Document Summary

Speed and impact force is a function of muscle activation rate and rate if relaxation consider : muscle activation creates force and stiffness force cant be fast. Apparent paradox: strength = speed, relaxation = speed. Relax and be faster to be stronger. There is usually too much emphasis on training to increase mass with hypertrophy (which slows motion)rather than training effective mass. Justify every exercise you prescribe; then assume that you must optimize athleticism but make weight. Train the brain, train the nerves, i don"t train the muscles , vasily alexeyev. Move the neuromuscular compartments the double cam - superstiffness posture and lat dorsi pull down on the lat dorsi get your strength proximally. Hip abduction and external rotation: activates glut max. and med and ab wall more than conventional squat, unloads the knee lift more, spread the floor with external rotation left more. Uses the same lat dorsi pattern teaching the brain how to use neuromuscular training.
