Training for Muscle Growth
Low rep training emphasizes movement efficiency and leverage, while higher rep bodybuilding focuses on the mind-muscle connection. For those with a strong athletic background, like playing college football, it's often more beneficial to enhance the feel of the weight rather than simply increasing the load. Slowing down and truly engaging with each rep can lead to better results and reduced injury risk.In this clip

Why can I lift almost double the weight with somewhat good form but not the best mind-muscle connection in episode 268: The Top Fitness and Training Myths That Are Killing Your Gains | Ben Bruno, and in the clip Weight Training Insights from the episode Dr. Andy Galpin: How to Build Strength, Muscle Size & Endurance | Huberman Lab Podcast #65? Sometimes I don’t feel the muscle I'm trying to activate actually activate, and it feels like I’m just going through the motions. However, when I reduce the weight to about half, I get a better mind-muscle connection, can feel the stretch more, and it feels better overall. Am I getting the most out of my workouts if I lift heavier or if I focus on lighter weights, form, and mind-muscle connection, then progressively overload with more reps, sets, or weight?
