Perception of effort, not muscle fatigue, limits endurance performance

Been experimenting in this kind of field for some time. Its a very interesting Field, Gravity and the concept of Feel and touch ie Impact. I can tell you now there has been a Breakthrough.

I love breakthroughs, and all of your posts Scrap, so please share....

As soon as the video is completed, Ill put it up. It has had 6 years of Tests done on the system, the Sports Council bless them have put thousands in, in fact the top Uni on Sports Science are doing a 3 year PHd study on the concept. I can say the early results baffled many. Aerobic capacity with Anaerobic results, oh and no impact .

There's storys of old women dead lifting cars that were crushing people etc because the of the adrenalin in the situations people are able to push their bodys to their very limit.

What you don't hear is that these people don't do these things, stroll home and eat some cornflakes... they tear there muscle fibres, crush rupture, connective tissue and almost or actually snap their tendons.

Your muscles never reach full contraction because they'd tear themselves apart, your nerve impulse don't want to be that strong, that's why if somebody grips a live wire/fence etc the current will make it so that they are unable to let go and are VERY hard to prize off.

That's why your mind limits your body, it is prolonging your tissue from long term damage.

Take for example the golgi tendon organ, it's job is to detect when a muscle is trying to generate force against an object that requires more force than to move than the muscle fibre and tendons can tolerate with out serious damage - if they reach this point than the golgi force the muscle to relax.

Lets say that there were two handles in a concrete floor and you squatted down and held them and then tried to stand up with out letting go of them, if nervous system wasn't imposing limits then you would literally tear the majority of the muscles in your body away from the bones as you stood.

I know that the article is about endurance rather than strength but the point I'm making is body is limited within itself for a certain reason too - various molecules needed by the body, enzymes, peptides, minerals etc all get used up during activity your body will not let you deplete these past a certain point because it needs them to function on the most basic of levels (ie: comatose ) deplete these through continous activity and you've got problems.

Doesn't mean that you shouldn't be pushing yourself in training, but you have to train smart, if you were smashing your limits continoiusly all you';d do is exceed your limit to recover and adapt to training, remember

training, stress, stimulate, rest, adapt, progress.

^ your training needs ALL of those and in that order and there needs to be a balance.

and of course mentally during competition you'll be able to push out that extra 5-10%, but this has been known for decades, if not centruries.
