And that shouldn't really change, right?

Huberman Lab

Because the function is still largely the same.

Essentials: Optimize Your Exercise Program with Science-Based Tools | Jeff Cavaliere

There's still elbow flexion, there's still supination.

Like, why am I not able to do it there?

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Optimize Your Exercise Program with Science-Based Tools | Jeff Cavaliere

And that's where it sort of clued into me that like,

Huberman Lab

your mind-muscle connection on not just your mind with one muscle, but on every exercise matters, and it varies from exercise to exercise.

There's a term I like to call muscularity, which is a difference, right?

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Optimize Your Exercise Program with Science-Based Tools | Jeff Cavaliere

It's the level of sort of resting tone in the muscle.

That improves dramatically.

If you can learn how to just start to

engage that muscle better, the muscularity, the resting tone of that muscle is harder, it's more alive.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Optimize Your Exercise Program with Science-Based Tools | Jeff Cavaliere

That's all driven from being able to connect better neurologically with the muscle that you're trying to train.

When you're trying to go and create muscle hypertrophy, or even this muscular that I talk about, you need to seek ways to make it feel more uncomfortable.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Optimize Your Exercise Program with Science-Based Tools | Jeff Cavaliere

If you don't feel the discomfort, then you're doing something wrong.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Optimize Your Exercise Program with Science-Based Tools | Jeff Cavaliere

And I struggle to this day on certain muscle groups to still do that, even knowing what I'm trying to work.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Optimize Your Exercise Program with Science-Based Tools | Jeff Cavaliere

It's very difficult for some muscles and for certain people to do this on certain muscles.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Optimize Your Exercise Program with Science-Based Tools | Jeff Cavaliere

But as you mentioned, practice does help.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Optimize Your Exercise Program with Science-Based Tools | Jeff Cavaliere

And the more you become,

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Optimize Your Exercise Program with Science-Based Tools | Jeff Cavaliere

consistent and deliberate with what you're trying to do, the more of a result you actually get.

Different muscles recover at different rates.
