The Cavalier Test - transformative
One of the most valuable lessons I learned from you is that when training to increase muscle size, instead of focusing on moving weights, it's more effective to challenge the muscles. Another tip I picked up from my bodybuilder friend Ben Ski is to contract the muscles really hard. This can be tested with the 'cavalier test', where if flexing the muscle causes a cramp-like sensation, it indicates good muscle stimulation. When exercising, the goal is to aim for this feeling in each repetition.
