🤔 Can you spot why they failed ⁉️
⠀
Take a look 👀 at these two lifters, they have something in common which causes them to fail their lift.
⠀
💪🏼 Muscles receive a neural activation signal from the pool of innervating motor neurons. This neural signal is the sum of the spiking activities of motor neurons and is referred to as neural drive ⚡️
⠀
🏋🏼‍♂️ During the lift, you can see small movements occurring which causes the body to reduce 📉the neural drive (the power supply) to the muscles. Listen 👂 to Professor Stuart McGill, renowned spinal expert, explain this in more detail.
