Mind-Muscle Connection

This is the ability to focus on and control the muscle you're training during an exercise. For example, in a lat pulldown, it means actively squeezing your lats instead of letting your arms do the work. A strong mind-muscle connection helps with:

  • Better form
  • Improved muscle activation
  • Greater hypertrophy over time

It’s especially important in isolation movements and advanced bodybuilding.
