read recently bout xrep or something like that, this is most likely old news to most of you but
basically you do your reps as per norm, when cant do any more, start to do pulses (quick partial reps) at the semi or fully stretched position where muscle can excert most force eg after doing reclined DB curls for bis and cannot comeplete another full rep, curl db up to almost 90 degrees from fully stretched
supposed to be about keeping the blood trapped or something as equally strange
gave it ago today and it certainly gives a good pump (i have trouble getting and maintaining a pump sometimes - cue the jokes)
did it for shoulders and seemed good
also can do these pulses between full reps called DXO or something.
anyway, seems ok.
