How does adrenaline work???

[NJjuice22]

how come when your in a situation where you need to react quick to help someone/yourself do you get that burst of strength that you normally would not have?


I was in the gym a few weeks and this jacked black dude is inclining 405, he then drops it down to 315 and does a burnout set with no spotter (dumbass). the weight just stops on his like 8th rep, its stuck on his neck/clavicle area..i swear i jumped up and lifted that weight off his neck like it was 50lbs , i was pretty impressed that i was able to just lift it off him like nothing while standing on the back of the bench in such an awkward position

basically when a situation is serious enough to trigger your brain to release a hormone resulting in an andrenaline rush.

wish i could be on an adrenaline rush all day.

i get it when i play poker and go all in with nothing.

i know, but how does it make you physcially stronger

Adrenaline effects the central nervous system and allows the muscles to react.......no thought process, just reaction.

That's what it is.

It stimulates central nervous system.
So more nerve-muscle units are recruited causing much stronger muscle contraction.
It also increases circulation to brain and muscles by diverting circulation from skin, intestines, liver and kidneys.

your muscles are made up of millions of strands of muscle fibres. your body, under normal conditions, splits all those millions of fibres up into groups that will all contract together, which we call motor units. when you flex a muscle, only a few of those motor units are actually contracting, and they only contract for a split second, then relax - but because thousands of motor units are contracting one after the other, and overlapping, your muscle as a whole contracts, and smoothly closes/opens your joints.

when adrenaline is released, it stimulates a bunch of receptors on the heart, the lungs, the muscles etc etc and makes your body assign many more muscle fibres to each motor unit - meaning that each motor unit is more powerful, but because there are fewer motor units overall, as they all contract at different times, the movement is far less smooth, and is rather jerky - which is why many people shake when you scare them, or inject them with adrenaline.

adrenaline = more muscle fibres firing overall
