During Weight Training?

[role model]

Is There such a thing as mind muscle connection when training body parts?
Or is it a bunch of BS?

No question mind muscle connection is real and helps when training certain muscles.

Total crap.

Total crap.

OK everyone gets a vote, but the problem is,
Where TF is everyone that works out???
If you work out you can answer this question.
If this was a porn question you'd have 40 responses by now.
Maybe the meso board isn't all its cracked up to be anymore.

I say yes, but only in the sense of concentrating to get perfect technique and stress on the particular muscle being exercised.
Especially for a muscle such as Biceps,or and exercise such as leg extensions.
I don't believe that some people have some type of psycho connection with their muscles.

I agree, and compound movements like deads, bench are much harder because of the much heavier weight.
You have to work your way up with the weight, cuz you'll never get it starting out heavy! Bar rows work very well until you go extremely heavy. Traps, delts they all work for me. For some reason I have trouble with my chest.

You have to be aware of the muscles you're training in order to do movements properly. You need to be conscious of form to do it properly.
I think Tom Platz and Arnold said it best, "the daily feelings", with grips and movements. Creating a "certain excitement" by thinking of the muscles and movements and the feedback is the muscle will respond better.

Concentration and focus. Put your mind into it!!

Honestly, it could be psychosematic, but who cares, right? As long as it gets you to concentrate more on the object muscle, you'll get better results. This is why I use a pre-workout NO2 supp (like VASO XP, or whichever you choose)......I don't believe in their "direct muscle building properties", but they do indeed help me feel the target muscle w/the pump I get.

Just my .02.

I see Bob Smith is wrong again. There is know doubt there is a MM connection.

I totally believe in it. Once I learned to target the muscle using my mind as the link, my gains went up in leaps and bounds. I agree with the above statements though, it's much more difficult when the weight gets heavier. I don't have a problem with the MM link during heavy Bench press, but squats and other compound movements are difficult, I just try to concentrate on my form. I like to use the mirror as guide too, I like to see the muscle working.

Weight Training

It is a fact that human body is a combination of mind and muscle because every muscle is controlled by the mind.
