Flex between sets to improve Definition Flex between sets to improve Definition
Save Tip

Many people do mini stretches in between sets, but many lifters aren't aware of how flexing in between sets can help as well. Flexing your muscles (flex them hard) can actually help you create more muscle definition. This helps keep the pump and helps flush out the muscles from build up such as lactic acid. Isotension also helps to add definition to your muscles. I'm not saying to stand there in front of the mirror posing in flex mode, but give an un-noticeable flex in between sets and it will give you a small edge.
