It’s partly bullshit. Basically the real takeaway from it is that if there’s a stretch-loaded movement like RDL you should go down until your hamstrings stretch, then squeeze your glutes to go up. Just gets the most muscles possible recruited if you get some ROM. If you make it your only goal then you’ll be moving tiny weights and be forever weak and small. If anything you need to vary your sets/reps, maybe hit some top sets and backoffs to get a different stimulus. Oh, and as always: eat until you’re uncomfortable

I see mind-muscle connection as my ability to feel what(in the exercise) hits my muscles the hardest so I can keep doing that.
Idk, is there something more to it?

Think Olympic lifting coordination or mastering deadlift technique to where you dont need to micro adjust and can lift big weights on command with perfect technique
It's just a buzzword to not throw off uncoordinated autists

>>77224591
Well, I think it's basically that, but since I don't feel what hits my muscles the hardest in exercises I do, I guess my MMC is not developed. My question is: is it important? Am I missing gains?

yes, it is a thing.
you know like when you squat and lift? how can you feel you are actually using your legs and glutes to lift if you're not feeling the muscle? a lot of folks rely on their back and do some half assed good morning to lift it instead. this means you're not just losing gains in your legs, but injuring your back.

id say its important af, because it helps you both nail down the muscle worked, understand how your muscles move and react, and there are some studies showing that good form and "mind muscle" help you grow even like 2x in the same time.

on another note, training MMC you're also training your CNS to fire more muscle fibers, which leads to a better muscle activation, leading to more results for same workload.

It's definitely a real thing

Id say you're probably using weight that's realistically too heavy for you to handle if you're actually not feeling anything. Drop the weight and focus on squeezing the muscles during the lift, no swinging, bouncing or momentum or anything

You can practice it now, do a curling motion with an empty hand and flex your bicep as you bring up your hand, it's just like that. Or try doing a pec dec motion and focus on the chest - imagine you've got a coin in between your tiddies and you're trying to squeeze it. You need to be doing that type thing as you're lifting weights

>>77224565
There's no such thing.

Let me guess, you fell for the meme and you bought an overpriced course on how to connect your mind and muscles lmaoo

Anyone itt who doesnt believe in mind muscke connection, feel free to post body. You wont althoughbeit. But i believe this is a troll thread
Nothing ever of worth here.

You're probably a dyel because outstanding muscle building genetics are around 4% of the population. Passable is around 18%. Roll better, do drugs or just cope

>>77225442
>Passable is around 18%
I don't believe that. I believe only around 10% legitimately have bad genetics

most people don't even train right. they have no concept of what progressive overload is, always lift the same weight for the same number of reps and sets (which they're obviously not even struggling with), run some stupid meme split which makes zero sense and on top of all that they eat and sleep like dogshit and drink a ton of booze every single weekend. You can't just blame genetics when you're doing literally everything wrong. ive seen people doing all this bs and they're still benching sub 1pl8 and curling 20lbs dumbbells after showing up at the gym for 2 fucking years. I legitimately think 70% of gym goers are just there for social clout and to post bs on instagram or tiktok

I believe that 90% of adult men could at least get 1/2/3/4 for reps at 15% bf if they actually did things right. genetics is just cope, genetics only really matters when you're at the top level and actually competing and shit

ofc we believe there is a connection between your brain and your muscles, its called the spinal cord lol, what were talking about here is a meme to scam people who are gullible into buying stuff, make them believe there's something MORE and buy my shit to know about it

Wow, OP here, when I left the thread there were only 4 replies, now there are 16, I thought it would fade into oblivion.

Anyway, in my specific case: I started lifting 3 and a half years ago with zero athletic background, I've made good progress in strength and I'd say I've made "a little" progress in shape but really not much.

I'd say what strikes me about my case, and what sets me apart from others, is that when you listen to people talk in the gym and on social media, it sounds like sensation is the nerve center of their practice and that everything revolves around it. Or at least, the sensation is so strong on the exercises they do that they can't help but express it, verbalize it. I would never have guessed that if I hadn't heard it, for me sensation is really secondary and I can go through an entire session without feeling much of anything. I feel a bit of a pump quickly, but when I'm doing an exercise I don't feel any burn DURING the exercise, even when I use light weights and do 10,000 reps.

I've already tried drop sets, I've already tried breaking down the movement into all its phases, I've done sets of 100, I've tried everything and DURING the exercise I never feel anything. Afterwards, yes, some pump (and even then, not all the time). But that famous BURN, no.

Just for the record: I go to failure (or as close to failure as possible if I feel like there's no way I'd get the next rep), I count my calories and protein every day to make sure I'm in a surplus, I apply progressive overload and I've never injured myself since I started. I've had 2-3 pains in 3 and a half years that went away pretty quickly and were due to beginner mistakes on my part. That's why I find it strange when people tell me I must be doing something wrong : shouldn't that be said about those who injure themselves every other day?

You might have a medical problem, i suggest you to see a physician as quickly as possible to check if everything is alright.

That's a pretty good explanation of it. It's all about "activating" your muscles and thinking about the movement, as opposed to just swinging or jerking the weight like a gorilla

>and flex your bicep as you bring up your hand
you dont flex your biceps as you bring your hand up, its not voluntary dumbfuck, go study anatomy before saying some dumbshit like this
