Isolation Exercises for Lagging Body Parts
- Start your workout with isolation exercises to improve lagging body parts.
- This helps connect with the muscle before compound lifts, improving feedback and form.
Connecting with the Muscle
- When training for muscle connection, avoid high intensity and heavy weights.
- Prioritize lighter weights, slower movements, and higher reps to feel the muscle engage.
Sets, Reps, and Isometric Holds
- Use 2-3 sets of 10 reps with a 2-3 second isometric hold to connect with the muscle.
- This technique enhances muscle activation before compound exercises.
