Thank you for your great videos! I like your description of the size principle. What are your thoughts about reversing it with heavy eccentrics. Is there something to it? Do you know any good literature on that topic. Second question: is there a adequate 3D model of the sliding-filament theory? I am aware that all muscle-cells of one motorneuron are the same fibre type, but do the sarcomeres and/or the fibres all have the same length too? This would make sense for nice smooth movements, right? Thanks again for your great work!
Hey, Andy I heard you talking about the 3-5principle for strengh, power and speed, wanted to get indepth. Doing compound movements like pull-ups, bench press, squats, bent over rows, deadlifts and many more strengh-85% of your max power 40-70%. And do I increase the intensity 3-5% per week? And 5% increase in volume per week? was thinking of working out 3 times a week first day: power second day: strengh third day: speed would this be right or I'm messing it up? if someone also knows and does this type of workouts could you please enlighten me of how to do this principle properly. Thanks.
Great video. A little confused on certain programming parameters. My goal is strength without added mass. I’m a climber so weighted pull ups are my bread and butter for strength. Would training that specific movement 2-3x a week be optimal?
About the levers at 1:04:17, the class II lever example is wrong. The ankle-foot-calf system is a class I lever. Think about it this way: * The ankle is the fulcrum * The calf muscle produces the force * The load is the reaction force of the floor against the ball of your foot, with magnitude equal to your bodyweight.
I don't think you can call the ankle the fulcrum when the toe is fixed to the ground and the movement starts with the metatarsals. Or you could call both points fulcrums since the movement is more complex than a single jointed movement?
@@OnkelBeeenji Well yes technically it's a multi joint movement, namely the ankle and the MTP joints, but the MTP joints are acting passively in that they're not carrying the weight. The actual movement is produced by the calf muscle pulling on the Achilles tendon, which pulls on the heel, which makes the foot pivot/turn around the ankle joint, hence why it is the fulcrum. Finally the ball of the foot moves down relative to the ankle and pushes against the floor. The reaction force of the floor then pushes the body up. Since the fulcrum (ankle) is in the middle, with the muscle pulling on one side of the foot (heel) and the load on the other side (ball of the foot), that makes it a class 1 lever.
Would love to see a revisit on dynamic variable resistance, as well as an "update" on some of these concepts in your new RU-vid format. Congrats! And thank you for everything that you put out.
Sir,my question is- I am a male,64years age.How I should program my fitness regimen for optimal health and fitness?At present, I do pushups,air bodyweight squats, dumbbells, mobility exercises,core exercises.
Hey Andy, quick question on the graph @ 45:30: supposing that the starting point for the elastic tension (green curve) is at that level of tension (y-axis) - I guess is going to be variable for each muscle anyway, due to anatomical and physiological variables - isn't the total tension (resultant, dotted line) going to reduce it's slope with muscle length, until rapture where it will suddenly go to zero tension? Thanks for all the videos! Cheers
Dear Andy, how would one apply the SAID principle for grappling/BJJ? If someone wants to get stronger and stay in the same weight class. What exercises would translate the best?
Hey Professor Galpin, Just a small verbal typo you made @56:25 . You said the gastroc is all "slow twitch," although it was still clear from the previous points that you meant fast. Might want to put a lil edit just in case people didn't catch it.
Fascinating as usual. I wasn't expecting it but this has me thinking about the popular wisdom among runners that any training takes at least 2 weeks to manifest. The idea of a taper allowing full recovery to get the best performance is still valid, but the changes detailed here make the inclusion of high intensity "sharpening" sprint intervals w full rest late in a training cycle make a whole lot of sense and I imagine could be leveraged more fully by also including some of the same on the weight training side
thank you for these great videos! 8:32 - I thought one of the reasons would be conditioning may block gains like you reffered to in one of your videos?
Can we get some info on how hypertrophy gasses conditioning? I hear it all the time watching UFC when there's a guy who's built big Joe Rogan will typically say something along the lines of "He's got such bit muscles he's going to gas quick".
Cool stuff as always. I think there is much more to be discovered about the mechanisms underlying both increases in specific force of muscle fibres as well as neural adaptations.
