Why can I lift almost double the weight with somewhat good form but not the best mind-muscle connection in episode 268: The Top Fitness and Training Myths That Are Killing Your Gains | Ben Bruno, and in the clip Weight Training Insights from the episode Dr. Andy Galpin: How to Build Strength, Muscle Size & Endurance | Huberman Lab Podcast #65? Sometimes I 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?
