in muscle functions that produces a stronger contraction of a muscle when it is immediately preceded by a stretch. This can occur even more if the antagonist muscle is allowed to contract prior to the initiation of the contraction. That said, knowing that this phenomenon exists is one thing. Applying it to your own training is something that you need to do if you want to see your fastest gains ever. Here is how you can do it in a variety of muscles throughout the body. For triceps, the best option is to use the lying triceps extension. This can be done with either a straight bar or an EZ bar. The key is that this move stretches the triceps fully because it not only flexes the elbow but it also gets the arm up overhead which places the long head on greatest stretch. Unlike the pushdown which only focuses it-s stretch on the medial and lateral heads by flexing the elbow, the lying extension doesn-t have any shortcomings. The way to train with the stretch reflex is to be aware of its existence and more aggressively attack the bottom of the rep to be sure you-re applying the stretch. This is only possible when you perform full range of motion reps, once again reinforcing how beneficial the practice of performing your lifts at least in some part with full range of motion. For a more advanced way to do this, you would lift the weight back up a quarter of the way and hold for a brief second. Drop the weight from this position and immediately reverse the motion. For biceps, the incline biceps curl is the exercise of choice. Here again however, it is important to not shortcut the range on the lift. Get those elbows back behind your body and be sure to contract your triceps to get that reflexive relaxation of the biceps. Forcefully contract every rep. The 1 1/4 rep method is on the table here as well. For the back there are three options. The underhand row, seated row and meadow-s row. The key to all of these exercises is that the muscle stretch on the lats is enhanced vs other back exercise options. The ability to get the arm out in front of the body places a larger stretch on the lat muscles and enables the stretch reflex

So I Started your Athlean-X training program. I like it. but. It feels as if I'm not lifting/working enough to really make any gains in fat burning or muscle growth. even when I rep until failure. Should I throw in additional workouts during the week? Add extra weight to REALLY push myself? Or just have faith in the program. I just don't want to get a couple months in only to realize that I wasn't doing enough. Thanks for the programs and videos. I do love the content and am happy I bought in to your program.

PLEASE NO JESSE I just started watching your informative scientific physiological workout approach.
I-m 66 years old and have worked out most of my life until 5-6 years ago. I just got back in the gym January 1st 2021, Just 3 mo. ago and have only missed 3 days since I started January 1st.
I appreciate All your tips and educated moves, with hand placements along with Ah Ha moments, you make working out challenging and fun again. You don-t need the comedy.
Thanks

Does using roids is that much harmful? Am working out for years and the changes are pretty much low. but my friend who gone through two cycles is now a beast. and there is me still going to gym and looking like a normal fit guy.
Am doing the exercises according to your instructions and indeed am getting some benefits but i need some more. still not looking like a person going to gym for couple of years.

The more I learn from Jeff, the less I know. Last time I checked, we deliberately paused to AVOID relying on the stretch reflex. Now we use it. Both somehow grows more muscle faster and better and you've been doing everything wrong.
I don't know, I start losing trust in what he says (even though the intros get better lol.

Jeff please make a video about this. I-m having sternum pain, I can-t do a lot of reps like I use to because of the pain. Just recently doing a chest workout it bothered me doing some cable flyes. I can even pop it just by sticking out my chest for a while in the right position where it hurts the most. Please help

Coach Cavaliere I really find your video very helpful. I have been doing pull-ups and push-ups and I like one day would do pull-ups the next day do push-ups but following day still my arms are still sore. Should I do them together one day rest them till soreness is away?

Hey Jeff, it sucks that people don't understand that you give out information authentically with no strings attached and they don't see its just business and nothing personal. Don't get bogged down by those who try to pull you down. Cheers.
