What to Do Between Sets?
When training…I think it’s important to keep your focus. Even during your rest periods.
Here are few things I think about…
Most are questions.
What muscle or groups of muscles am I targeting with this exercise? Can I find away to get more muscle fiber recruitment on this next set?
What can I do to get there…?
Alter the angle of movement a bit?
Squeeze harder on the concentric portion of the rep?
Lower the weight slower on the eccentric portion of each rep?
If I change the tempo can I get more work out of the muscles and damage more muscle fibers
Sometimes I just sit and feel the blood rushing through the muscles I’ve just worked. I’ll also add a little flex and stretch.
I also slow down my breathing so I have more energy for the next set.
I think it’s important to keep your head in the game during both work and rest periods.
I hope this helps.
