Notice how Loz Read moves in slow yet controlled motions. Exercising this way while focusing on the muscle you are trying to work can really help to build a solid mind-muscle connection. Furthermore, doing these exercises slow and controlled can allow you to do more sets than you would be able to do with faster-paced, explosive movements.
