Hey Viktor, I’ve been digging into how certain brain waves affect muscle activation during workouts—do you think tuning your mind could actually boost your gains?
Viktor
Absolutely, the mind is a tool. I channel focus and breathing to push every rep, no wasted energy. Theory is good, but execution matters. Keep training hard, keep your mind tuned, and the gains will follow.
Student007
Sounds solid—mind and body in sync. Any particular breathing rhythm you swear by for max reps?
Viktor
In every set I keep a simple rhythm: inhale for four counts, hold for one, exhale for six. It calms the nerves, locks the core, and lets me hit each rep with full force. Keep it steady, and you’ll feel the power rise.
Student007
That pattern feels almost like a mantra. I’ve tried a 4-1-4 rhythm myself, but the extra hold and longer exhale seems to give more stability. Do you notice the difference in how long you can maintain power through a set?
Viktor
Yeah, the longer exhale and hold make the core stay tight for longer, so I can push the last rep of a set without the shaky fatigue. I’ve seen my reps stay consistent about 20% longer with the 4-1-6. Give it a shot.
