Muscle Control

maxick muscle control

This is a means of physical culture that has fallen by the wayside over the years, much like hand balancing. Muscle control involves flexing and relaxing the muscles individually and in groups.

By practicing these moves you not only gain a stronger command of the muscles but will be able to make them dance. Many old time strongmen like Maxick and Otto Arco had muscle control in their acts. They would move from position to position showing off their muscles and the control they had over them.

But this practice also increase your mind-muscle connection. And that means on thing: you become stronger.

Their are tons of different moves for every muscle in the body. Maxick and others had courses available to teach this art. Though some of them promoted these as the end-all be-all of strength, I think its better to add in to your other training. Definitely muscle control is different from other methods and you should gain the benefits by giving it some practice.

Here is a video showing off some abdominal muscle control The first two moves, flexing and the vacuum, can be done by most anyone and certainly after a little practice. The second two, the rope and belly dancing, may take a little more.
