 First question is from Jesse McDonald is the muscle building signal you send when you perform resistance training Specific to only the muscles you train or cannot have an overall effect on the body I recently sustained a knee injury and can't do lower-body training, but I am trying to preserve muscle it's largely specific, but there is a Proven systemic muscle building effect. In fact, I do state there's some interesting studies where they have people train one arm And not the other arm and most of the muscle and strength gains go to that arm that's being trained But they do see growth. Yeah, they still see some muscle and strength gain a little bit in the opposite arm That wasn't trained at all. So there is this systemic effect now This is also Supported by you know, lots of people's experience with certain exercises Some exercises seem to send a louder full-body signal for example a barbell squat or a Deadlift, you know, I know with clients I've had clients add deadlifts to the routine and get stronger at you know, tricep extensions and Curls as a result of getting stronger at this big loud Signal exercise like a deadlift. Same thing with squats. It was said back in the day that if you you want bigger arms You should squat more And I think there's a little bit of truth to that because these exercises use so much muscle and so much skill and requires so much From the central nervous system that yeah, you do get you know A lot of the gains go specifically to the body parts being worked But there is a systemic effect that happens. Do you think that's just your because you're still Investing in the CNS, you know I'm saying like you're still putting you're still putting an effort to develop that It's got to be part of it has to be part of it I mean if that's that if that's the hub of communication to all of your muscles, right from the brain that says fire move and do all this And if you just stop working out completely not only do muscles atrophy But I also would think that that neurological communication starts to slow down or weaken Right and so even though you may not have a good connection to the injury muscle that we're talking about right now You still are strengthening the hub of communication. Yeah, there's yeah, there's an irradiation Effect to that meaning like where I'm trying to stabilize my body Well, the other allowing the freedom for one part of my body to do the movement, but stay anchored stay grounded stay stable So that that's isometric tension is also something that builds muscle and I I can't help but think too That's gonna play a factor in that overall signal affecting other parts of your body Yeah, they do studies to where people will think about a movement and not actually perform the movement And they have improvements in the movement You know, they've done there's old studies would like people thinking about shooting free throws for example They don't shoot any actual free throws But they they go through in their mind and shoot them and they see an improvement in their skill and ability So it's it probably is a central nervous system thing happening muscle fibers themselves aren't being Directly stressed, but the central nervous system is constantly being trained through exercise And so you see a louder signal throughout the the whole body And so the exercises that work the whole body in you know, these big gross motor movements are probably the best at it Another thing is these you know, like trigger sessions which we find in our maps anabolic program, which are kind of these light Low level low intensity type workout sessions you do on the days in between your hard workouts I notice when I do trigger sessions I'll target certain body parts and I'll see the gains in those body But I see gains all over also from them and I think it's the trigger sessions They're just sending this loud full-body signal as I'm doing them frequently to Alive and active if you're making the case for like the loud signal I would I would push this person in the direction of like this is a great time to put a lot of energy and focus on your overhead press or your z-press right because this it's been called the You know the squat for the upper body So if you want a loud signal to send as far as related to the CNS and you can't train lower body whatsoever This might be a great time to be practicing your overhead press and getting really really good at in hopes to you know Have less atrophy happen totally and then here's the other thing of course Once you heal from your energy injuries, excuse me The muscle comes back a lot faster afterwards So it's not and I know it could be something you worry about especially if you're super concerned with you know your physique You know I've hurt myself and you watch my body part or whatever deteriorate it comes back so fast It's actually quite it's pretty easy to get the muscle back once you've had it the first time
