I was listening to Mark Bell the other day and on the podcast I was listening to he was talking about the mind muscle connection. This isn’t anything new to me, but the way that he was explaining it was completely new. I’ve never gotten a complete connection while lifting between the muscle that I’m working and literally being able to think of that muscle that I’m focusing on. I feel like this might be something that a lot of people struggle with and why you see certain individuals who are very lopsided with certain muscle groups where you can see the lack of connection while lifting specifically in peaks of biceps and the head of your triceps all of the normal areas that typically take years to bring up, which I feel the most amount of growth comes from the mind muscle connection.

I say all of this because the other day I had the best bicep workout I’ve ever had in my entire life. I was actually able to get a pump in my non-dominant left bicep and was able to create that mind muscle connection throughout the entire contraction and release. I’ve never had this kind of blood flow my muscles before specifically in a non-dominant muscle. I’ve always just lifted the lift and was focused more on the numbers then I was actually being focused on the muscles that I was supposed to be working on and I feel this is something that I’ve cut myself short on and have a lot of work and ground to cover when it comes to lifting. This is all a learning experience.

Today was leg day and I practiced the exact same mind muscle connection and had the best pump in my hamstrings quads and calves that I’ve ever had in any workout I’ve ever done for legs. This is definitely something new and something good and I feel it will be extremely beneficial to further muscle growth and actually making the work out worthwhile.

P.S. I did all of this with speech to text on my iPhone on the drive home so sorry if this is severely fucked up and doesn’t make any sense grammar wise. I did not proofread what Siri thinks I said.

296.3 even after a trip to Arizona to pick up my wife and daughter. Ended up going to a gym called Mountanside Fitness and overall it was a very nice gym with good equipment and some new equipment I’ve never used. Ended up eating sushi (nigiri) a few times, adjusted macros accordingly. Mainly sashimi so not much rice.

I know I would have come back heavier... I would have been smashing carne asada tacos and burritos the whole time. Good job with the weight brother

Bruh that’s usually my whole life story on every vacation. I’m too far invested to fuck this up. Lol literally and figuratively.

Im headed to Cancun this weekend and I have already decided I am going to eat and drink like an asshole...ill kick back into clean eating when I get back. But I will lift every day Im down there. Always do and it helps me feel better about being a glutinous pig for a few days

Careful bro. Tourists spots aren’t safe havens anymore.

I am hard to kidnap( they would probably look at me and choose someone else) and if I get poisoned while drinking a tasty drink in the pool with beautiful senoritas next to me... oh well, it has been a fun ride.
