Tip of the Day: In honor of back day, I'm taking it back ((pun intended hehe)) to a tip I could have used when I first began weight training. For some reason, I found it so difficult to actually feel my back muscles engaging during a workout. Mistakenly, I thought going heavier with the movements would help when, in fact, I found just the opposite to help. If this is something you struggle with ((on back day or any other day)), try lowering the weight, practicing proper form and closing your eyes to really feel the targeted muscle engage. Lowering the weight will eliminate a major strength challenge, allowing you to focus on feeling the movement so that you can build the muscle up. With time and training, the muscle will develop and it will become easier to engage in the long-term. Keep at it!
