How does your brain choose which muscle to use during an exercise?

The nervous system ‘matches’ the areas of the muscle with the best leverage to the task. But there are also individual differences, even when using the same exercises.

We don’t always recruit the same muscle or even the same muscle regions with an exercise.

This has been shown in studies. Different parts of the same muscle can grow asymmetrically depending on the exercise used.

The holy grail. Lose fat, build muscle at the same time.

Recomping is hard, but possible. The biological processes that grow muscle and burn fat compete with each other. The fastest way to lose fat is via a calorie deficit. Building muscle is fastest in a surplus. But it is possible to hit maintenance calories and do both. It's much easier under some circumstances.
