Description
Coach Andy and Coach Dan discuss the proper use of accessory lifts for the post-novice lifter, and how they can be an important tool for building muscle mass. Many lifters use accessories improperly, however, by either failing to progressively overload them over time or not performing them in a manner that produces hypertophy stimulus. As Andy points out, all lifters can learn a lot about hypertrophy by thinking like bodybuilders and obtaining a strong mind-muscle connection, an intuitive understanding of how to stimulate the target muscle using appropriate ROM, tension, and angles.
