About this video:

Targeting Muscle Groups is a video where 13× Mr. Olympia competitor Shawn Ray shows how to train muscle groups with precision: understanding what each muscle does, hitting it with the right exercises, and using form and focus so every set counts. Shawn Ray does not demonstrate exercises on screen. He shares how he thought about targeting muscle groups across forty years of training, so you stop guessing and start building.

What are the major muscle groups and their functions?

Understanding the major muscle groups and their functions is the foundation of smart training, and knowing which muscle groups to workout together follows from it. The video walks through what each muscle group does, because knowing a muscle's function is what lets you choose exercises that actually work it. This is where precision targeting starts: not with more exercises, but with understanding what you are training.

How do I target the right muscles during exercises?

Precision targeting means hitting the right muscles during an exercise rather than letting stronger muscles take over. The video shows how to target muscle groups through small adjustments in setup and execution that direct the work to the muscle you intend, so the effort you put in shows up where you want it, on the muscles you are trying to build.

How do form and the mind-muscle connection work together?

Proper form and technique are what make targeting work, and the mind-muscle connection is what sharpens it. By focusing on the muscle you are working through a full, controlled rep, you elevate ordinary training into precise training. Form directs the movement, focus confirms the right muscle is doing the work.

How do I avoid common training mistakes and injuries?

Avoiding common mistakes and preventing training injuries is crucial for long-term success. The video covers the errors that quietly stall progress or lead to injury, from poor setup to chasing weight over control, and how to correct them. Staying healthy is what lets targeting and progress compound over the years.

Targeting Muscle Groups pairs naturally with the Mind Muscle Connection audiobook for the focus side of training, and is included in the 7-video bundle.
