Hello.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
In this episode, I'll be revealing how to optimize your
mind muscle connection to achieve all your fitness goals and
achieve that dream physique they're looking for. It's all through
the mind muscle connection, and that is where you're going
to be able to use your mental focus to really
(00:27):
make the muscles move properly, become more efficient, and actually
have the appropriate connectivity to the muscle in which your
command improves. Now, this doesn't happen overnight. This is a
dedicated discipline process, just like anything. Listen, you didn't ride
a bike. The first time you went out rode the bike.
(00:49):
It took you five, six, seven times. It took you
maybe even more than that, maybe it took you a month,
or two weeks or five weeks.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
That's just a simple riding the bike.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Now, when we're talking about all the different movements of
the muscles and the muscle patterns, you can in order
to achieve the fitness results you want, you can build
this mind muscle connection, and it is essential to make
sure that you improve that focus and mental energy towards
those muscles. And whether it's an isolation xcize or a
(01:22):
compound excise. So in this video we're going to and
in this episode, we're going to go through the attributes,
the tips and strategies, the benefits and how to go
about this, and I've designed over the years. Of course,
I started training sports conditioning camps and personal training and
(01:42):
all these things while I was still in college for
Health and Human Performance at UMass Well, and this was
in the early nineteen nineties, So I've been doing this
for a very long time to make sure that I
can give the right tips and techniques that that helped
me get to what I visualized for myself and my
(02:03):
dream to play collegiate sports. After crashing a car crashing
into me when I was just thirteen years old and
I broke both legs and spent four months in the hospital. Well,
I didn't realize at the time when I was crashing
into by that car and went up and over the
hood and landed on the other curb, and don't remember
(02:27):
much after that until I of course was woke up
in the hospital on a intraction. So I had to
relearn how just to walk because I had no muscle
left in my lower body after four months in the hospital,
and then after that I had to learn this technique.
This process of mind muscle memorization, mind muscle conditioning and
(02:49):
using my mental focus to build each individual muscle and
then work with them as a compound movement pattern to
get them back to full optimization in order to play
high level sports. So here we go. We're gonna begin,
of course, with some focus and some tips. Okay. So
(03:09):
the first thing is is you have to concentrate on
the flexing and the release of the muscle, flexing and stretching,
and when you do that with resistance on your We're
talking about strength training in particular right now, because strength
training is where you need to build. You need to
build the muscles in order to run more efficiently. You
(03:30):
need to build the muscles to do better push ups
on your own, need to build the muscles to be
a better climber, or a better skier or play better tests.
Each individual muscle has to be strengthened and then optimized
together in a pattern of movement.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
And that pattern movement which would would be.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
For your particular you know, thing that you really like
to do, which could be again playing tennis, it could
be skiing, could be swimming. Trained a lot of swimmers
over the years, and that entails making sure that not
only are all the lower body muscles and upper body
muscles stronger, but then they train with the mental energy
(04:15):
and focus to work them together in a whatever swimming
event their particular. Some of them would only have two
or three major events, so you wouldn't be doing all
the strokes, but how do they work together in that
stroke that they're doing.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
So, whether it's.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Golf or anything else, let's talk about the mind muscle
connection and strengthening that mind muscle connection because you can
already understand the benefits of training with the M three process,
and the M three process means that you're focusing your
mental energy into a muscle group. Now, the first step
is to again feel the stretching and flexing of that
(04:53):
muscle group. How does it tighten, how does it stretch,
how does it tighten, how does it stretch? And with
that you're testing, of course, what strength is available for
that muscle, and then you're testing what's available on the
other side, the right side versus the left side. Okay,
so whether it's your chest muscle, or whether it's your
(05:13):
back muscle the front back, or whether it's the right
right show a left shoulder. You know we're going to
make sure that all of those are tested and equalized. Right,
So we want to make sure that they're equalized. Well,
how do we equalize them? We have to make sure
we have that focus and innovate and recruit the right muscles.
Recruiting the right muscles is where so many times we
(05:38):
get on a bad path and you may have tried
to strength and you may have gone and I'm going
to give you the inappropriate ways. Sometimes we're trying to recruit,
say our pectoral muscles across the front, but we keep
using the triceps more to extend the arm, or we
keep using the shoulders too much to flex the shoulders
(05:59):
and not recruit the pectoral muscle across the front the
front of the chest and the shoulder so that the
front of the ribcakes does everything together. So if you're
using your triceps too much, you're not going to be
recruiting your pectoral muscles, and that causes dysfunction, and that
causes a lot of shoulder injuries because if you're recruiting
the triceeps and you're putting all the stress that you're
(06:20):
trying to put on the front of the chest muscles,
which is a stronger muscle.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Group, it stresses the shoulder.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Okay, so if you're tightening your triceps too much trying
to do your pectoral muscles, don't let that stress go
to your shoulders. We want to recruit the pectoral muscle,
and that's so important. Whether you golf, you play hockey,
you need to have recruitment on the right muscle and
the right strengthening so that the right side of the
chest and the left side of the chest they have
(06:49):
an equal motor cortex. Right our motor cortex, we're telling
it to do it. It's movement and it's performing that movement,
and then we build that strength up accordingly. But we
can't build that strength up if we're not recruiting. So
how do we do that. There's a very important process
and there's once we feel that we're stretching and flexing
(07:09):
the muscle, the second step, this is called the M
three muscle find that. I designed this over the years
to help all of my clients and students in you
to make sure that you have appropriate recruitment of the
right muscle. The three step muscle find a method is
you're feeling the stretch and the flex, so you actually
can feel the m tour. We talked about that the
(07:31):
mechanistic movement of the muscle, and that's improving that rapamycin.
It's releasing that epigenetic factor that says, oh, I'm moving
that muscle. I need to strengthen that muscle. So that's
the M tour stretching flex And the second stage of
(07:52):
the M three muscle finder that I design is this,
do you feel blood flow start to happen, feel a
burn start to happen. So the burn is going to
signal you that you're using the right muscle.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Don't be scared of the burn.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
The burn is part of the discipline of using your
mental energy to accomplish something that the common average person
can do but doesn't always understand the process of it. Okay,
everybody can do this, no matter who you are. When
you start to feel a burn, you don't want to say,
(08:30):
I'm going to redirect my focus away from that. I'm
not gonna know. You focus into that effort and you
make sure you tighten that muscle and you burn the
muscle enough that you stimulate this M tour to release,
and you stimulate the blood flow to go to that muscle.
When we get more blood flow to the muscle we're
directing our mental energy towards and our focus on. Then
(08:53):
we know where that burn is going to produce greater
blood flow. So are we getting the blood flow? So
Step one, feel the muscle, stretch and flex. Step two
do we feel the burn? Over and again, this is
a discipline thing. You're not going to feel the burn
on every muscle the same because you haven't developed the
strength and capacity in that.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Muscle the same yet.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
But you will with the discipal with the focus that
you're going to require for this and that you can
do for this. Okay, once you start feeling the burn
and you start feeling the blood flow, now you can
now understand this is your process to begin strengthening the
muscle to build up more mitochondria. We call mitochondria the
(09:36):
energy packs in the muscle. So you want to volumeize
that muscle with more mitochondria developed and initiated inside that
Our muscles, in the science of it, have mitochondria energy
packs in them. Each muscle fiber does. But we can
build up more of them and go from maybe only
(09:57):
being able to handle you know, a certain amou a
distance or a certain amount of speed at a certain distance.
We can build up greater distance and greater speed at
that distance.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
This is a training effect, and that happens through the
development of these energy packs inside the muscle. So you
might only be able to burn, you know, fifteen hundred
calories your first six months or year of working out.
But after you begin training longer and you focus on
your mental energy, you state disciplined, you stay on target
(10:33):
with your training routine, with feeling that you're getting this accomplished.
Now you can start to burn twenty three hundred calories
on that effort. Now you can start burning thirty one
hundred calories on that effort. You can go three hours,
you know you can. Maybe you're hiking. You're hiking. You
(10:54):
can only hike for so long on such an incline
for a certain amount of time, forty to fifty minutes,
and again that's seven hundred calories.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
But as you get stronger muscles, higher levels of minochondria
into those muscles, your strengthening happens. Your muscle movement patterns
are better because your hamstrings and calves and thighs and
glutes are all now stronger, and you've applied the discipline
to improve the strength of those from them M three
(11:25):
muscle finder. Now it goes ahead and you can now
build greater capacity in those muscles. So now you can
go for an hour and fifteen minutes at a greater incline,
and now you're burning eleven hundred calories. I've worn equipment
where it tracks how long you know you hike for
(11:46):
how many calories you burn. And if you can hike
for two and a half three hours, guess how many
calories you're burned, Well, seven hundred times three. That's twenty
one hundred calories you can over the.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Course of a hike.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
On a good climb on weekend, you can burn twenty
one hundred calories because your muscles are conditioned for it,
and you get done and you feel good because you can.
Now you don't want to go so far on any
of your workouts, whether it's strength training or hiking or cardivascar,
that you cannot even move the next day, that you
(12:18):
can't that you can't do anything. We want to have progression.
So that's the biggest takeaway from today is that the
discipline we're talking about, the miles betcha M three muscle
finder method, and all of these things need progression. Please understand,
(12:40):
anybody can do this. It does not take some SuperOrdinary person.
In fact, so many of us know that just a
common person goes out and does extraordinary things. They just
maintain their mental focus on that task and on that achievement,
and that takes progression. That takes time. Patience. Okay, So
(13:03):
focus on these things as you are going to work
through this progression. You're going to work through development of
the flexing and stretching of this target area, the burn
in the target area, the development and feeling of the
circulation the blood flow to that target area, and that
(13:26):
takes focus. And that's why we like you to focus
on making sure you're doing you know, averaging about ten
or twelve reps. We're putting in about twelve reps, and
the twelve repetitions you do with that four sets, so
it's about just over a minute with thirty seconds resting
between four times.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
That's forty repetitions.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
And you perform that for your push up movement or
your chest movement. If you want to use a piece
of equipment that's lighter than your body weight, then you
go ahead and do that piece of equipment.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
You use a lighter weight for kettlebell or dumbbell, and
you perform that over and over and over again.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
And you maintain that you're feeling the muscles flexing, stretching,
you're feeling you burn, you're feeling the blood flow to
that area.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
And do that over.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Time and you will attain what you visualized happening within
your body. The Miles betch of Victory Playbook specifically targets
that visualization is the vat Okay. Implementation of the specific
strategies is that part of the victory. The first things
are visualizing, seeing where you're going to go, being disciplined
(14:36):
to make sure you stay there long enough, and then
implementing the strategies of what we're talking about right here, strengthening,
developing better muscle control, doing your carnivascular training, improving the
function and movement patterns of those muscles, going a little
bit faster, going a little bit further, increasing the intensity
(14:57):
over time.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
It's called progression. Your body adapt okay.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
So as your host Miles speccha, I also went through
all these things, as I said, and I when I
found out the mind muscle connection, and I was able
to tap into my mental focus to make sure that
I could improve all of the muscles of the lower
body and then it to where I could then run again, Uh,
(15:24):
never mind just walking and get out of the wheelchair,
run again. And then I applied that to the strength
of the abdominals, to the strengthening of the shoulders, the arms,
the back muscles. I applied the same for mental focus,
to making sure I had all those muscles appropriately strengthened, conditioned,
and then I was able to achieve what I visualized,
(15:45):
which was to once again play competitive sports in which
I did all the way in through at UMass Loll
River Hawks with track and field, into and outdoor track
and field and football. So I can I continue that
to this day. I also play some competitive baseball out
(16:06):
here in Arizona. So I look forward to hearing from you.
Please let me know if you have any input, any
thought you'd like to hear, and I look forward to
seeing her on the next episode.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Thank you so much.

between four times.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
That's forty repetitions.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
And you perform that for your push up movement or
your chest movement. If you want to use a piece
of equipment that's lighter than your body weight, then you
go ahead and do that piece of equipment.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
You use a lighter weight for kettlebell or dumbbell, and
you perform that over and over and over again.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
And you maintain that you're feeling the muscles flexing, stretching,
you're feeling you burn, you're feeling the blood flow to
that area.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
And do that over.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Time and you will attain what you visualized happening within
your body. The Miles betch of Victory Playbook specifically targets
that visualization is the vat Okay. Implementation of the specific
strategies is that part of the victory. The first things
are visualizing, seeing where you're going to go, being disciplined
(14:36):
to make sure you stay there long enough, and then
implementing the strategies of what we're talking about right here, strengthening,
developing better muscle control, doing your carnivascular training, improving the
function and movement patterns of those muscles, going a little
bit faster, going a little bit further, increasing the intensity
(14:57):
over time.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
It's called progression. Your body adapt okay.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
So as your host Miles speccha, I also went through
all these things, as I said, and I when I
found out the mind muscle connection, and I was able
to tap into my mental focus to make sure that
I could improve all of the muscles of the lower
body and then it to where I could then run again, Uh,
(15:24):
never mind just walking and get out of the wheelchair,
run again. And then I applied that to the strength
of the abdominals, to the strengthening of the shoulders, the arms,
the back muscles. I applied the same for mental focus,
to making sure I had all those muscles appropriately strengthened, conditioned,
and then I was able to achieve what I visualized,
(15:45):
which was to once again play competitive sports in which
I did all the way in through at UMass Loll
River Hawks with track and field, into and outdoor track
and field and football. So I can I continue that
to this day. I also play some competitive baseball out
(16:06):
here in Arizona. So I look forward to hearing from you.
Please let me know if you have any input, any
thought you'd like to hear, and I look forward to
seeing her on the next episode.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Thank you so much.
