Flex between sets?
i have read in a few places that flexing between your sets can help to build muscle. I guess by getting blood to the muscles?? I really dont know why or what this would do, i was just wondering if anyone else has heard of this or does it.

I don't think it'll help to build muscle but it will get blood flowing through the muscle which helps in recovery.

I do it once in awhile, usually when I work-out alone in my basement.By flexing and then stretching after your sets, you'll allow more muscle growth to occur by breaking apart the tough, sheath-like fascial tissue that binds your muscles. - Ron Harris

Honestly who cares if you look stupid doing it? Gains are gains, and when you add a ton of size maybe they'll start wondering why they themselves aren't doing it. I'm gonna do it now on, see what happens :P

Re: Flex between sets?
Before a contest or when cutting, flexing between sets can make your muscles look harder. When trying to ADD muscle I recommend STRETCHING rather than flexing between sets.Originally posted by Vale Tudo
