Sorry to make another thread so soon guys, but I am simply ecstatic!
I, as a newbie to lifting and wanting to get massive, have come across something that many of the advanced lifters and seasoned pros don't even realize that they do anymore. I discovered that even if an immeasurable amount of weight were to be lifted that it doesn't really do nearly as much work for my body as it could if I were to flex it and focus on it as I lift it. I guess until recently I had just been going through the motions with little to show after workouts, but now I'm actually experiencing pumps by contracting my muscles as I lift!
Sorry for the rambling in this thread, I just feel so excited that even though I have to lower the weight for proper technique that I will be getting a better workout by focusing on the muscle more!
