Recovery between sets

Be careful about aggressive stretching before workouts or between sets, research suggests (and personal experience confirms) that this can cause a loss in your ability to generate maximal forces.

And yet certain coaches reccomend stretching between exercises - especially complex trg. - but perhaps that’s different.

Light stretching between sets seems to be alright for me, at loosening up specific muscles without reducing force output.

I guess the rule is - listen to your body!
If you need it - do it!
