do you get inside the muscles, /fit/?
get inside the muscle means do steroids
I hate to agree with shabbosnegger in 2026 but he's right.I remember being taught to put my mind in my core when I was kickboxing to better centre my balance and it made a massive difference. It's like my mind was a weight.when you're lifting, and especially in calisthenics, putting your mind inside the muscle/s that you're working seems to supernaturally direct blood to them and make them function way better than trying to absently perform the motion.
Get a needle inside those muscles.
>>77391197mind-body connection is real. there was even a study that showed people who visualized their 'cep flexing while curling got bigger 'ceps than those who didn't.and i'll take it a step further to say that fitness influencers who say shit like "just because you don't feel the muscle getting worked doesn't mean it isn't getting worked" are retarded. sure, it might be getting some work, of course. but if you aren't FEELING that muscle contract at the end of your working sets, and it isn't a struggle to get it to contract fully, it's not meaningfully building muscle. the OG bodybuilders were right, chasing pump is a mostly good thing.
>>77391197It's presented in a bro way but it's kind of true. Ancient Chinese calisthenics was focused on muscular/joint control as well, where they would progress from slow reps and only accelerating (increasing force) when they've eliminated all the "wasteful" movements. This practice is foundational to pretty much every sport.You can't practice perfect reps, you do reps to ACHIEVE perfect reps. It's the Bruce Lee quote about practicing a kick 1000 times. If you're training so fucking lazily that you can browse your phone while doing reps in the other hand, you are not training at an intensity that is conducive for growth. You're wasting your time.
