Quick tips
Mind-Muscle Connection for Growth
Bodybuilders often stress the importance of using the mind-muscle connection in training. Studies have shown this to increase activation, but does that impact growth?
Melatonin
Melatonin is a popular supplement many use for improving sleep quality. While sleep quality isn’t always affected by melatonin use, melatonin does reduce the amount of time it takes to fall asleep.
Taurine
Taurine is a common ingredient in pre-workout formulas but that might not be the best idea for individuals wanting to build muscle. Endurance athletes will get the most benefits out of taurine.

Lifters often fail heavy or fatiguing squats by falling forward. This typically means that their legs are strong enough to continue, but their back muscles are not.
Eccentric vs Concentric Training
Many trainers and coaches emphasize the eccentric portion of lifts but the reality is that, during normal lifts, this portion has no extra benefit compared to the concentric portion.
Bench Tip #3
