doesn’t happen.
Of course that won’t stop me from trying these strategies, good vid.
Yea he left a comment on this video, he was pretty unhappy with the examples. Seems it's a topic he takes very seriously. Lol
paraolympians bench press strength is insane though
Awesome video 👏🏽 subscribed✅
Make a video for teeth extraction solution without brace
He is going to make America lift again
I like these videos 💪 💪 💪
You are the best
Can you make benefits of surya namaskar please
Can you make a video about why you need to train your fascia
Very insightful
I'm honestly surprised that overcoming isometrics and similar techniques weren't mentioned. If I recall correctly, using those techniques is how Bruce Lee acquired his absolutely monstrous strength at such a relatively small and lean size
I almost put it on here, but decided to hold off and put it on it's own video. Once of the limitations of these videos is they can't be too long because the hand drawn illustrations are so labor intensive. Overcoming isometrics are very powerful though, one of my favorite training tools.
@@moversodyssey Could you mention the Mighty atom and Dennis Rogers in your isometric vid? They used allot of isos to bend steel.
Great man
You are great
I never thought i would here the great gamma in a vid like this
His workouts and his wrestling career were really impressive.
@@moversodyssey Indeed
Nice video
He did not see a woman lifting a car off of her child, if you read the actual article in the newspaper she called out for help from Three Boys from the neighborhood and they were able to lift the car, all she did was lift up on the wheel well basically releasing a little bit of tension from the struts. Maybe somebody depicted her in a picture and that's where he's claiming he saw that but that did not happen. She did not lift that car on her own.
So that's what you got out of the whole video?
@@orlanskimer no I posted another comment which led to a brief conversation with the host. The whole story has been debunked multiple times by multiple people so yes I had to bring it up because it's just not true
@@orlanskimermy thoughts exactly! Lol
@@LatimusChadimus you're confusing this with a different story. I'm always confused why people get so defensive about this. It's not that hard to imagine. I personally have an experience similar when I was a kid and I was a very small kid. I saved my little cousin from getting hit by a car. Very unlikely story and the adults didn't believe me but my sister and other cousin vouched for me. It was hard to believe but our bodies can do amazing things under the right circumstances
It's like when people say we only use 10% of our brain, and that idea actually came from a science fiction book🤦♂
Surprised you didn’t mention overcoming isometrics
So when all is said and done, what is the best way to maximize muscle fiber activation? Strength training? Plyometrics? Combining both…?
Can you make a video on how to lean the handstand please
dude this video and the 3 recommended videos thank you wtf bro
Awesome video
I don’t think thts quite right bout the amount of muscle fibres, and motor neurones recruiting them, used. I thought tht no matter who attempts a lift all muscle fibres are used. But how we train specifies how efficiently we use them and of course how much power they put out. Is tht not right?
Not recruiting all of your muscle motor units is actually a big reason many people don't see great gains in the gym. Lifting really heavy or lifting a little lighter but going near exhaustion will usually recruit them all through out the lift. But in any one rep you wont ever recruit 100% of the available motor units unless you are maxing out.
What really is isometric exercises and can it really make people superhuman or close to it.
Can you do a video on it?
Isometrics help you train nervous system- muscle link.
Exp: most people can recruit 50-60% of their muscle fibers in a movement.
Someone who trains in isometrics regularly could plausibly recruit 70-90% of their muscle fibers.
keep in mind that the weight lifted and recruited muscle fiber are not linearly correlated. This means that if at 40% you could deadlift 200lbs it would be plausible for you to deadlift 500lbs at 80%.
Other exercises(weightlifting) can increase this nervous system-muscle connection; isometrics exercises are just particularly effective at training this faculty, isometrics are also great at training tendon strength(a common weak link in peoples movement chain). Ive found that isometrics is not good for muscle growth and should be used to compliment an intermediate level weightlifting program.
An easy isometric exercise would be to push or pull on something immovable as hard as you can(like pushing a stone wall or pulling on a tree trunk).
Hope this was helpful for you man.
Very interesting
What a legend
Talk about muscle fascia in your next video 👍
This channel is absolutely the shit!
Can say how can I use it for arm wrestling
exercises you would recommend for plyometrics please?
For light plyos, jump rope and agility drills are often enough. For more heavy plyos you'll want things like depth jumps, box jumps, plyometric bounding and plyo push ups for upper body.
@@moversodyssey hello, can these be performed without gym equipment?
Cause I'm more into home workout
@@minimalhainex7333 yea, plyos are pretty easy to do at home. The one thing you might need is a box to jump on and off of. But I've also used the steps of my deck, kitchen chairs, and really any household object that you feel can support you.
Can't in 1 short video?
Let me get that part 2!
What do you use to make videos with these animations
They are screen recordings of me illustrating and then sped up and talked over in filmora.
