Anterior Reach Series- Muscle "Engagement" vs. Muscle "Overload"

...Now this is a topic that many trainers get excited about while others may not understand the value in both training principles. When muscles do not activate properly for a movement or exercise, overloading that muscle with more resistance is not the only approach to follow for positive gains. For example, when working with gluteal muscles and improving their function, adding the Anterior Reach Series to the warm up routine will increase gluteal muscle fiber recruitment prior to the overloaded sets. The skillful approach to properly innervating muscles is an example of using muscle "engagement" rather than muscle "overload".

The overload principle is a popular go-to. However, properly engaging muscles and increasing the fiber recruitment patterns can be done with patience and finesse, while decreasing the risk of injury.
