And that shouldn't really change, right?
Because the function is still largely the same.
There's still elbow flexion, there's still supination.
Like, why am I not able to do it there?
And that's where it sort of clued into me that like,
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?
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.
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.
If you don't feel the discomfort, then you're doing something wrong.
And I struggle to this day on certain muscle groups to still do that, even knowing what I'm trying to work.
It's very difficult for some muscles and for certain people to do this on certain muscles.
But as you mentioned, practice does help.
And the more you become,
consistent and deliberate with what you're trying to do, the more of a result you actually get.
Different muscles recover at different rates.
