Possible way to never fail on mind muscle connection?

Take grip entirely out of the movement? Going over it in my head if u used ur wrists to move wait like a band tied around I think you’d much easier target muscles

This helps but isn’t surefire. The only true method is getting good at an exercise with safe form that fits your mechanics. Bench press for instance: I press more narrow and with more tucked elbows than most people because otherwise my delts take over.

Joe Bennett (@hypertrophycoach on Instagram) makes great wrist straps for that exact purpose though.

thats what advanced lifters do for side laterals for example.
I have some wrist cuffs i use for side and rear delts. (at the cable) also for cable pullovers and triceps pushdowns i take a rope with a hole for each hand and dont grip the rope but instead put my hands inside and move the weight with the palms of my hand (i hope you understand what i mean)

Oh shit looks like I was kinda on point with that idea then. I purposely leave elbows flared I get it’s dangerous but it’s more comfortable, and I try to hit the stretch. I read muscles take more load on the eccentric side I focus the stretch for growth I don’t get a huge pump otherwise.

Fuck why don’t I use this method for legs. Okay I’ll try stretch today

Yes my way of doing this at the time is just a super loose grip with maybe like tight pinky and ring finger kinda use hands as hooks
