Mind muscle connection
Posted: Wed Sep 15, 2010 9:51 pm
I was originally going to post this on nolinksplease.com but then i kinda answered it so thought i would post it in here for comment/help.
basically i have always had a putrid mind-muscle connection with my left arm, up untill a week ago i couldn't really tense my left bicep or tricep, when i did try to, all that would happen is i would tense my shoulder (delt + blade/lat).
i used to hate it because when i done bicep exercises i would see myself inadvertently leaning it to allow my shoulder to execute the movement.
in order to remedy this i have just started some low weight VERY focused isolation movement, slow movement, supported, while watching the muscle.
since i have started this its improving massively! i done pretty much a focused preacher curl, i will keep doing this untill its perfect, i also plan on doing low weight tricep kickbacks in front of the mirror to help more on the tricep side of things, along with some focused flexing.
anyone have any additional input on this? any questions feel free to ask!
