Tips on Activating and Building Lats
3:19:25 - 3:24:11 (04:46)
The lats are an interesting muscle group because they can be difficult to activate, but a useful heuristic is that if you can contract your lats just standing, you will likely contract them well when lifting. Other muscle groups like deltoids can be more of a challenge to activate and isolate.

The importance of counting working sets and feeling the appropriate muscle groups during a workout is discussed in this podcast.

Summary
The importance of counting working sets and feeling the appropriate muscle groups during a workout is discussed in this podcast. Muscle groups that are easy to isolate when under load are also easy to contract without any load.

The early development is superimposed on a genetic template which predicts which muscle groups are going to be easier or harder to isolate and train.

Summary
The early development is superimposed on a genetic template which predicts which muscle groups are going to be easier or harder to isolate and train. Some muscle groups such as deltoids are very challenging to activate and isolate, while lats are interestingly one of the more difficult muscle groups to learn how to activate.

I suppose gymnastics would probably be the best sport all around in terms of movement in multiple planes and activating all the different muscle groups.

I suppose gymnastics would probably be the best sport all around in terms of movement in multiple planes and activating all the different muscle groups. Skateboarding is a sport that requires proprioceptive input. Ball sports have the beauty of reaction and things like that.
