📌 3 Mind-Muscle Hacks by @Bachperformance📌 .
This mind-muscle connection is crucial for hypertrophy. So if you've laid the foundation for strength and have begun to shift your focus toward hypertrophy, you'll need to start "feeling" your way to success. Here’s how:
. Pre-Fatigue:Do you ever think your biceps are the only muscle screaming after a chin-up? This can be a classic example of a poor mind-muscle connection and poor muscle fiber recruitment. To fix it, use pre-stimulating isolation movements before compound lifts.
The goal here is to stimulate—not destroy your muscles.
Ex.)Do 3x 12 straight-arm pulldowns before you do pull-ups. The goal is to improve the mind-muscle connection and recruitment of the lats, and to a lesser extent, the teres major rather than your biceps and forearms in pull-ups. . ✅Occasionally Train to failure:By lifting lighter weights you're able to yield huge gains in muscular size. The reason? When taken to concentric failure you're pulling nearly every usable muscle fiber into action. Going lighter allows you to focus on every portion of every rep, rather than surviving the set. Keep it to isolation exercises to do-so safely. .
✅2:1 Accentuated Eccentrics: You'd use both arms (or legs) to explosively lift a load, then lower slowly with just one arm or leg.This increases muscle fiber recruitment and increases metabolic stress to build muscle. Try 3x8 leg extensions as an example, resting 60s. #mindmuscle #mindmuscleconnection #bodybuildingtraining #bodybuilding#gains #buildingmuscle #bodybuilderfollow #bodybuilderproblems #everydayisarmday #armday #armdayeveryday #musclegrowth #bachperformance (at San Diego Convention Center)
