Improving muscle activation can be achieved through increased awareness, tactical prompts, and focusing on eccentric overload.

“Whenever I'm diagnosing movement quality, I look for a handful of things, but very first one is awareness. You'd be surprised how many folks um when you just simply tell them that muscle group right there and maybe you give them a tactical prompt. So you touch it and you just tell them things like, "Hey, squeeze my finger. Squeeze my finger." As you're doing your bent row or your pull down, you can touch the lat. All this stuff can help get people uh to activate.”
