I'll try keep this as simple and short as possible, I'm struggling to completely wrap my head around it but it makes sense in my head, what doesn't make sense is that if I'm correct then I've been taught it wrong, but I don't feel confident enough to be like 'this is what I believe is right even without experience ect'.
To keep a standing armbar on and keep the arm straight, I was taught to grind the forearm against the Golgi tendon. I've always done this on the centre of the tricep and it's worked fine. My problem being is; perhaps it's not any of the Golgi tendons I'm attacking but rather the muscle spindles.
I'm going to add an obligatory not a neuroscientist or amazing martial artist here, which I believe fuels my lack of confidence in my own thinking. But I am always open to constructively critisizing my own training with the hope to learn more/improve.
The Golgi tendons are located within the tendons ipsilateral to each muscle in the body. These measure stress that the muscle is under in order to prevent harm. If I tried to lift a car, they'd force my muscle's to relax so I wouldn't rip my muscle and tendon away from the bone, like sometimes how a powerlifter may have their arms just collapse if the weight is just too much. This being the inverse myotatic reflex.
The muscle spindles located intramuscularly measure muscle length the appropriate stretching of the muscle. It prevents the muscle being stretched too far and tearing I believe.
Okay, this is my thinking; granted I've always applied it around the centre of the tricep and it's worked fine, this wouldn't be where I'd think the tendons to be, but rather I'm imagining I'm providing a lot of direct (perhaps not exactly direct but as close as I can) stimuli to the muscle spindles. I imagine this mimicks the stimuli needed to start sending afferent responses to the nervous system which then proceeds to send an efferent response in return for each afferent response. I believe this sends EPSP (excitatory postsynaptic potential) back to the muscle to increase action potential for the muscle to activate. This process being the myotatic reflex.
When doing a standing armbar seemingly everyone I've trained with tries to power out and lifts their elbow and curls their arm inwards, but to get their arm straight I'd have to invoke a myotatic reflex and not an inverse myotatic reflex. Otherwise an inverse myotatic reflex would just relax the muscle, but they wouldn't be using their tricep to pull their
... keep reading on reddit ➡It's a very basic doubt tho. It's given that muscle spindle responds to increased stretch in the muscle fibre and activates agonist muscle, simultaneously inhibits the antagonist muscle to prevent overstretching. How does inhibition of the antagonist muscle prevent overstretching? Shouldn't it be activation?
I understand that the change in length of a muscle spindle initiates a stretch reflex.
Do the intrafusal fibers contract during a stretch reflex? If yes, how do they contract and why do they contract?
There is strong sensory feedback during a cardiac infarction, a cramp in cardiac muscle. Is there the equivalent of spindle cells and gamma motorneuron feedback in cardiac muscle? Are we unable to sense tension in cardiac muscle? Is there a tension feedback regulation system in cardiac muscle?
I understand the basics of what they do, but I can't really figure out their innervation pathways. Are they the same? I know they go into the spinal column, but does the GTO go into the brain as well? Any light you could shed on that would be helpful. Thanks!
My husband bought me a new Flat Iron Spinning Wheel for Christmas. Building the wheel itself felt like an accomplishment. Now that everything is nice and oiled up, time to feed the wheel. Unfortunately I’m finding myself making a lot of mistakes. Holding my right thumb to tightly and frequently over spinning. Forgetting to pedal leading to stopping or slowing the wheel. YouTube videos have become a bit frustrating, “Look at how easy this is”. Certainly doesn’t feel easy at the moment.
I’m hoping to crowdsource some tips from fellow spinners when they were first beginning. What was helpful learning along the way? Does practice make perfect? How important is posture?
Thanks!
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Note to new readers: Book 1, comprising Chapters 1 through 38, have been taken down and moved to Kindle Unlimited. If you're interested in reading the story from the beginning, you can find it here.
For the sake of HFY's Rule 7, here's a 350+ word description of Book 1 in pastebin form so this post doesn't get too cluttered.

Chapter 82
Zamira’s eyes fluttered open.
The first thing she became aware of was an aching in her head. Not one so bad that it was debilitating; rather, it was a dull sort of pain that was both consistent and persistent. With great care, she touched her fingers to her forehead, rubbing gently to ease the soreness. As the last dregs of sleep faded, and her vision cleared, she next became aware of her friends surrounding her bedside in a ring of apprehension. One by one, they noticed that she was awake, and their faces lit up like miniature suns.
“Hello, everyone.” she muttered, her voice soft as to not provoke the soreness monsters living in her head. “My apologies, but there seems to be a blind spot in my memories. What happened? Why do you all look so concerned? I remember Rob teaching me Fiendish, and then...”
She blinked. “Ah.” Scrolling through her text log painted a grim portrait. Zamira’s skin prickled with goosebumps when she saw the point at which her HP had dropped below 50, barely stabilizing afterwards via the ministrations of the Deserters’ Healers. Antecedent to those Healing spells were a litany of HP Potions keeping her alive, so many that Rob must have emptied nearly his entire stock in Storage.
And above every message, at the text log’s zenith, was a practical joke.
Name: Auto-Translate (Fiendish Speech)
Prerequisite: 30 Mind, listen to at least several hundred hours of conversation in Fiendish, and spend a moderate amount of time trying to understand it.
Description: Automatically translates any Fiendish speech you hear into Common. Was traversing a thorny road worth the prize at the end? Many would call you a fool, but as they say, the line between genius and idiocy is determined by success.
I see, Zamira thought, in a dry tone. So this is what it feels like to be a victim of the system’s subtle mockery. I can’t say I particularly care for it.
She had just finished perusing the last of the messages when Keira dashed forward and hugged her.
For a moment, everything was wonderful and warm. Then t
... keep reading on reddit ➡Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
And now I’m cannelloni
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
And boy are my arms legs.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
Put it on my bill
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
He lost May
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
Calcium, nickel, neon
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

Do your worst!
Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
