Is the MIND/MUSCLE connection just new age hippie BS?

I always have a laugh at fools in the gym swinging heavy weights, only thing they are training are their tendons....

Usually they are destroying their tendons.

This is how you connect the mind and the muscle.

This is how you connect the mind and the muscle.

No, that's how you lose your mind, and get temporary muscles. Lose the drugs and you're shrink city. Not to mention shortened life span.

The Mind~Muscle Connection by Brad Schoenfeld, PhD, CSCS, CSPS, NSCA-CPT

The muscle pump isn't just cosmetic. It contributes to muscle growth.
Use multiple sets of moderate to high reps to engorge your muscles with blood.

Develop a strong mind-muscle connection to recruit more muscle fibers.

Visualize the muscles you're training, and between sets envision yourself doing your next lift. Use your mind to build your body.

Posing isn't just for those on stage. It can help you maximally contract muscles and produce more force during lifts.

Pick a power move and go heavy with lower reps on occasion. Building size doesn't mean neglecting strength. Arnold powerlifted.

I think he has only done an analysis of research up to this point. Right now he is actually working on his own study so not completed yet according to his facebook.

srs question bro - do you even lift?

So if you lift yourself, why do you have to ask stupid questions like that? Is the Mind/muscle connection bullshit? No, it isn't, but you need some kind of brains to utilize it. Is reps beyond the pain barrier most efficient? Yes, if you know what it mean. Is pyramid system usefull? Yes, if you know what you do...see the pattern there? 1. You have to have a brains 2. you have to understand what you are doing and why. It is obvious that most of the getbig lack some of those premises, so let's simplify this to your level: yes, it is all bullshit. Don't believe anything what you read from the old school builders, it is all crap. Happy now?
