In this video, I talk about the three most important weight training factors that you need to keep in mind every time you go to hit the gym.
First off, we have the "mind/muscle" connection. This is something I have talked about in previous videos and is the first thing I mention for a reason... because it works!
What I'm talking about is simply putting all of your focus into the muscle that you are trying to target. If that means you need to drop your weight because you're no longer cheating and using other muscles to get the weight up, then drop the weights! No egos allowed. Best tip is to act like you are flexing the targeted muscle throughout the entire set.
Next, you must be utilizing full range of motion (full ROM) and this just means that you need to make sure you are completely lengthening the muscle that is being worked, giving it that stretch, then shortening the muscle ALL THE WAY to the peak contraction, squeezing at the top of the rep, and returning all the way back to where the muscle is fully lengthened.
Last but not least, we have no cheated rests. And sometimes this is purposeful, but sometimes this is accidental. You just simply need to make sure you're not losing tension when your muscle is completely lengthened and that you're also not losing tension by moving under the weight at the top of the exercise. Keeping your sets as one consistent period of time under tension is going to dramatically increase the results you see in the mirror.
