Even though you execute the same repetitions at the same exact intensity, initial indications are the mind body connection are going to result in more growth than not.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
And this is doing things like imagine a bicep curl, and you're simply looking at and watching your biceps, and you're thinking about contracting it harder. Even though you execute the same repetitions at the same exact intensity, initial indications are the mind body connection are going to result in more growth than not.
That it's really this mind muscle connection is a real thing when it comes to predicting results and that you can get better at it.
So during all resistance training, that mind muscle link is really important, so much so that some people will even try and emphasize contraction of the muscles in between sets, et cetera.
Moving the weight is going to be more geared towards strength improvements, but focusing on the muscle, so called mind muscle link is going to shift that very same set more toward hypertrophy.
Similar concept actually works for hypertrophy in terms of there is a handful of very recent studies that have looked at what we'll call the mind muscle connection.
