Get my Full Body Training Program: ‣ If you’ve only been in the gym for a year or two, I’d recommend starting with my fundamentals program instead, which has you training full body 3 days a week instead of 5x/week. More details on the high frequency program: This program is designed for intermediate to advanced trainees who are in need of something new to drive continued progress. This is a very unique training style that uses the highest possible frequency of training (hitting every muscle 5 days a week). Full body training has several advantages including: - Reduced soreness = better performance - Improved recovery capacity = more progress - Improved mind-muscle connection per exercise = more focus - High quality volumes = better muscle growth Also includes: - EXACT sets, reps, exercises, rest time, RPE targets - Exercise substitutions - Video links for every exercise - Full summaries of volume for every bodypart - “Program Explained” section - A full FAQ’s section - 39 scientific references Get it here: ------------------------------- SUGGESTED VIDEOS Watch my Science Explained video on high frequency full body training: ‣ Watch my Lateral Raise technique tuesday video: ‣ ------------------------------- Help SUPPORT the channel by: 1.

Just because an EMG study shows higher EMG amplitude does not necessarily guarantee that there is greater muscle activation (although this is most likely assuming the procedure was carried out correctly). In videos, I typically use the phrase “muscle activation“ as an approximation to shortcut this bit of nuance. However, greater muscle activation still doesn’t guarantee greater hypertrophy over time, as there are situations when muscles can hypertrophy in the absence of activation (such as when being stretched). Still, in my opinion, if all else is equal, there is good reason to think that *some activation* should lead to better muscle growth than [id14486609|*no] activation* and that [id2027074|*more] activation* should lead to more muscle growth than *less activation*. At this point, there is a big question mark in the literature as to just how much EMG evidence lends credence to long-term muscle hypertrophy. Based on some correlations in the data, I suspect that it is actually more useful than much of the online fitness community seems to think at this moment in time, but skepticism should still be exercised. In this video, I am *not* using EMG evidence to say “Exercise X is better than Exercise Y“ but rather to prove the conceptual point that all heads of the delts are active to an appreciable degree in the OHP. Since this finding also makes sense biomechanically (given the combination of shoulder flexion and shoulder abduction present in the OHP) I believe this is a fair corroborative application of this research.
