Big Muscles don't supply power

Physically impossible!
Physically impossible aye....from the man himself.

Tomasello on the big muscles trying to generate power.

Tomasello: Don’t let your right elbow go behind you, it’s got to stay in front. Straight up…..Uncock….Yeah uncock the elbow…. nice and smooth….how easy can you do it.

Yeah that’s good….then you just face the target right.

Can you appreciate that… if that was a hammer or an axe and all that you did was this (drop it), how much power would that generate all by itself.

See, it isn’t that the hips are producing power, they are not, they are only maintaining the velocity that you generated here (uncocking of the right elbow, karate chop), that’s all they do….hips don’t generate power….it’s just to continue the speed that you generated here (karate chop)….how long does this take to get going there (uncocking the right elbow), not very long….and the hips continue that motion, that’s all…..So the big muscles do not supply power…but they want to." Tom Tomasello October 1993.

Thanks Mr. Tomasello for clearing that up....(Karate Chop it). Do you really understand TGM.
