Stretch and flex - Workout

Stretch and flex - easy way to enhance any workout

Flexing and Stretching after completing sets of each body part is a proven and easy way to maximize gains. 

Let's say you just completed nine sets of bicep exercises. Usually you'd just move on to the next body part. Instead, flex the bicep muscles as hard as you can to create a strong mind/muscle connection, and hold for 30 seconds. Then stretch for 30 seconds.

The 'Flex and Stretch' technique will help educate your brain to activate more motor units with the muscle fibers which in turn will enhance your gains.

Try it out and you will be surprised how much faster you increase your strength and size.

Negatives- a simple way to add variety to your workout

Adding variety to your workouts has been proven to be of critical importance to assure continued progress toward your fitness goals. Doing exaggerated negative movements is a great way to add variety to any workout routine.

Negative movements, also called 'eccentric' movements involve increasing the time spent lengthening or 'relaxing' your muscle during an exercise. For example, when doing a bicep curl the contraction or concentric movement (flexing) is performed quickly and the lengthening or eccentric movement is done with a four count. Actively resisting the resistance during the eccentric movement has been clinically proven to create more micro 'tears' in the muscle fiber. These are the 'good' tears that lead to stronger muscles over time.

While not something you would do all the time, doing 'negatives' is a great way to add variety to whatever routine you are currently doing.
