Most people think networking is about getting something.
That's WRONG!
We break down what actually drives long-term success, and it has nothing to do with quick wins or trying to extract value from people. It’s about alignment.

Raising the Bar is not about grinding harder. It is about alignment. Thoughts, feelings and actions moving in the same direction. It is about doing hard things on purpose and letting the process build you into someone you are proud of.

💪In the strength training world, there is a great dichotomy. You have the pink dumbbell crowd that is obsessed with the mind-muscle connection and focuses on it and the exclusion of all else; sure, they can make your chest scream with 10 pound dumbbells for a nice parking lot effect, but try this week in and week out for years—the buck will stop. Then, of course, the functional crowd that says as long as an exercise has good technique, the mind-muscle connection is irrelevant.
💰But to lend credence to pink neoprene nation, and to disavow the claims of heavily acronymized pseudo physical therapists, the mind-muscle connection is real.
🧨A famous 2012 study is often cited to prove this. This study showed that when trained subjects were given verbal cues to focus on chest activation, their chest activation improved by 22 percent contrasted to when no verbal cues were given. This is HUGE! Just think over the course of months and years.
✅Debate settled. ✅
Not so fast! But an important BUT was left out! This was with 50 percent of the subject’s 1RM, when the weight increased to 80 percent, verbal instructions showed no further increase in pec activation.
Like most things, the truth is in the middle of the extremes.
We recommend when performing heavy pressing exercises and compound movements focusing on great technique with the movement, the weight will be so heavy the muscle will get the work. For example, when doing heavy weighted dips, by leaning forward and getting the proper range of motion with great technique, maximal activation will be achieved.
For isolation exercises, focus on the muscle; you are not lifting weights from point A to point B, you are intentionally contracting muscles with added resistance. This mind-muscle connection can further be developed with watching mental movies of yourself, always make sure to initiate the movement you are performing with targeted muscle, accentuating negatives and isometric poses.

The weight loss industry makes more money by keeping you fat than by helping you lose weight. That's why there is so much smoke and mirrors within the information.
Not anymore!

The @arnoldclassic weekend comes to close for me.
Love seeing old friends, making new ones and being a part of a weekend with so much positive vibes around it.

I think a lot of the battles we fight within ourselves come from the resistance we try to force on the world.
Acceptance is not a failure to act, it’s a precursor to action.
