Engaging muscles to increase strength and hypertrophy.
1:14:37 - 1:19:17 (04:40)
Learning to engage particular muscle groups can help in increasing strength and hypertrophy, preventing injury by avoiding muscle imbalances, and helping to overcome injury. Muscle groups that can be contracted to a slightly painful contraction would grow more readily.

Muscle hypertrophy
Summary
Inability to engage specific muscles can limit hypertrophy and increasing strength. Practicing isolation techniques, increasing time under tension and knowing individual muscle physiology can potentially increase motor unit recruitment and hypertrophy.
