 First question is from Mitch B Smith. What are some ways to improve mind muscle connection? You know that the mind muscle connection is something that bodybuilders talk about all the time, right? It's being able to feel a muscle a target muscle through the you know range of motion a particular exercise they've actually done studies to show that people can improve the Or increase the amount of muscle fibers that fire in muscles that they start to improve this connection to so this is a good thing To focus on this is where the value the big value in isolation exercises comes from in my opinion Isometrics mean isometrics and isolation say isometrics are incredible Excellent so like compound lifts you so many different muscles that if you have a hard time like for example feeling your chest in a bench press One of the best things you could do in my opinion is either an isometric squeeze of the chest or like a cable fly or something That isolates the chest so you can feel it and then do your compound lift So I think isometrics or isolation Slowing the exercise down going lighter. Those will be my three a single joint going slow and really like Paying attention to the feel the first time I read this question. I remember like was it the rockers? It's like focus like yells it out the gym But I think that people don't realize that's a major factor like we just kind of get in the rhythm And we get in the momentum of moving and exercising and we don't really pay attention Totally, you know to what's at hand and also to if if there is like a lagging body part or there's a lack of connectivity You can increase that by simply, you know really hyper-focusing on the squeeze and you know getting You know that recruitment process like more honed in on the only thing I would add to what you guys started is practice I mean when you think about an athlete who gets really good at throwing a ball He gets really that's that's improving your mind muscle connection the ability to throw a perfect spiral Super hard like Tom Brady does with the accuracy a lot of that mind muscle is improved mind muscle connection over years and years of throwing the ball and lots of repetition so Isometric isolation exercises and then just flat out Practicing that movement with the understanding of what your desired outcome is so my desired outcome is I want to squat I want to fill it in my glutes So doing those things that we're talking about isolation isometric exercises to get the glutes to fire but then also just Practicing that movement knowing I'm trying to fire the I'm glad you said that at the end because throwing a Practicing to throw a football better would be more like mind to movement connection, right? Versus mind to muscle which mind to muscle isn't doesn't necessarily mean better movement like what I mean by that is a power lifter is constantly focusing on how to improve the Efficiency and the leverage of a squat. They really don't care if they feel in the quads glutes hams It's like how can I squat more weight? How can I improve the skill of my squat so I can lift more versus someone who's like man? I want to really build my butt. I can't feel my butt It's not so much about me using more leverage or it's really about feeling the target muscle Which is a different muscle tension but practice like you said Adam practicing the connection often, right? So like if you have a poor connection to a muscle every time you train this muscle with all the Exercises that should be the focus. Can I feel it? Can I feel it? Can I feel it not how much weight you lifted or you know? How you know how great your performance was rather how much better can I get this muscle and even when you're not exercising, right? So that's what's great about things like trigger sessions if you are practicing just Activating that muscle even with no resistance. Well is only gonna make you better with that mind muscle connection Hey, if you enjoyed that clip you can find the full episode here Or you can find other clips over here and be sure to subscribe
