I'm a medical student and you just taught me something textbooks couldn't. Thanks bro.

[humanbeing]

You explained it 100 times better than my physiology professor.

[nazaninb]

It's almost like teachers and textbooks explain things in the most complex way possible. Youtube is the way to go for me! Thanks for the video

[CourtneyBishopPOA]

I kept re-reading this section in "The Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning" textbook today, but I couldn't get it straight in my head. This was SO much more clear. THANK YOU!

Thank you for this! I've hated muscle spindles and GTOs since school. I love the explanation!

[knoz]

Hey hey, I have biology exam 2 hours later, I was studying a lot last week but this is the best video explanation related with biology. Perfect demonstration and teaching. Many thanks!

[mikeb]

Just terrific. Brief explanations of this stuff are hard to find. And you did it really clearly. Thank you.

[CoVi]

I was searching this kind of info in spanish to be honest and I randomly got here... Now I got no doubts at all. Thanx man!

[nusratjesi]

That is so helpful to get an overview in brief considering the amount of time I have to invest. Thank you.

[AlexRodriguez-benh]

Your use of the markers as muscles and the other markers and spindles is so genius. It’s so simple, but so great because it’s easy to build off of. If I could go back to the high school version of me, I would make him say thank you to you. Thank you so much for this video.

[malikanima]
