Deliberately focusing attention on a target muscle while performing an exercise.
Why Mind-muscle connection matters
Internal focus may help some isolation work, while external performance cues may suit complex lifts better.
A practical example
Thinking about moving the upper arm during a cable fly to feel the chest working.
Common mistake
Assuming sensation proves that one exercise is uniquely effective.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
