Summary
The mind-muscle connection is crucial for generating hypertrophy and strength gains in muscles. It involves contracting a muscle to the point where it feels like it's cramping, even without any added weight or resistance. Additionally, while most people are familiar with the key variables of resistance training (sets, reps, rest, etc.), there are similarly important variables for endurance and cardiovascular training.
