As much as it sounds, this whole tension concept must be very hard to understand for 95% of gym goers.
As with anything, learning proper execution is a skill to be learned that just takes some practice. Its the exact reason I created the Hypertrophy Execution Mastery program, to help people break bad habits that are killing their joints and gains! ;)
Always brilliant advice - thanks Ben
Thank you that makes allot of sense - this is so informative please post more videos.
This is incredible, something I’ve never given serious thought to. Thank-you.
Met Bpak in 2011 at fit expo San Jose, one of those solid folks that gives a damn about helping people.
Still have the ALLMAX poster he signed with never quit.
Thanks and glad you liked the poster. I'm just really passionate about building a muscle intelligence movement to help people achieve their goals!
Ever since i started dumbell pressing with my elbows at a strict 90 degrees instead of having my hands come in a little bit, ive had the craziest contractions ive ever felt in my life, its weird but doing that and keeping the shoulder down and back really make a huge difference. I used to bench 70 lb dumbells but now i use 50lbs and its harder than the 70s!!
👍
Great information. Thank you.
Been implementing these daily video tips all week and the isolation of one end of the muscle is definitely a very helpful thing for me to be aware of every rep thx
Awesome! Glad you're finding the tips helpful Luke!
The content is amazing 👏👏
Great advice as always .Love your workout programs thanks Bpak.
💪
This is total common sense to me.
Mi40 is the only way to train! TUT not progressive overload!!! I don't k low why people think your concept of training is so hard. It's so simple!!!
Thanks and glad you're geting results with my programs. Interesting account name. hahaha
Love you man. You're a living blessing. Stay strong
Thanks Tudor! Hope your training is going well!
MI40 Muscle Intelligence not so well right now I have an elbow injury
I tried dumbbell press last push workout with keeping more distance and I swear the next day my front delts felt so fresh, strong and healthy 👍
Yes Malik ,
So true ,
I like video thanks information sir ji 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It is truth..
Sir we a vedio on MUSCLE FAILURE ....IS muscle failure or fatigue is necessary in every exercise or every set ???
Looking good now B ~ Adam 🙂
My girl knows she needs to increase the tension so that the load is increased on release
...this should not be free content.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. My programs go into WAY more detail on how to optimize training for your body. Glad you found the video helpful though. ;)
oh, i'm aware. I've been lurking MI40 since 2012/13 but even small advice such as this can change everyone's perspective and approach to training tremendously
When doing dumbbell flat bench, it is better to have the hands out wider? I started practicing holding the stretch at the bottom and that makes a difference. I thought having the dumbbells out wide put more tension on the shoulders
They said it couldn’t been done. Talking about Biomechanics.. Well he is doing it in a simple way with over 100,000 followers.
Training chest then, wouldn’t dumbbell flys be more optimal than presses then, given distance, and tension. Because dumbbell presses are the same motion as a fly technically right? Only difference is the weight isn’t above the elbow joint, it’s way more outward.
Do dumbbell flys would be all that’s needed?
Why is V Shred in my Recommended bar?
Feline u're cute
Love these videos👏
P.s how or where can I get that MI40 shirt you are wearing? 😏😉😊
Hi Julia, here is where you can order those shirts: www.benpakulski.com/product/mi40-baseball-tee/
Force x distance = lever arm
Branch Warren saw this and thought Ben was speaking in Chinese...
His points not 100% true... His example is bench press and/or holding a 20 pound dumbbell out. If you change the angle/distance, it doesn't necessarily make it harder/easier. You also change which muscles now are taking the load and responsibility for that action. If you stack a 20 pound weight over your shoulder its different muscles being worked than holding it out. Same with the bench. He effectively showed the difference between wide grip, conventional, and close grip bench. Your shoulders, lats, and triceps all play different parts in those grips.
It's not just about distance, that's too simplistic. If he's talking about cheating yourself with a rep just to complete it, like he showed with the pulldown or bicep curl, that makes more sense. But he kind of lost the plot with the other examples because they effectively became different exercises.
So true. Also cheat reps can help you in the right circumstances e.g. when you are trying to squeeze 2 more reps out of a burned out muscle. As long as you know how to cheat properly.
got to throw away the ego!
