Get to know your GTO! How This Little Muscle Receptor Can Make You a Fast-Twitch Phenom

In this blog post, we delve into the role of the Golgi Tendon Organ (GTO) in building fast-twitch muscle fibers. By training our GTO to allow us to exert more force, we can recruit more muscle fibers, particularly fast-twitch fibers, leading to more explosive power in our movements. However, it's important to find the right balance and not overdo it, as training our GTO too frequently or too intensely can lead to decreased muscle activation and reduced gains. Read on to learn more about how your GTO can help you become a faster, stronger, and more explosive athlete
