Your muscles are only as powerful as your nervous system lets them be. You can be strong — but if your brain can’t fire those muscles quickly and in sync, you’ll never reach your true potential. Training the nervous system means training: - Motor unit recruitment (how many fibers you can activate) - Firing rate (how fast they activate) - Coordination (how well they work together) Each exercise shown in the clip above helps to develop these qualities. 1. Sprinting/Band Resisted Bounds: Trains max neural firing speed — teaching your nervous system to activate muscles at the highest possible rate 2. Weighted Trap Bar Jumps: Trains rate of force development (RFD) — improving how quickly your nervous system produces high force under load 3. Overcoming ISOs: Trains max intent and motor unit recruitment — teaching your brain to turn on every available muscle fiber instantly 4. Countermovement Jump: Trains timing and coordination — syncing your nervous system to use the stretch-shortening ...
