Show Notes/Description:
In this episode, Ben Pakulski explains why exercise isn’t about effort, sweat, or chasing heavier weight. It’s about creating a stimulus worthy of adaptation. Ben breaks down how biomechanics, tension over time, and precise muscle contraction dictate whether your body grows stronger or breaks down. You’ll learn why slowing down accelerates results, how control beats intensity, and why breathing and walking are foundational skills most lifters ignore. If you want muscle growth, pain-free training, and predictable progress, this episode will change how you train forever.
Points To Watch Out For:
- Why biomechanics matter more than appearances
- How tension over time drives adaptation
- Why control beats heavier weight
- How muscles actually learn movement
- 8 exercises you must master.
