Mind & Body for better muscles
When you workout, are you feeling the muscles being worked?
Muscles are just like women, u have to break through invisible barriers at first to know them better (or the other way around)
In order to break through those barriers developing better chemistry & size, is better to go slow & steady at first. Going fast furious with ego in the beginning will risk yourself getting unwanted injuries (turn off women!)
Once you get into relationship (with your muscles), after awhile you might also want to add different variety trying different ways to maintain/increase stimulation breaking adaptation.
Tips: Mind-muscles coordination, forms & techniques are more important than the number of weight.
Swinging a 20KG Dumbbell on bicep exercise is different than strictly curling a 20KG dumbbell with pure biceps work.
Doing 8-12 reps is an ideal rep range for muscle building and maintaining.
Increase the load if you easily reach 12 reps without any struggles. Deload the weight if you can't maintain a good form by 6-7 reps!
You may want to add or change the exercise after every 1-3 months, depending whether it's still effective or not but never neglect the basic compound exercises!
To build a nice & big muscle, it's not about how heavy you can lift but how hard you can stimulate the targeted muscle. JY
