The Benefits of Flexing Between Sets
1:01:56 - 1:10:42 (08:46)
Flexing in between sets can improve nerve to muscle connections and enhance hypertrophy. It can be beneficial to get stronger for improved speed, but learning to generate force with increasing speed is even more essential for those wishing to specifically enhance jumping, running, or throwing.

Whether you move fast or slow when lifting weights may not matter for building muscle, however, if you want to generate explosive movements and improve speed, developing efficient neural circuits that can generate action potentials quickly is essential.

Flexing in between sets, particularly for muscle groups that need improvement, could enhance hypertrophy, improve nerve to muscle connection, and facilitate stress, tension, and damage.

Summary
Flexing in between sets, particularly for muscle groups that need improvement, could enhance hypertrophy, improve nerve to muscle connection, and facilitate stress, tension, and damage. To improve muscle, at least 10 sets per muscle group are suggested, and testing one's capacity to cramp the muscle can give an idea of the potential for hypertrophy and strength changes.
