"You're
lifting the weight but you have no mental-muscle
connection to those lower spinal erectors. You're just
telling them to lift the weight, and it does. But when
you start getting that actual mental connection to those
muscle fibers, an absolutely wonderful thing begins to
take place. You begin to bring your body to life
consciously and you understand the enormous gift you have
been given in this body. That it really wants to be in
great shape — it does. It has a will of its own and
it is just thrilled over the fact that you are actually
talking to the muscles themselves. It's almost like they
have little voices and they celebrate over
it."
