When it comes to resistance training, you may have heard people refer to the “mind-muscle connection,” but what does it actually mean? For years, I thought it simply referred to paying attention to, and being mentally aware of, the target muscle you are working. It was a way to filter out the environmental noise and distractions of the gym or home that can compromise the quality of your workout.

Why is it important?
The mind-muscle connection is important because between the conscious and deliberate muscle contraction it gives the ability to focus on the tension you create during exercise on a specific muscle or region of muscles in the body--helping you create stronger muscles, and enhance your workouts.

What you will learn in this episode:
Internal and external focused attention.
Choosing the right cue to use.
What is the Internal and external focused attention?
When to turn off the distractions.
And lastly, how to put it all together to get the best results.
