The Golgi Tendon Organ (GTO) is your body’s built-in protective sensor

Its primary job? Prevent injury by shutting down muscle contraction when tension gets too high.

But sometimes, the GTO activates too early, limiting your strength potential.

How to override it:
• Use controlled eccentric training (slow lowering phases)
• Incorporate isometric holds (5-10 sec) under moderate to heavy loads
• Gradually increase loads to adapt safely and effectively

By strategically conditioning your GTO, you’ll unlock greater strength and performance in combat sports.
