Mind Muscle Connection ''mmc''
It can not be overstated how much I underestimated the importance of the 'mind muscle connection' in my early years of lifting especially. I am 29 and I have just now started to take the MMC seriously over the past year, in doing so I have been able to harden my lower pecks, and many other weak points I have struggled with since my early twenties.
I have a kind of meditation I do in between sets, visualize and contract , visualize and contract over and over in my mind. Even when I am not lifting I visualize my optimal form and work my MMC, you might say I am a little obsessed at the moment. I feel like I have wasted many years lifting incorrectly, I just did not understand when I was young, the importance of listening to the older guys.

^^^A great article, for anyone who doubts the 'MMC'.
Curious to hear everyone's method of utilizing the Mind Muscle Connection, how long have you practiced it , and how important do think the 'MMC' is.

I get strong mmc when I smoke weed and go to gym
DobermannLol same here!!!
I am hitting Hawaiian punch later lol
Not sure about this routine lol
Seriously!?! What are you, high? ;-)
yes man :)), you should try it
A strong mind muscle connection not only brings more reps into the muscle you really want to work but it helps you push through the burn when you’d otherwise fail. Essential.
DobermannU know how u get that forst lactic acid burn?i try to go for thr second one,meaning i push through the first wave and it
Kinda dissapears for a sec and then u feel that second wave hit u lol its a whole new frontier lol
Yeah when you start seeing spots and think you’re gonna pass out. That’s a good set.
DobermannYep same here,been improving every workout more and more.mmc was weak for me in the early yrs so the stronger my mmc gets the more muscle i put on.plain and simple.
