These 3 things are so often overlooked!!

Pretty sure TUT has been mostly left in the dust by contemporary exercise science (Schoenfeld et al). Slowing down sets inhibits total force production, meaning lighter weights may be needed for a given rep range. Form and training effort (as proximity to failure) appear to have greater effect

Is that for strength or hyper trophy? Exercise scientists generally still say that TUT matters for hypertrophy

[@Livfiit]

@@ashdddit does matter! A quick google search will tell you this💕

TUT 100% positively impacts hypertrophy because it directly impacts mechanical tension and metabolic stress, which are two huge driving factors for muscle growth. I get what you’re saying that too much TUT could require a drop in weight and not have a sufficient load, but it’s a balanced. It’s choosing a challenging weight in the intended rep range while also making those reps slow and controlled. TUT is most definitely relevant!

The explanation for mind-muscle connection is super outdated. Thats like saying if you dont think about your bicep during a curl it wont be as effective. Muscles will work and activate whether you think about using them or not. That’s just what they do. Better things to focus on: Slow down the eccentric phase for better muscle engagement & Progressive overload

[@Livfiit]

This is a quick google search to back up what I’m saying! I don’t agree with you at all. So if you think about anything other than your workout while you’re training, do you have a good workout?? Mind to muscle connection plays a significant role in hypertrophy because it increases muscle activation, leads to better form cause you’re focused, and maximizes tension on the targeted muscle rather than having secondary muscles take over the move. If you don’t agree, keep training your way and I’ll try mine chief 🫡

@ ok 👍🏾

And stop stop scrolling through your phone in between sets!!! 😂
