In the past my main emphasis while training has been a mind-muscle connection, strength always came secondary to that. However for the last 3 months I have prioritized strength. I still ensure proper form while executing exercises and maintain a 3-0-2 tempo on most compound movements.
I was not 100% focused mentally however; there was a significant strength increase in every single exercise by approximately 10lbs. I am tempted to direct my strength increase to Anagen, however it is still way to soon and most likely a placebo effect.
Wednesday was my off day and since I last measured my weight on Tuesday, I have gained 2lbs while maintaining my exact same caloric intake. Like I mentioned earlier I am more accustomed to seeing a .5lb increase/week.
So far so good, tomorrow is a brutal leg training day and hopefully I wont be as distracted.
