Muscle control, or the Maxalding system, teaches the user the ability to consciously manipulate muscle. This can be used for elaborate displays of flexing that look almost superhuman. However, it can also be used to increase the power and efficiency of the muscles.

You use muscle control any time you cause your pecs to dance, or flex your bicep. Bodybuilders use the "mind muscle connection" when they target specific muscle groups during an exercise.

And any advanced movement will require a certain amount of specific muscle control and proprioception.

But, with practice, you can increase the connectivity and thereby, potentially, tap into a greater proportion of your own strength. Being able to completely relax muscles, for example, can reduce resistance presented by antagonist muscles that could otherwise slow you down. Likewise, just as you can strengthen a connection with a muscle to flex it, you can also increase the proportion of motor units you're able to engage during a given movement.

This is a highly theoretical video exploring everything from Maxick and Maxlading, to qi gong, to neuroscience. There are no concrete conclusions, only some interesting questions and a few tricks you can try to increase your own control.

Enjoy!
