Your muscles aren’t always the first thing to fail.
After an all-out set to failure, your central nervous system can become the limiting factor before your muscles are ready again.
Rushing into the next set often means less force production, worse execution, and lower training quality.
A few simple techniques between sets can help you calm down, recover faster, and produce more output on your next working set.
Sometimes better recovery between sets leads to better hypertrophy than simply shortening your rest periods.
I break down exactly what I do during heavy sessions.
