The Muscle-mind connection is one of the most fundamental aspects of an effective workout session. Understanding the connection and prioritizing it can remarkably increase the quality of a workout. The 50-year-old bodybuilding legend Jay Cutler, who is an advocate of repeating the training block, explains why it is so important to build this connection.

Cutler states the fact that people often want to do something different every week at the gym, thinking it will help hit the muscles better. However, in reality, it only slows down progress. Here’s why.

Jay Cutler recommends following the same routine for a longer period

Thorugh his Newsletter, the Cutler Club, Cutler shares how prolonged training of the same routine creates potential for growth. He suggests training with high volume, slowly increasing it for 3 weeks with the same routine, and then deloading from the fourth week. According to him, this is because “The central nervous system needs time to develop a “connection” with exercises – this explains why each block keeps the order much the same.”

Cutler knows that some people might think that this repetition is not necessary. But to him, it is of utmost importance as it enables your body to register enough overload with the same exercises before moving on to the next routine. Further Cutler adds why high-volume training works the most efficiently, according to him.

Jay Cutler unveils how high-volume training leads to progressive overload

According to Jay Cutler, high-volume training is efficient as it not only enables the central nervous system to experience progressive overload but also stimulates mass muscle fiber recruitment.

Also, repeating the same exercise gives enough time for the body to memorize the movement, protecting it from injury.

Once this happens, it is time to bring about a change in your routine.
