Hi Dr. Gains. I need an answer to this please. Does each muscle in the body reach a plateau individually? For example if you trained your biceps for six months properly and reached a bicep plateau but only started isolating ur forearms afterwards - would that mean that your forearms have a lot of time to reach a plateau? My question is does each muscle reach a plateau individually?

That's a fallacy, something like isolating the lower abs dont even exist, the contraction in the abdominal muscles are created by an isometry that is present in the movement bc you roll up your entire body, and this is the pattern for working the abdominal muscle, but all those movements dont work for something like lower ab, bc if you roll up your muscles the muscle fibers in the rectus abdominis are going to contract bc all of they are JUST VERTICAL FIBERS. All the movements that implicates lifting your legs in fron of your body means that the Psoas is being contracted and that the ab is working isometrically. Also, place hip flexion exercises, since there are so many studies that teach how dangerous it can even be to overtrain the hip flexors in calisthenics, where you only lift a small portion of the weight, you are placing here a weight even greater than that could load the poor psoas muscle... With this video you can injure many people's lower back, I would recommend training the hip flexors gently with calisthenics, and progress little by little until you can achieve a V position, making ankle to the barbell and have resistance in L-sit, but beyond that, I don't think it's healthy
@DrGains2 жыл бұрын
That's incorrect. It's not a matter of isolation - complete isolation is impossible in resistance training. It's a matter of preferential targeting as a result of nonhomogenous hypertrophy. Countless studies have proven it. You can watch my inner chest video for more details. I'll go in depth on the upper vs lower ab principle in the near future.

@@DrGains With all the respect, the rectus abdomini cant be worked more in the lower part than the upper one, bc the fibbers are vertical, and you cannot manage that because it's a matter of biomechanic in the body. It's like saying that you want to work more the lower part of the large head of the biceps, that ridiculous (You can put the biceps tendon in stress but you can't isolate or work more the lower part of it, because are vertical fibers and the contraction will be in the entire group of vertical fibers) That doesnt mean that doing hip flexion youre working more the lower part of the abdominal, that's just the burning in the hip flexors and all the entire ab working in isometry bro. The Abdominal just rolls up the abdomen

Hanging leg raises will do the same shit. Don’t be that guy who’s sitting on the floor at your dirty ass gym.
@DrGains2 жыл бұрын
No, they won't. First, when you do hanging leg raises, your lower back and pelvis swing backward as you lift your legs up, which significantly decreases the moment of the target muscles, which decreases their ability to generate force, which decreases the effectiveness of the workout. In the above exercise, the floor prevents that from happening. Second, the cables eliminate the use of momentum from the swinging itself - which is another issue with hanging leg raises. Third, with hanging raises you can only use as much weight as you can hold between your feet. Fourth, and perhaps most importantly, you can't apply independent resistance to each leg separately, which is necessary in 3 of the 4 stages of this progression, and essential for balanced training of the hip flexors. Isolateral training is important for the abs and core as well - but particularly so for the hip flexors. Don't be afraid of getting a little dirty.
