As per Andrew Huberman and Andy Galpin's discussion in the episode Dr. Bret Contreras: How to Build Bigger Glutes & Legs and the clip Glute Training Insights, if I am aiming for 15 to 20 working sets a week and follow the principles mentioned, can I use different compound movements for each muscle group each week, or is it recommended to stick with the same movements week on week?
Am I getting the most out of my workouts if I lift heavier or if I focus on lighter weights, form, and mind-muscle connection, then progressively overload with more reps, sets, or weight?
Why can I lift almost double the weight with somewhat good form but not the best mind-muscle connection in the episode 268: The Top Fitness and Training Myths That Are Killing Your Gains | Ben Bruno and the clip Weight Training Insights from the episode Dr. Andy Galpin: How to Build Strength, Muscle Size & Endurance | Huberman Lab Podcast #65? Sometimes I don’t feel the muscle I'm trying to activate actually activate, and it feels like I’m just going through the motions. However, when I reduce the weight to about half, I get a better mind-muscle connection, can feel the stretch more, and it feels better overall.
