questions about workout style while on gear

[wango]

One thing I don’t think was touched upon is that with the lower resistance it’s not purely about just high reps. You can focus better on the movement and the contraction itself and that has a big impact for some.

It really takes time to try different approaches and which ones work better for you.

Well got into it with the trainer. Lol. Been brewing. I know the gym is a time to focus, but he's a jerk. Doesn't like ppl talking at all.

Tonight I walked in, went straight to the bathroom to change clothes. Walked out and set my bag down and was putting on my gloves. He comes over and says you ready? I'm like yeah putting my gloves on. He's impatient and says something about let's go let's go. I'm like dude let me out my gloves on. So I walk over to the machine for hamstring curls and he asks if I'm there to work out or not, and if not I could leave. Lol

I said man I'm paying YOU! He said something again and said you can leave if you want to. So I said sure. No skin off my teeth and walked out.

Before I got on my bike he came out and apologized and asked me to come back in.

And this! Completely agree that it helps with the mind muscle connection. It wasn’t until I started lifting lower weight to true failure that I really started to feel and be able to isolate parts of my back and my rear delts that I just wasn’t able to before.
