Muscle Activation Techniques® is one of the most powerful things you can do to boost your athletic performance.
But what is it about this process that makes Muscle Activation Techniques® so effective?
It all boils down to one thing:
Improving how well your brain and muscles communicate with each other.
Improved communication between your brain and muscles has a number of benefits, for sport and life, but when it comes to athletic performance, there are three big ones that really push the needle for you.
First, by reconnecting your brain and muscles so they communicate better, you are able to access all of the strength, power, and athleticism that you already possess.
It’s like if you have a Ferrari but the battery cables are loose. You can try to start the car as much as you want, but until the cables get reconnected, you won’t be able to access all of the power in that beautifully built engine.
With your body, you have built a supercharged engine for yourself through your workouts and training, but you can’t access all of that engine because your brain and muscles are connected properly.
However, once that communication between your brain and muscles gets reestablished with Muscle Activation Techniques®, all of the strength and power you already possess immediately becomes accessible to you.
Second, Muscle Activation Techniques® allows you to access more muscle fibers when you train and compete.
This is like removing the governor on your car–the built-in speed limiter that keeps you from going as fast as the engine is actually capable of.
Once the governor gets removed, you can access more of the engine that was already built into your car, allowing your vehicle to go faster and be more powerful.
Similarly, with Muscle Activation Techniques®, you can tap into the muscle fibers that your body has but are currently unavailable due to previous injuries and compensation patterns.
Once the metaphorical governor of your body gets removed and you are able to access all of your muscle fibers, you can quickly see improvements in your speed, strength, and power.
Third, one of the best ways to build your athleticism is to keep your body healthy enough to stack training days and get the compounding effect of training hard for long periods of time without being interrupted by injuries or issues.
Muscle Activation Techniques® helps you do exactly this by relieving many of the issues and tweaks that often come about by training hard for athletic performance. In doing so, you are able to consistently train hard enough to improve your performance without having to take extended time off due to minor injuries.
Over time, this makes your body more resilient to issues and better-able to handle high training volumes and intensities, allowing you to consistently push yourself to your upper limits without fear of getting hurt.
For serious and recreational athletes alike, Muscle Activation Techniques® is the secret weapon that keeps their performance high year after year.
