This is a good way to think about it. Well said 👍

Thats a very good summary. If they asked you to elaborate on it more, what would you say? (I'd be curious to learn from you as your simplified version was very helpful to understand!)

Yes, that is a pretty good summary 👍

I would say contracting and elongating muscles with resistance over a full range of motion.

I would say the amount of tension the muscle gets exposed to

​@@nboss968I think thats the clearest response

No problem 💪

Cheers 👍

Cheers, no problem 👍

U just associated a man with god

Great summary 👍

if u are in doubt about the concept of mechanical tension, just watch paul carters video on the topic, he does a very well job on explaining it

Glad to hear it 👍

no problem 👍

Well said 👍

Most of that is nonsense. Tempo is almost irrelevant Isometric do little but increase metabolite accumulation. Changing everything 4-6 weeks completely eradicates decent progressive overload and only progresses Intermuscular adaptations in half that window. Rep ranges have different consequences

@@lespaulsarecool Tempo is not irrelevant; it is a great tool to manipulate that can disrupt a plateau. Studies have also shown strength gains can be made from isometric training with less muscle damage compared to concentric and eccentric loads which means faster recovery time. Changing your routine every 4-6 weeks is a generic statement I made, the point is the body best responds and adapts to novelty; 4-6 weeks is (on average) a good rough timeline to some what change your routine (ie. rep ranges, tempo, exercise selection) for intermediate and advanced lifters that are not following a specific program.

@@matthewmeikle3609 strength specific gains? Nah. I said almost irrelevant. Also I explained what happens in "novel stimulus" but please do share the science where changing stuff up is relevant to an actual plateau in strength/size and not just new neuromuscular adaptations! In fact, nah. There's no point.

@@lespaulsarecool well adressing your previous comment, tempo is for sure not irrelevant. rushing through the eccentric portion of the movement does affect the ammount of stimulus provided. if you were talking about varying the tempo, then you would be correct in saying that it has no benefits. you are right about isometric contractions (specially in the shortened position) as they seem to not provide any added stimulus. and adressing this comment, as you said it yourself, neuromuscular adaptions are the reason in why you can progressive overload, so they do help in progressing a plateau. and changing your training program, although physiologically not necessary, it doesnt erradicates proper progressive overload, it just makes it harder to set a good progressing pattern.

This would also mean that if some strings snap or stiffen while you are generating the same amount of tension as before the mechanical tension per string would increase, right?

What do you mean "more" mechanical tension? And what do you think Concentrics are for?

@@ThingsYoudontwanttohear not really, its a poor analogy tbh. Its better to think of MT (although not wholly accurate) as a stimulus the muscle experiences. Rather than something you're trying to build. Load is often massively overlooked as the 5 v 30 can "grow" the same but there are other factors at play. Heavier sets cause LESS fatigue and faster recovery BETWEEN sets for example. But same hypertrophic stimulus.

No problem

@@FlowHighPerformance1 where did those infos come from, are u a cientist?

cheers, no problem 👍

Not simple, a lot of work go’s into these episodes..straight forward but informative thanks.👊🏻

Splitting your workouts into multiple sessions per day may be slightly superior. However, In my experience, this is very impractical for most people. Here is a vide going into more detail in this topic kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jK2pqtV2vtHDnqM.html

@@FlowHighPerformance1 thanks!

the best way to distribute your exercises is in a push, pull leg routine. Search it up, it is scientifically proven that this is the best way to train.

Yes, but I would still recommend using strict technique & full ROM for your first lift too 👍

I believe Eric Helms from 3DMJ got his hands on one!

Good question. I may make a video on time under tension in the near future 👍

@@FlowHighPerformance1 We are looking forward to your new video.👍

​@@fahribayram6967 • Focus on mind-muscle connection • Take each rep very slow • Always get the stretch

Time under tension is pretty much just the process of doing reps… pretty much learn how to lift to target specific muscles so you can lift the most with them and slow your reps down on the eccentric portion. Make sure to recover for the next workout and you’re set.

yes, this is an emerging field of evidence 👍

Good question. This is an area that we don't have all the answers to yet. I would assume that doing a few more eccentric-only reps after failing in the concentric portion would result in slightly superior growth. However, this is very difficult to do in practice for most lifts 🤔

What does "high mechanical tension" mean?

mechanical tension is basically just ensuring your stress the muscle by training with a full range of motion and taking each set close to failure

More volume (sets / muscle / week) tends to result in superior growth in most cases 💪

That's another way to look at it. Although reps performed far from failure don't involve all motor units, which is why training close to failure is important for muscle growth 🤔

@@FlowHighPerformance1 correct but if assume 10 rep is your failure domain then even doing 5-6 is good enough for mechanical tension to hop in.
