Of all other things in body building training, the one most under-rated and ignored is a body builder’s maximal strength and especially the motor calibre at that maximal level of strength. Reaching maximal strength for most body builders come with poor form and chaos in motor sensory order. But when a body builder can attain maximal strength and still be healthy to coordinate and control his or her motor quality, then he or she has learned of a valuable secrete that propels champions to the throne.
So how does one harness and perfect his or her motor calibre in maximal strength levels? In most cases, motor calibre of many athletes lies underdeveloped and yet it is very, very crucial. A splinter for instance needs to reach the absolute max in speed and strength and still be in control of his or her movements. A power lifter ought to lift the heaviest weight doable and still be in control of the barbell’s movements and posture. A body builder needs to be healthy to reach absolute muscle unfortunate rep, in good exercise form and posture.
Motor calibre in maximal strength is actually very simple to improve as compared to other motor qualities like motor speed, reaction rate and many others, most of which are significantly constrained by genetic predisposition.
Gaining maximal strength and then being healthy to reign on the motor calibre creates the essential base to and on which to development the speed in maximal strength, exercise form in maximal strength and muscle stimulation in maximal strength. Other facets of training like optimal hypertrophy ability, endurance in strength training and prevention of injuries largely depend on the motor calibre during moments of maximal strength demand. Without mortar quality, a body builder attains maximal strength demand only by risking his or her safety. He or she can't even optimally stimulate maximal growth or fully stimulate the muscles.
Exercise for and capability to refrain injuries while training under heavy weights demands that you increase both your maximal strength and then perfect the motor calibre to that level of strength. This can be done by using very rudimentary equipments like barbells and dumbbells, the goal being reaching the highest intensity level possible, and then maintaining the feel of the weight and movement on the target muscle. When you can still feel the weight and be healthy to control the descent and ascent of the weight, even at the maximal intensity levels, then you will have harnessed motor quality. The movement must at all times be felt and controlled in speed, and range of motion.
Pick up dumbbell with your hands, choosing the appropriate weight you would use in a barbell curl for instance. Stretch out your hands by your sides so that they are in line with your shoulders. Let the barbell remain parallel to the torso, the hands being straitened completely. Then freeze at that point and count up to ten. Then lower the weight gradually, very gradually and ensure that you are in control of the movement. Repeat the exercises for three times, without any rest in between. Your capability to count up to ten and then bring the weight down in gradual, conscious speed and range of motion will tell you how well you clean in motor calibre in maximal strength.
