Hey Scott


Thanks very much for the advice. Finally hit the gym today after being sick for the last week and a half.


Felt great to be back in the gym. Took your advice lowered the weights a little bit and focused on controlling the negative portion of the reps also on machine movements kept fighting against the weight on the last failure rep for a good 5-8 seconds until the weight slowly and gradually forced me to lower it under control - good stuff.


I had a quick question regarding "feeling" a muscle during a movement.

A muscle has a point of origin and a point of insertion. It therefore has a very specific function of moving about a joint. Therefore; even if we don't "feel" a muscle during a movement isn't it impossible for us to do a certain movement without involving certain muscle groups i.e. During barbell rows even if you don't "feel" the lats it's impossible to row the weight without the lays pulling your arms back?

From a scientific point isn't there an inevitable mind muscle connection ie nervous system signaling the muscles to move the weight?


Appreciate your thoughts and inputs


Best
