The conversation then explores whether you actually need to “feel” a muscle for it to grow, what the pump can tell us about muscle recruitment, and where the mind-muscle connection may or may not be useful.\nKey topics include:\nLeroy Colbert’s extreme 10-set-per-exercise Silver Era routine\nWhy “feeling” a muscle and getting a pump are not necessarily the same thing\nWhy stretch, cramping, and soreness can be misleading indicators of muscle activation\nMind-muscle connection, internal focus, and how they change muscle recruitment\nWhy exercise selection may be a better solution than trying to force a mind-muscle connection\nWhen mind-muscle connection and isometric contractions may actually be useful\nWhy constantly using a mind-muscle connection can interfere with progressive overload\nWhy pre-fatiguing a muscle doesn’t cause the other muscles in a compound exercise to “do more work”\nWhat motor learning research tells us about training and practising skills while fatigued\nJoin our Hypertrophy Past and Present Training group on TrainHeroic.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/CJhjWFKhcK0h4C11sAyS9S4btLA7VgbHkoTw7LPZHTk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wNDVi/MjE1YzM4ZmVlYzZj/OWEwMTA1Y2QwOGY2/ZDU0ZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
