For me, it was definitely Romanian deadlifts. I used to just go through the motions, focusing mostly on moving weight, but once I really tuned into my hamstrings and glutes slow eccentrics, controlled pauses everything clicked. My progress skyrocketed, and I finally felt the tension where it was supposed to be.
Curious to hear which lifts changed for you once that connection locked in. Did you have a similar experience with something like bench press, pull-ups, or even squats? Always looking to learn from others’ tweaks and cues!
