 Voluntary muscle activation varies with age and muscle group -- Jakobi and Rice 93 (2): 457 -- Journal of Applied Physiology
There was a significant interaction (* P < 0.05) for muscle activation between age and muscle group ( A) that resulted from a lower mean voluntary activation score in the old men compared with the young men in both muscle groups and from a difference between elbow flexion and extension activation in the old men.
Muscle activation in old men was more variable than in the young men.
The significant interaction (* P < 0.05) between age and test session ( B), collapsed across muscle groups, occurred as a result of a significant lower mean voluntary activation in the old men, compared with the young men, during session 1 but not session 2.

 Heart Attack
Once it is clear that a person is having a heart attack, immediate treatment usually includes drugs to help open the blocked artery, which restores blood flow to the heart muscle, and prevents clots from forming again.
Heart disease - the cause of heart attack - is the #1 killer of both men and women in the United States.
A heart attack occurs when there is a severe blockage in an artery that carries oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.

 PC Muscle
For example, exercising the pubococcygeus muscle (PC muscle) often leads to a dramatic improvement of the sexual response.
Research has shown that the pelvic floor muscles are a major factor in the sexual performance of both men and women.
Men with erectile problems and those who have difficulties with timing their orgasms may very well benefit greatly from regularly exercising this muscle.

 Ischiocavernosus muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ischiocavernosus muscle is a muscle just below the surface of the perineum, present in both men and women.
Kegel exercises (also known as pelvic floor exercises) can help tone the ischiocavernosus muscle.
It helps flex the anus, and (in males) stablize the erect penis or (in females) tense the vagina.

 Calf Implants Calf Augmentation Information About The Procedure Before After Photos
While men typically seek an appearance that emphasizes the bulk of the calf muscle, women usually desire calf implants for purposes of anatomical balance, where the lower leg is sculpted to be more proportionate to the thighs.
Many people are dissatisfied with the shape/size of their calf muscles to the point that they avoid wearing garments that expose their legs.
Calf implants (calf augmentation) are a procedure to increase the size and shape of the calf.

 Muscle Beach
The focus of attention at the original Muscle Beach, back in the 1930s, '40s and '50s, was acrobats — strong young men and women who did somersaults and handstands, built human towers and threw each other around.
The original Muscle Beach was a sunny universe, a place of cheerful optimism that had a certain sweetness to it.
Later the venue moved to another Muscle Beach in Venice, and the emphasis shifted to bodybuilding.

 Bodybuilding.com - Ron Harris - Calf Implants And Synthol: Learn The Truth!
Now, though the effect is quite obvious, as the Synthol-enhanced muscles take on shapes never found on any actual human being, you can go to any contest or large fitness expo and see several men who have injected enough oil into their bi's and tri's to satisfy their most extreme desires.
Calf implants would have to be classified as cheating in any competition, since judges are supposed to be comparing physiques composed of muscle, not implanted hunks of silicone that required no effort to attain.
Acting primarily as a muscle inflammatory agent, competitors injected it directly into the calves, arms, or shoulders for a bit of extra size and fullness in whichever of these smaller muscle groups were lagging.

 TantraMag.COM - Daily Exercises For The PC Muscle. Part 1
Furthermore, in both men and women, a healthy, strong PC muscle decreases the danger of bladder problems, because the contractions of the muscular tissue in that area increases the blood-flow ensuring the health of the genitalia and of the bladder.
In the case of a powerful contraction of the pubococcygeus muscle, the sexual energy is focused and then "propeled" along the spine towards the upper centers of force.
This muscle sustains the pelvic floor, and is stretching from the pubic bone to the top of the coccyx.

 Kegel
They can be done to tone up and strengthen the pubococcygeus muscle, the primary "sexual" muscle that supports the urethra, bladder, vagina, penis, uterus and rectum and is involved with sexual functions like orgasm and ejaculation in both men and women.
The tension of voluntary and involuntary muscles is heightened; almost spasmic contractions may be present in the face, ribs, and abdomen.
It may be hard to tighten the PC muscle and anus separately, but when you've exercised for some time, you should be able to feel the difference between these muscles.

 Myobloc : Wrinkles :: Techniques :: Brow Furrow
In men or patients with stronger musculature, two sites superior to the corrugator muscle may need to be injected.
After injecting the procerus muscle, massage the area laterally across the bridge of the nose to ensure that the toxin enters the depressor supercilli portion of the corrugator muscle.
To treat the glabellar region (Brow Furrow): inject 0.1cc (500 Myobloc units) into each corrugator muscle along with 0.1cc (500 Myobloc units) into the procerus muscle.

 Power Surge Forums > Random muscle cramping and twitching anyone?
I find that a hard massage of the calf muscles helps - my husband is quite good at this! I also recently heard about something called restless legs syndrome, which a lot of people have to varying degrees (both men and women).
The twitching is mostly in my legs but have felt them in my back and in my rear end (guess the muscles there aren't happy either lol !)There are too many of us having these for it not to be hormonal.
The muscle twitching is horrid and when you find out this stuff can go on for years it's pretty disheartening.

 Male Multiple Orgasms
The process of strengthening your PC muscle consists of a series of flexing or tightening the muscle, then trying to hold, so at the moment of orgasm the male is able to hold back the fluid and refrain from ejaculating while still having orgasm.
In most men it is a very weak muscle because they use it only when they come, and they come only infrequently and not powerfully.
Once you get use to tightening and flexing your PC muscle there are other ways this can be performed using your erection and a bath towel; you simple hang the towel over your erection and forcefully raise and lower your penis from 50 to 100 times.
