Why can I lift almost double the weight with somewhat good form, but not the best mind-muscle connection? I sometimes don’t feel the muscle I'm trying to activate actually activate, and it feels like I’m just going through the motions. However, when I reduce the weight to about half, I get a better mind-muscle connection, can feel the stretch more, and it feels better overall. Am I getting the most out of my workouts if I lift heavier or if I focus on lighter weights, form, and mind-muscle connection, then progressively overload with more reps, sets, or weight?
Why do trainers seem to solely focus on making their clients "feel it" instead of focusing on making the clients perform the correct movements at a weight they can control with good form?
Is it better to lift heavy or to lift to feel the muscles working?
