An average age of 19.54yrs with a mean weight lifting experience of 5.08yrs +/- 1.5yrs.... Who the hell are these guys? Some of them must have started weight lifting when they were 13? lol I guess it could happen?

And 5 years of lifting experience and they can bench press just over 1x their bw?

Their stats seems strange to me but that is really neither here nor there.

My question is... is there any correlation between electrical impulse strength and "how hard a muscle is being hit"? I honestly don't know but maybe someone here does?

NM, if I had kept reading I would have found:

"Integrated EMG activity is linearly related to force output and oxygen consumption."

So basically it's measuring tension in the muscles. Neat.
