4/5/2021 Strongman Profile: Maxick Teaches Us the Lost Art of Muscle Control | Breaking Muscle
Una cosa es cierta a ciencia cierta. Maxick era un gran levantador de pesas a pesar de no
pasar mucho tiempo con pesas. Los usó para demostrar su fuerza, pero la mayor parte de su
práctica no fue con ellos . Fue uno de los primeros en poner más del doble de peso
corporal por encima de la cabeza, moviendo 322.5 libras con un peso corporal de 145
libras . También realizó una presión militar estricta de 222 libras en estilo fácil. De hecho,
tenía tanta confianza en sus habilidades que hizo este desafío:

I will match myself to lift against any man in the world, weight for weight on pure
strength lifts. I will even reduce my weight to 9 stone 7 lbs. to meet a man of
that weight if he does not care to take advantage of the weight for weight offer.
Further I will undertake not to indulge in any exercise with weights or to practice
with bars of any description for at least three months before the test if desired
by my opponent.
As defined by Maxick, “To be able by the exercise of will-power to contract certain muscles
while relaxing others antagonistic to them is what is meant by muscle control.” If you think
about lifting a weight or doing a bodyweight exercise, the movement comes from the action of
the muscles. Certain muscles are contracted in groups or isolation, depending on the
exercise, which causes the weight to move. There are whole systems built around
generating more and more contraction. This practice is useful as that means you will be
stronger, but there is a problem in doing it. Maxick explained:
The old-time strong man developed his muscles solely by means of contraction
of them. He had an idea that the more he exercised them by contraction, the
stronger he must become - oblivious of the fact that his toughened muscles
were always being impeded in the work by the antagonism of opposed muscles.
Thus, such a man had invariably to expend about twice as much energy
as was necessary for the work he had to perform.
Other systems advise using just as much contraction as necessary when doing exercises. This
is similar in many respects as to what Maxick said here, although they have different means of
getting to this point:
those which are not required are relaxed. The whole strength of the muscles
is applied to accomplish the desired end.
In practicing with muscle control you’re not working on lifting but instead focusing your mind on
the contraction and relaxation of muscles. This may sound easier than it actually is.When
trying to isolate the contraction in a single muscle, such as the latissimus dorsi, you’ll likely find
that other nearby muscles flex as well. Go ahead and try this now. See if you can contract
your lats without the pectorals, shoulders, or any other muscles coming into play. Said

Doing muscle control in isolation is a beginning step. To then take this control and apply it
while lifting a weight, sequencing the right muscles for contraction and others for relaxation,
will take a lot more time and effort in practicing.
It is probably for this reason that very few people talk about doing muscle control today. Based
on the theory of how it works, I can see how it could lead to becoming much stronger. But to
get to that point would take dedication of a different kind then what people do in the gym. You
wouldn’t hit personal records in lifts but instead may spend hours to improve your isolation of
single muscles. The fact is I don’t know of anyone alive today that attributes his or her
great strength to muscle control alone. I do know of several people who have performed
muscle control in conjunction with other methods, or by itself for a period of time, and gotten
positive results.
Although Maxick was the most famous proponent of muscle control, there were many
others such as Otto Arco, Eugene Sandow, Edward Aston, and Antone Matysek. Sandow
liked to perform muscle control while reading the newspaper in the mornings. He also
advocated lifting two-pound dumbbells while using muscle control to apply the real work in the
exercises.
Just how far can it be taken? Check out this photo of Professor Chandrashekhar where he has
isolated a tendon in his abdomen and one side of his rectus abdominis while performing the
abdominal vacuum.

The following are the first two exercises adapted from Maxick’s most popular book, Muscle
Control. Rather than the isolation of particular muscles, the idea in these exercises is to

train the full body all at once. Thus the first exercise is full body relaxation and the second is
a full body contraction.

Stand tall and think in turn of each body part from the head down to the toes. Consciously find
any tension in any muscle and relax it. Be careful when you relax that you do not accidentally
cause any contraction of other muscles in your body.
Also note that muscles are not absolutely contracted or relaxed but are degrees of one
or the other. Thus you can work to get more and more relaxed. While standing, a little bit of
tension will be needed to keep yourself erect, otherwise you’d collapse to the floor, but no
more than that. Your legs should almost give out under you.

Once you have attained full body relaxation, contract every muscle all at the same time. You
can hold your breath while doing this, but then it should only be maintained for a short time. It
can be sustained longer while doing shallow breathing under tension.
When you do this exercise you may believe that every muscle is contracted, but you’ve likely
missed some that are not under proper control. Like with the relaxation exercise, scan your
body from head to toe to note any muscles you have missed and contract them. Make
sure no other muscles relax while doing this.
An alternative way to practice this exercise is to start in full body relaxation, then starting at the
head contract each muscle in turn as you move down the body, being careful to maintain
contraction as you move downward.
