The full post: www.thebioneer...
Muscle control, or the Maxalding system, teaches the user the ability to consciously manipulate muscle. This can be used for elaborate displays of flexing that look almost superhuman. However, it can also be used to increase the power and efficiency of the muscles.
You use muscle control any time you cause your pecs to dance, or flex your bicep. Bodybuilders use the "mind muscle connection" when they target specific muscle groups during an exercise.
And any advanced movement will require a certain amount of specific muscle control and proprioception.
But, with practice, you can increase the connectivity and thereby, potentially, tap into a greater proportion of your own strength. Being able to completely relax muscles, for example, can reduce resistance presented by antagonist muscles that could otherwise slow you down. Likewise, just as you can strengthen a connection with a muscle to flex it, you can also increase the proportion of motor units you're able to engage during a given movement.
This is a highly theoretical video exploring everything from Maxick and Maxlading, to qi gong, to neuroscience. There are no concrete conclusions, only some interesting questions and a few tricks you can try to increase your own control.
Enjoy!

Interesting film. My grandfather, who was born in 1887, was an expert in this. I remember him demonstrating abdominal isolations in the 1970s when he was in his 80s and just before he died. He also taught me some of these skills and I can still do some of these muscular contractions. I’m now 63. He also taught me how to swing Indian clubs and to hold a handstand.

For years I studied bellydancing. Bellydancers learn how to consciously to flex and roll their diaphragm, which creates the distinctive abdominal movements of the dance. It took me a couple of months of daily attention and practice before I gained the ability to move this muscle, which is 'normally' supposed to be outside our conscious control. It made me realize we are capable of far more consicous control over our bodily processes than we think.

@eds1057 Год назад

I’ve been doing a lot of stretching with deep breathing and I think it’s contributed a lot with gaining awareness and control of the musculature around the abdomen. Following up immediately with core exercises feels more fulfilling than if I’d done so without stretching.

There is this guy, the creator of Mindful Wing chun. He is an australian who trained Wing chun in Hong Kong for years, he trained in a internal way to do Wing Chun. He explained that body has joints (not like our normal joints, it's like a visualization), these joints act like cogs, you train to move these cogs simultaneously, this way you can generate maximum powers at weird angels (standing still, sitting in a chair, laying on the floor, etc). I remembered that analogy when you talked about the small ball bearings one. Maybe internal martial arts (real internal martial arts) know something we are just discovering with modern science. I really like your channel, you are distillating and explaining with modern terms, things that some disciplines already knew but didn't explain it with modern terms. I hope one day you could talk about the physical part of ballet.

I love the old time physical culture movement, they had so much more to offer than bodybuilders of today. They were equal parts strongman/woman, gymnast, athelte and with a great physique! Plus, back in the 1920's there was a connection with the physical culture movement and Yoga. A lot of the Indian Yoga Guru's were also strongmen and bodybuilders and the two movements borrowed ideas and techniques from one another. An example would be the stomach vacuum of early bodybuilders which originated from Uddiyana Bandha (upward-flying stomach lock) from Yoga. I think modern bodybuilders should have to perform feats of strength on stage, somersaults, full splits, bend iron bars, etc to prove they can use their body to full capacity as modern competitions give a false sense of ability which can influence the younger generation and lead them down a dark alley! Great video as always! 💪🏼🙏🏼

Started doing this because I noticed some asymmetrical contractions in my facial expressions (lot of muscles in the face). Some of them were imposible to control or even to feel the area. Within days I gained sensibility and a consciousness of the area. Learned how to move better my lips, cheeks, ears and scalp. Then extrapolated to other muscles in my body, specially the deep ones, breathing muscles, pelvic floor, and feet muscles. Amazing video.

@Hyperdriveuk Год назад

It makes perfect sense- I've heard more than one physiotherapist mention- that a lot of people have difficulty with delt growth because their traps take a lot of the load. So in theory if you have the ability to only activate a particular muscle you can train it to it's fullest with less weight.

@life_of_riley88 Год назад

From 23 to 25 I did this exclusively, always in front of a mirror. Went from a skinny 170lbs to a very fibrous 185lbs (6'2" tall). The one thing that I always try to explain to people is just how unbelievably strong you can get when all you do is focus on using your muscles rather than a specific exercise. I never felt so strong, and could do some pretty incredible things for a tall guy. Things like pushups with just my thumbs, sets of incline pushups maxing at 75+ and total reps per day averaging 500-1000. It was really amazing, and people assume that you live in the Gym when you never leave your house. This all ended with 2 severely herniated discs in my neck that took all of 10 years to get properly diagnosed, and eventually replaced. I'm now 34 and my damaged nerves are finally healed up. Looking forward to getting back into the swing of using this technique. Just do it slowly and easily at first, it's all about breathe and individual muscle contraction. If you overdo it, you'll fry entire groups of muscles and they'll take days to come back.

@buck8266 Год назад

@life_of_riley88 Год назад

@@buck8266 Certainly. So to begin with, at age 24 I was lucky to have large amounts of testosterone produced naturally, this wanes with age. As far as this style of exercise goes, it's all about closing your eyes, focusing, breathing and savagely contracting just ONE muscle group. Try it, you'll find it's extremely difficult to do at first, as you get better, you can add more contracting force. When you get really good at this, you'll be able to make yourself extremely sore. It targets muscles just as good as heavy weights, and it makes you wickedly strong. BUT it's hard to do, and it takes discipline. I'm happy to answer specific questions if you have any.

@Pneuma777 4 месяца назад

I love this. When I was first learning about biology/anatomy for exercise, there was an analogy that stuck in my head and I will continue to repeat, it goes like this. Think of your muscles as a forest, and there are pathways through that forest but they are just small walking trails. The trails what connect your muscles to your CNS/intentions, and by training them, you cut down the stuff along the path that makes it hard to walk through. I've since added to it, saying that the QUALITY of your lifts insofar as your conscious attention to the muscles involved and getting maximum contraction, full range of motion, slow eccentrics, pauses, etc. is like adding tools to your construction efforts in the forest. Eventually you have paved roads connecting every part of that forest to the main highway and can access any part easily and quickly. The physical expression of this will always be far more impressive than size to me

Also a good way to train controlling your muscils propperly is to train your balance since equilibrium is easly disturbed it takes a large amount of muscil controlle to keep it propperly. I'm not just talking about simply standing one leg, but doing it for minutes on end while also moving around your body and even taking on compromising positions like sitting in air. I can also controlle my heart, lungs and stomage, and intestins by mindfully focusing on them. A other good way is flow drilles with weapons like in wushu since it takes a lot of controlle and awareness of your body to keep movements going.

I really appreciate how much you put into this video! Though I think the editing in the first half of the video before the add was a bit too distracting from your essay. Love your channel unblievably inspiring!

My favorite muscle control skill is the BELLY ROLL! I have loved that since I was a kid. I can do it, but not as good as others. I even made a Facebook group for it....The Belly Rollers Club! Hey, if you can do it....join the belly rolling brotherhood in the club!

Learning how to relax was something I worked out over lots of road trips. Nothing like 13 hours on the road to surface any issues related to prolonged muscle activation that may otherwise go unnoticed.

Fascinating stuff. Ozzy man did a video showing the ‘38 Berlin Olympics and the Yugoslavian gymnasts there and they’re power and control was mind boggling. Don’t know if they used the same system but still fascinating.

The organ and hormone control aren't too difficult. Think of a time you were laying in bed and thought of your ex with another person and the skin flush that comes with that. Then train yourself to think of it and get the flush. Then with practice, the skin flush can be on command. And you can heat yourself up when cold. It's not something that can be sustained, but this is an example.

Awesome insight, thank you!

I tried this for 20 years but never got to get hot on command. 😢

Since my new workplace demands more working hours I lost a lot of free time which I had before and could not train as much as I had. I mostly did my exercises during walking my dog for about 2 hours at which I did a lot of different calisthenics exercises and finished it off with weight training when I got home. Now I barely have time to walk my dogs for 1,5h... So I stumbled upon the muscle control system and started applying it during my walks. It's pretty amazing considering that you can liteally train a lot of muscle groups on the go or while doing anything else like using public transport or doing an office job. The results surprised me a lot. In some areas I noticed unprecedented muscle definition, despite the fact that I thought that I was targeting those muscles enough during my normal training sessions from before. I wouldn't say that you could get shredded with this by all means, however for general health and to not become rusty muscle control seems to be a pretty good option and unbeatable if you don't have enough free time to hit the gym but still don't want to loose shape. I think in some cases it might even be benefitial for muscle defintion.

Your brain and neural connection is the most important factor in strength.

So how can we achieve more of this

@lootgodamn5721 Год назад

Hey! I've noticed you're using 3d renders more now. Love to see the progress :D

@shamanahaboolist Год назад

You should try doing a physical VR rhythm like Beat Sabre or try playing the drums and see if you find that vastly improves your mind/body connection. Btw you are spot on with this. Using your mind to do isolated contractions are huge for developing definition too.

@marcramirez2093 Год назад

My body sometimes move on its own. I can also move my body without actually trying to move it. We unconsciously send signals to our brain to move our body. But if we focus deep enough we can activate our muscles. I believe this is an advanced version of mind muscle connection. I need to really think about moving my muscles to actually move them. It helps to know a little about anatomy and meditation. Yes it goes that deep. But Idk if this is good or eventually will bight me in the ass. I've been feeling to aware of my brain working separately from my mind. Or I've been feeling like I'm not in full control. But I don't see it as a bad thing. I was also run over when I was a child, now I sometimes don't remember crossing the street. That's why the whole ultra instinct thing fascinated me when I first heard about it. Then to find out there was some truth to it, idk things started making sense.

Anyone calling bs on any of these concepts is a noob! This is exactly what you have to do/learn to build a REAL NATTTY PHYSIQUE !

I have had great fine control of my muscles since I was a kid, I can be very precise subtle or fast, I thought it was natural and that everybody could do it but after I grew up I realized that it's not so for most people. Now at 44 I can still put a leg behind my neck, when I was a kid I could do both legs, also until not long ago I used to reach out around my back with my arm and touch my neck with my fingers, now I can't do it with my right arm or it hurts a lot, I'm losing flexibility which sucks but it's all my fault, I'm trying to build muscle so I haven't given too much emphasis to flexibility, but I got this!, this video reminded me not to lose my connection with my muscles.
