Also some advice It works for me in some muscle groups.
Im good at recruiting lats, legs, traps and arms(these are easy), and I suck at chest and shoulders.
For me:
Lats->The key for lats exercises, is to to take a big streeeeeeeeeeeeeetch, and then keep tension for a couple of seconds on the contracted portions.(This kills my lats!), the stretch its the most important here…
Traps-> Specifically on shrugs, dont just shrug the way up and down, maintain your traps contracted really hard for a few seconds on the top.
quads-> With legs the best results ive got are heavy weights and high reps, I think they respond very well for TUT, but also heavy weights, If 20 reps squats its not an option for you, then do some heavy leg pressing for high reps, with less danger when going to an extremly intensity(high reps, heavy weight)
hams-> As lats, feeeeeeel the streeeeeeeeeeeeeetch!!!
This are my tips for those muscle groups, feel free to add your own advices!

This is all correct except i would argue the hams are like biceps so while the stretch is important its much more so the peak contraction

I would imagine this is why JM focuses on burn-repping in the top range of the rep?[/quote]
For hamstring curls? I thought he did his partials out of the bottom

Well, that’s what I meant. I considered a straight leg to be at the “top”… as in starting a rep. (Not to mention I only have a seated leg curl in my home gym).

lol yeah that makes sense… It’d be pretty difficult to rep out partials at the contracted position of a leg curl lol
