DEFINITION
DEFINITION
Muscle control is the physical ability to trigger a specific muscle of the body in order to contract connected hard tissue without causing any movement or causing one to an in-movable direction, making the muscle itself move.
Types of Control
Types of Control
1. Based on the contraction method
1. Based on the contraction method
Bounce: If the entire muscle is contracting suddenly.
Roll: If the muscle fibers are contracting progressively and linearly, one after the other.
Shake: If the entire muscle contracts so fast that it doesn't have enough time to fully relax, which means that the starting point of the performance is the mid-flexed position and the finishing point the fully-flexed position.
Pulse: If the entire muscle contracts fast but softly, not reaching the fully-flexed position but as high as the mid-flexed position, which means that the starting point of the performance is the relaxed position and finishing point the mid-flexed position. It is the opposite of shake.
Pseudo[Bounce/Roll]: If the contraction is happening involuntarily, usually because the muscle control performance of some other muscle is neuro-activating the pseudo[bouncing/rolling] muscle.
2. Based on the muscle group relation
2. Based on the muscle group relation
Mono: If the control is performed on one of the two muscles of a group, we refer to it as mono performance (ex. bouncing one of the two pecs).
Double: If the control is performed on both muscles of a group simultaneously (ex. bouncing both pecs simultaneously).
Linear: If the control is performed on both muscles of a group one after the other (ex. bouncing one of the pecs and then the other).

Maximum Potential Bounce Frequency (MPBF) is the natural limit and frequency at which the muscle merely has the time to fully relax before the next bounce, being physically impossible to bounce any faster as it won't have the time necessary to relax until the next bounce. Any bounce with a higher frequency than MPBF will result to muscle shake.
Maximum Bounce Frequency (MBF) is the relative to skill maximum frequency a performer can reach before transitioning to shake or failing to continue bouncing. The higher the skill, the higher the MBF with MPBF being the limit (MPBF equals MBF in mastered bounce control).
It is defining that no other muscles which could facilitate the effect are not used during the demonstration of the muscle control skill.
Muscle control is usually performed by individuals of above-average muscle mass, low body fat and generally fit physiques with bodybuilders being the most famous performers.
We focus on male muscle control on this site but the same applies for the females as well.
Muscle control is a lost art, an artistic performance of mind-muscle connection; it was a well-known and extensively demonstrated skill back at the Golden Era of Bodybuilding. Many bodybuilders had developed unprecedented control over most of their musculature, something that allowed them to use it as stunts during bodybuilding contests, pose better and be able to activate, isolate and use their muscle groups more efficiently and fully.
Above all the muscle controls, pec bounce (a sudden contraction of the pectoralis major) is by far the most famous, mostly because pectoralis major is the first and one of the biggest one can develop substantial control over.
80% of exhibited muscle control performances are pec bounces and if the other pec control performances are taken into account (pec roll and pec shake) the result is a dominating 90%, leaving so little room for the others, not only because they are harder to achieve but mostly because there is no interest in mastering them.
This site is an effort to inform of the various muscle controls the human body is capable of and restore/promote videos projecting this astonishing ability.
