>ITT we talk about mind-muscle and proper contraction a.k.a. the reason you didn't progress for looong time

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetanic_contraction

-Tell me anon do you squeeze it?
-Do you keep tension?
-Are you just moving weight from point A to B?
-Are you using a lot of synergistic muscles during a movement and can't target muscle you want to grow?
-When arm is by your side, can you contract shoulder without moving any other muscle
-When back is resting can you contract only rhomboid muscles without using any other muscles?

The ask yourself :

>do i even lift?

When you lift , try to bring elbows to each other, as if forearms don't exist.
Also slightly push bar inwards as you are trying to crush the barbell.

What terrible meme worthy advice. Just make sure you are bracing your core, squeezing your glutes and your forearms are vertical, also press in a straight line as best you can, you'll most likely tuck your chin on the way up to achieve this.

>mind muscle connection

If your form is good then your muscles will be stimulated properly.

Not if you want to isolate shoulders more.
Dumbells are better option.
>>
>>41789462
If you want to isolate your shoulders more, then fucking do Isolation exercises
>>
>>41789507

then contract shoulder while arm is resting without moving other muscles
>>
>>41789611
What does that have to do with Isolation exercises?
No matter how good your mind muscle connection is, you will always have other muscle groups kick in if its a compound exercise
