These videos are seriously saving my A$$ when it comes to studying for the CSCS. If you're more of a visual/Lecture type learner, like me, he explains a lot of the concepts in the book that are sometimes difficult to connect on paper. Thanks Dr. Goodin, you're making a difference!!!
So helpful! Explains a lot. Like why such an increase in strength without size increase, or why such an increase in strength at the beginning of training.
I found this video to be very interesting! Something I found interesting was how when an individual is new to weight training they will make dramatic gains in strength in power in the first couple weeks but not muscle size. The involvement of neural motor units plays a role in all this which is very interesting.
I really liked learning about the size principle and how the low threshold fibers are recruited first but through training the high threshold units can be trained to activate first to achieve greater power.
I find it so crazy how quickly our body can have neurological adaptations after a new training program. I also had no idea that our neuromuscular junction can increase in size.
It’s so interesting to me how even the Type I slow twitch muscle fibers are still involved in fast twitch movements and can inc in size over time with resistance training!
The explanation of Henneman's size principle along the graph were very helpful in understanding it! This is well explained and it's way easier than trying to understand the book
I think it's super cool that advanced lifters can bypass Henneman's Size Principle and recruit higher threshold/larger muscle fibers first to promote greater power or speed in a movement. The way our body's can adapt to training is fascinating.
I am so happy I found you!! I have been wishing I was able to learn this material in a lecture format vs just reading the textbook. Your videos are going to be in my study routine from here on out! Thank you for this content!!!
The idea of having neurological adaptations occur so soon after starting a new training program is super interesting to me. Also the diagrams in this video were super helpful for me to visualize the process.
I think it is so interesting that our body is able to make changes neurologically after only 1-3 days of resistance/anaerobic training. It would be crazy to think about how training would be different if humans saw changes in their muscles that fast
Such an awesome video! I have always wondered why there are greater adaptations when people first start training, so learning about the plasticity of the neural system and all the improvements that contribute to this really allowed me to grasp this content and now it all makes sense!
I found that by exercising anaerobically unilaterally, it actually is able to make improvements on the other side of the body that is untrained in the neuromuscular. Thank you!
Great lecture on the Neural side of anaerobic training and the changes happening in our body that we can't see. Henneman's principle is fairly straight forward to understand and to think of it in operation. I could see how with rigorous specified training you could teach your body to essentially skips unneeded step to produce more power.
The neural system is so cool! I found it interesting how if you only train one side of the body, the other side will still gain some benefits. Great video!
Having these videos is a very helpful tool on top of reading the book. It is interesting to see the muscle fiber graph size principle! Thank you, Dr. Goodin!
What a fascinating video! I think it is so interesting how quickly and "plastic" our neural adaptations are. I was not familiar with cross education prior to this video and am kind of mind blown. Thank you!
wow it's crazy to learn about how interconnected the body is that the opposite side that is being trained can still reap benefits neurologically! Thank you for the visuals!
I enjoyed learning about cross-education from the electromyography studies. The human body continues to amaze me in terms of how it communicates neurally to keep the body balanced.
It is very interesting to see how the body creates neural adaptations over time. I found it interesting that the first four weeks of strength gains are largely due to the effects of neural adaptations.
It was crazy to learn that someone who is untrained will have more strength unilaterally than bilaterally because the neuro factors are protecting the body. Thank you for the video!
I had not known about the adaptions our body first make were first at the neural level! I thought that was pretty cool to learn about and how it is the muscle that has to take more time to adapt to. Really helped me with taking in the content in this section of the reading!
I found that the Hennemans Size Principle to be the most interesting concept in this lecture. Specifically how highly trained weight lofters can use synapses out of order instead of in order like an average person uses them. I think that is so cool.
The bilateral deficit in trained individuals is very interesting how body will put a governor on us to protect ourselves, but through training we can take the governor off.
Something I learned that I find really interesting is the bilateral deficit in untrained individuals. It's fascinating to me how people can be stronger in one leg individually than in both legs with double that weight.
So cool that neural adaptations tend to happen faster than muscular ones, and that even if you are not seeing physical progress, the progress is still happening within your body!
The idea of cross education is so interesting to me! I previously had assumed that training one side of your body left the other side with little to no benefits at all, when really there are neural adaptations being made even in the absence of muscular adaptations.
The cross-education effect seems like an effect that could be beneficial when working with those with stroke or Parkinson's disease in the unilateral stages.
I was really surprised with the way the neural adaptations worked. That's something that I've noticed in myself but just figured they were coincidental
I found it really interesting how in some untrained individuals there is a bilateral deficit. I didn't know that the force produced from both limbs could be lower than the force produced unilaterally.
I found it interesting how it takes the muscular system a while to catch up to the neural system when you are making gains. I always thought the two progressed at the same rate.
I find it very interesting how for lower intensity movements, type 1 fibers are being recruited first. As the intensity increases, so does the fiber type going from 1 to 2 which happens within milliseconds.
It was interesting to learn that an untrained individual would be stronger unilaterally. Generally speaking, you should be able to double the weight bilaterally but they would not be able to do that.
It's really interesting that with strength training individuals they can almost bypass the lower threshold motor units to increase the rate of force development.
Another great video from Dr. Goodin! Thanks again for taking so much time to create great content for your students! #getGoodinviral! I had no idea that a tiny tap on the patellar tendon does so much concerning the spindles and motor units. I guess that is cool to know especially because when I would go to the doctor as a kid, I always wondered why they'd tap my knee!
Also I just watched this video again to help me understand better before I take the quiz and I loved that little clip at the end with your kiddos! All too familiar to me as a live-in nanny, Joys of working from home!
This has me wondering about the possible order or detraining adaptations. Does neural adaptations decline before a muscle starts to atrophy if an athletes stops training or is injured
Great video!! I know you mentioned that adaptations can start as early as 1 week into a new program, but I'm curious how long these adaptations last before returning back to its normal state?
I thought it was really interesting how untrained individuals are stronger unilaterally versus bilaterally. Especially how you pointed out about how it takes the muscle system to catch up to the neural system a few weeks after training.
Hi Sir, excellent work. If i want to recruit first the fast llx fibers on an exercise what can i do? Start the exercise more rapidly/explosively or do it at higher speed?
I think it is really interesting how advanced lifters can recruit muscle fibers in a non-consecutive order in order to promote greater power in a movement.

Cross education was something I had of before, it was nice to hear it was a real, studied phenomenon.
I found this video to be very interesting! Something I found interesting was how when an individual is new to weight training they will make dramatic gains in strength in power in the first couple weeks but not muscle size. The involvement of neural motor units plays a role in all this which is very interesting.
This video was so interesting and so helpful in understanding the neural adaptations in anaerobic adaptations.
This video was really interesting! I particularly liked learning about cross-education and bilateral deficit in untrained individuals!
I really liked learning about the size principle and how the low threshold fibers are recruited first but through training the high threshold units can be trained to activate first to achieve greater power.
The size principle chart was really helpful to better understand the concept
the cross educaton concept is so interesting. thank you!
Bilateral deficit is really interesting especially with how you explained it
I find it so crazy how quickly our body can have neurological adaptations after a new training program. I also had no idea that our neuromuscular junction can increase in size.
Cool to see with the patellar reflex that it signals to the spine and not to the brain, it's an immediate reaction.
I was always curious about the cross education phenomenon. This video certainly help me understand it a bit better.
It’s so interesting to me how even the Type I slow twitch muscle fibers are still involved in fast twitch movements and can inc in size over time with resistance training!
The explanation of Henneman's size principle along the graph were very helpful in understanding it! This is well explained and it's way easier than trying to understand the book
Thank you for this video! I found the central adaptations and adaptations of motor units to be a very interesting topic to learn about!
I think it's super cool that advanced lifters can bypass Henneman's Size Principle and recruit higher threshold/larger muscle fibers first to promote greater power or speed in a movement. The way our body's can adapt to training is fascinating.
The fact that our bodies like to be symmetrical and can make neurological adaptations to an untrained area is crazy!
I had no idea that the neural adaptations happen faster than the muscular, thanks for pointing that out!
the cross education was the most interesting to me because of how you can train one side of your body and the other side reaps the benefits as well.
I am so happy I found you!! I have been wishing I was able to learn this material in a lecture format vs just reading the textbook. Your videos are going to be in my study routine from here on out! Thank you for this content!!!
I really enjoyed this video and I actually find the part about Bilateral deficit to actually be pretty interesting.
The idea of having neurological adaptations occur so soon after starting a new training program is super interesting to me. Also the diagrams in this video were super helpful for me to visualize the process.
The idea of cross education in order to increase the neural benefits was really interesting to me!
I think it is so interesting that our body is able to make changes neurologically after only 1-3 days of resistance/anaerobic training. It would be crazy to think about how training would be different if humans saw changes in their muscles that fast

What a fascinating video! I think it is so interesting how quickly and "plastic" our neural adaptations are. I was not familiar with cross education prior to this video and am kind of mind blown. Thank you!
It was cool to learn that advanced lifters can gain the ability to activate type II fibers first instead of after type I!
It was really cool to learn how our muscles are able to grow more with the more motor units our bodies are able to recruit.
I thought it was so cool to learn about the Bilateral Deficit in Untrained Individuals!! The fact that our bodies protect us is so cool!!
To get big we must not only become stronger, but our connection to our muscles must become stronger go neuromuscular components!
The size principle chart really helped me understand Henneman's Principle!
wow it's crazy to learn about how interconnected the body is that the opposite side that is being trained can still reap benefits neurologically! Thank you for the visuals!
The concept of cross-education is so interesting to me. It's incredible how a muscle that isn't even being used can slightly adapt to a load!
I enjoyed learning about cross-education from the electromyography studies. The human body continues to amaze me in terms of how it communicates neurally to keep the body balanced.
It is very interesting to see how the body creates neural adaptations over time. I found it interesting that the first four weeks of strength gains are largely due to the effects of neural adaptations.
The stretch reflex is super cool! It's nice that out body has some safety mechanisms to tell us to slow our roll when we're overdoing things :)
The point that really intrigued me was how advanced lifters can recruit larger motor units first to create greater power and speed
Super cool that the stretch reflex can possibly be enhanced! Great video as as always Dr. Goodin
Gotta love them newbie gainz!
It’s amazing how our body does all of this without a second thought. Especially with motor unit recruitment over time.
It was crazy to learn that someone who is untrained will have more strength unilaterally than bilaterally because the neuro factors are protecting the body. Thank you for the video!

Never knew about the transition from type IIx to IIa! Muscle fibers can become oxidative! Very interesting
It is fascinating how resistance training can decrease antagonist activation and prevent it from impeding the agonist muscles of the exercise.
I found that the Hennemans Size Principle to be the most interesting concept in this lecture. Specifically how highly trained weight lofters can use synapses out of order instead of in order like an average person uses them. I think that is so cool.
The bilateral deficit in trained individuals is very interesting how body will put a governor on us to protect ourselves, but through training we can take the governor off.
I was surprised to learn that the 4 weeks of training has such an impact on the neural system.
Something I learned that I find really interesting is the bilateral deficit in untrained individuals. It's fascinating to me how people can be stronger in one leg individually than in both legs with double that weight.
It was incredibly interesting with how motor cortex activity increases when the greater the force developed is when new exercises are being learned
Going over this in Ex. Phys. Very interesting to see the Muscle spindles and GTO thresholds improve as well
Thank you for making these videos
These videos are so helpful thank you!
So cool that neural adaptations tend to happen faster than muscular ones, and that even if you are not seeing physical progress, the progress is still happening within your body!
Cool to see how in advanced lifters they can adapt to recruits larger motor units to promote power and speed in their movements.
Keep up the good work man.

really interesting how the nervous system plays a role in the single leg vs double leg squat
Its crazy that it takes the muscle system a few weeks to catch up to the neural system after training.

Doctor Jacob! Will you cover all of the other chapters on the CSCS book?
Soon my friend!
@@DrJacobGoodin Thank you doc
I thought it was really interesting how untrained individuals are stronger unilaterally versus bilaterally. Especially how you pointed out about how it takes the muscle system to catch up to the neural system a few weeks after training.
Please explain bilateral facilitation.
Hi Sir, excellent work. If i want to recruit first the fast llx fibers on an exercise what can i do? Start the exercise more rapidly/explosively or do it at higher speed?
first 4 weeks of strength gains will be almost 100% due to neural adaptations
Does type 1 fiber also increase in cross section area with resistance training ?
how long these adaptations last before returning back to its normal state?
why are some motor units smaller than others ?
Those first two weeks go by real quick when you're making strength progress lol
I think its very interesting how untrained individuals (like myself) are stronger unilaterally versus bilaterally.
❤🎉😂
