The mind/muscle connection cannot be overstated. If you cannot feel the muscle working, vary your grip, try a new angle, try a new exercise. Once you see the muscle working, try to squeeze it to feel it! Remember it! You will get better results and cut your workout time down.
If you can't feel it, you are doing it wrong!
Give it hell!

Beating The Blahs..... NOT EASY!
The last two days I've taken off, tonight I do chest, shoulders and triceps. I feel lazy, I feel like I have done nothing for a VERY long time! Why? I've worked out a great deal in the past two weeks!
My reasoning: Your body likes the challenge. Your body adapts to the training, craves it, wants it to continue. Your mind gets accustomed to the challenge and wants to propel your gains further. Is rest necessary? YES, it is the second most important part other than getting into the gym and eating right.
Warning signs: I feel lazy, I feel lethargic, I feel like crap!! Motivation starts to wane. This is the warning sign to get back in the gym now. Cancel the dinner with your friends and get in the gym.
DO IT! You will NOT regret making your body your creation.
Cheers!!

Great health to you and your family:

Weight Loss Pools
Hey, I just joined one! Why don't you start one! Get 10-20 people and everyone pays $20-25 to enter. You weigh in, and then every 2 weeks you weigh in again. Who every loses the most body weight percentage wins the cash! Or you could break it down for a 1st, 2nd and 3rd if you like.
Challenge your friends and win!
Challenge your friends and win!
