speed

[md]

Scrap I am intrigued by this. The exercise standing on one leg with your eyes shut is basically a proprioception exercise. As far as I'm aware sensory nerves in the ankle for example, tell the brain that there is movement - once that movement reaches a certain point the brain then releases an impulse to contract the necessary muscles to maintain balance. The muscles generally overcompensate then the same thing happens on the opposing side. The greater the movement on either side means the poorer the balance is and has more of an effect on the equilibrium of the inner ear which detects the amount of movement and the velocity of the movement produced in the head.

The same principles can apply to multiple dynamic movements. The way I understand it, is that if you can decrease any additional movements apart from the desired ones, including head movement the muscles will receive the correct signals from the brain to produce the optimum movement.

what the hell does any of this have to do with speed? or balance, for that matter?

[Scrap]

One hell of a lot von, Im of to the gym will post later MD

It's amazing the speed you can move to regain your balance.

[Scrap]

MD sent you a pm

[Von Milash]

if you're off balance you can't be fast. got it.

[Scrap]

Wrong

[Von Milash]

well why don't you try to explain some of this instead of having us stand on one foot with eyes closed getting nothing but dizzy.

It's amazing the speed you can move to regain your balance.

right. so how do we apply this to a left hook? truth is, it can't. It's micro-level autonomic nerve impulses vs conscious gross motor movements.

Sorry scrap, I'm not buying this one.

Basically for effect, and for you to feel what happens when you eliminate a primory sense what causes the problem. The head is at the top of the body for a reason, and its not so you take a better photo, different animal types have radar in different positions in their head for a reason, also different size attributes for doing so to alert the brain. I dont know about other speices, but our eyes are the only sense that doesnt go directly to the brain, and both eyes dont see the same thing. Eliminate the eyes and make the muscle neurons adapt to speed qiucker, thats one way. there are others md hit on one, non movement of the oral cavety, the head.

[Scrap]

MD said that and Hes right

[Scrap]

What makes the power and speed in the left hook is stability of the head and speed of the right shoulder and stability of your big toes

[Von Milash]

ok, distill it down to bare bones here. What's your take-away message? How do we apply this? Shaddow box with our eyes closed? Or just practice standing on one foot with our eyes closed?

I'll look like a retard at my gym. lol.

If you hold your horses, for a highly inteligent man of which Im sure you are, be patient. 30 years ago when we were using elastic and training in water people thought I was mad [time has proved them right I am mad]. Why is every body doing it now, because it works and its safe and egos wont be harmed its an every day thing. I bet the next thing people will start seeing is people running with parrachutes tide to their heads now that would be silly. Ill pm you some ideas have a cc for your interest

Von oh and by the way you can put your foot down now HEHE
