Did you know that using/improving mind-muscle connection has been proven to increase muscle hypertrophy? 🤔. . Simply put, mind-muscle connection is when you focus on the muscle being worked; actively giving it attention and flexing the muscle during each repetition. It helps you to recruit more motor units and utilize more muscle fibers. . When you do this successfully, you will notice that lower weight becomes more challenging, but will end up adding more muscle. For example, you may be able to normally curl 40 lbs, but when you are focusing on mind muscle connention, 25lbs curls will feel just as challenging (if not more so), and will get you better results. . Some muscles will be harder for you to "connect" with than others. For example, many people find it difficult to really connect with their lats. To help with this, try to do some pre-activation sets like these 👆🏻. Pick a movement that will allow you to really feel the muscle. Keep the weight relatively light (I only used about 40lbs) and focus on the tension and squeeze of each rep. This particular movement will allow you to really feel ALL of your lat by adding in the side crunch at the end. After 2 or 3 sets per side, move onto your rows and/or pull downs and you should be able to better feel and focus on your lats. .
