Hello,
We often talk about tension to help us to lift heavier. It can be applied in all moves, such as GU, press, etc... Here is the today's excellent article on SF, which explains how this works:
Sherrington’s Law of Irradiation: Why Tension Is Important
This muscle-mind link is crucial. For example, lots of old time strongman used it a lot, even on a bdw only base. Klein for instance, used it 5 to 10 times a day : contracting as strongly as it could his abs (or leg or arm) during 20 - 25s. Sandow used to do it too.
Visualisation and muscle isolation are commonly used in yoga and MA.
When you want to press for instance, trying to push a "door frame" while placing ourself right under helps a lot, even if this is a bdw version.
Kind regards,
Pet'
