The Power of Stretching
This is WHY you should STRETCH between sets
Stretching between sets can actually make you increase the amount of weight you are lifting!
Holding a stretch for up to 30 seconds can help boost the blood flow to the muscles and warms them up, increasing their elasticity by up to 18%.
Because flexible muscles can stretch further as well as use store more energy efficiently, it also increases the amount you are able to lift/push, giving you 30% more power at 60% of your max!
