Melvin McLainParticipantJust curious if anyone is doing this, and if so, can you can tell any difference?From what I understand (via Google), it's basically stretching the muscles (under load) immediately after sets, and is supposed to recruit more satellite cells for increased growth.Not sure why the load would be necessary though, as you should be able to fully stretch without added weight on the joints. ???Thoughts?

Robert x OlearyParticipantMy mi40x2 log was that series, and yes it's amazing. Unreal pump, I've never felt anything like it. It's not AFTER your set though, it's intra-set stretching. It's logical when you consider biomechical advantages of engaging antagonist muscles, but the benefit of it is surreal in that you feel it IMMEDIATELY. I love the pump, I crave the pump, and I've never had a pump like the NOS-X sets. They are definitely a bit techinical, but very easy to execute once you grasp the concept.

Melvin McLainParticipantYou do it between reps instead of after each set?

This isn't being done entirely correct. also I only watch a brief bit with the volume off, but the principles of intra-set stretching are being executed... sort of. you're supposed to drop the weight immediately AFTER the stretch-under-tension, with the exception of the final rep after your second drop set. Beyond that, best thing I can say is buy the program. It was a worthy investment for me.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVXOiNTvEGU

Melvin McLainParticipantI'm on dialup so dloading that will take a while. 😀But if you stretch for 20-30 seconds between reps, then it sounds like your workout mostly turns into a rest-pause protocol.

Melvin McLainParticipantWhat did you think of it?I watched the video btw, looks to me like he's doing it after/between sets.

A NOS-X set is one long set. Increasing the weight as you go, so yes he is doing the stretch in between sets. I love it and made progress with it.

Melvin McLainParticipantOk, thanks guys. As mentioned, I was just curious.
