Stretching one side of my body after every set for 10 days! It actually made a difference! But how much? Did I double muscle growth with this simple technique? What problems did I run into?

The best way to incorporate this would be doing a bilateral weighted stretch at the end of your last set for that muscle group - with an accessory lift (not a main compound). I saw a lot of progress adding this methodology to dumbbell chest flys and overhead EZ bar triceps extensions on my push days. Just let the weight stretch the muscle for 30 seconds immediately after reaching failure on your last set. 🙏🏻

And I think just incorporating slower movement and appropriate pause on eccentric reps in general would omit the need for post set stretching (Pygmie's method). Anecdotally this has noticeably increased hypertrophy for myself.

Got to agree with this some. Some static stretching on chest and triceps has done muchhh more in benefits for me in comparison to slower extra range of motion sets as it doesn't put the muscle in the stretched position without "tension" as such meaning after a stretcher slow set it would still feel tight but after a minute or two of static stretching at the end of workouts it definitely felt like there was a lot more muscle growth, control in exercises and strength improvements in comprising positions during the next workout

@@detour99 that's great you've had progress with that method! 🙌🏻 Full, controlled ROM with a pause is great for most beginner/intermediate people in the gym. Unfortunately that's just not enough for advanced lifters looking for the icing on the cake. Intense, explosive sets to (true) failure followed by weighted stretches are significantly more intense than slow reps with a pause.

According to Greg Nuckols, the maximum rate of growth for the arms and quads is about one inch per 3 months. So, 0.25 inches in a full month is about the limit. Anything more than that is probably swelling. Still, those were pretty consistent measurements, good job! On my power movements, I'll stick to just resting as much as possible, but on the hypertrophy accessories, let's give it a whirl.

Holding stretches for longer than 5 secs before or in-between sets will temporarily make you weaker atleast a first cause you're lengthening the muscle then lifting in a flexibility range your muscles aren't used to/haven't developed strength in. After a workout is the perfect time for static stretching cause the muscles are warmed up and can stretch easier without causing injuries or issues, think warm rubber band vs a cold or frozen rubber band.

Time under tension is a bogus theory. Stretch mediated hypertrophy is absolutely valid, though. The mechanism is based on the mechano receptors that are at the end range of motion. Every single rep of every set should focus on the stretch at the bottom of the rep. If you are not getting a stretch each rep, then choose a different variation. Why add extra time to do intraset stretches? Do full ROM deep stretch for everything.

​@@Al-qg9dr Some believe that stretching between exercises may increase the risk of injury. the reasoning is this. some people believe that your body naturally won't let you get into a range of motion that may cause injury. When you are stretching, those signals subdue and you are able to get more range of motion. and this is a good thing for increasing your passive range of motion, but bad for sport because you are now exposing the weaker, untrained, more unstable parts to the same stress you are the rest of your body. Which may increase injury. That's why passive stretching is generally avoided before sports like running, jumping, weightlifting,... that being said. There is a difference between passive stretching (where you sit for 30-120 seconds while waiting for your muscles to relax) and active stretching (where you are using dynamic work warming up to get into more range of motion) people get more stiff with age, and dynamic warm-up can help you get back to your normal working range of motion, while static stretching puts you beyond it. but I am no expert, so do your own research.

I'm trying "deep stretch leg curls". I use the the leg curl machine and bend forward as far as I can go, with a low weight and really punish my hamstrings. It hurts 4x more than just doing it regularly, but it seems to be leading to a better strength gain. I'm not nearly certain on this for now, but I'll keep doing it to see what results I get. I hypothesise it's working in the same way a regular weight lift would, where on the concentric we have micro-tears in the muscles which then rebuild themselves stronger leading to a stronger overall muscle. Except to a greater degree. It does make the weight I'm able to pull a significant amount lower, but as mentioned it seems to be leading to greater strength jumps between sessions. It is also taking longer to heal. My hamstrings feel weak for 3 to 4 days after, which I've never noticed to such a degree before. At most it's been weak the day after, and barely noticeably so. If you want to try it yourself, here's how I do it. It's inspired by what Sam Sulek does. I get on the sitting leg curl machine and do one half-rep at about half of my max weight. I pause at the bottom and lean my upper body forward as far I can, while still being in a stable position. Then as slowly as I can, about a 4-8 second concentric, I lift it back up. Usually I'm limited at about 15-20ish degrees on the first rep, and I get deeper and deeper after each. After 4-5 reps, if I still can't reach lock-out with my knees I try to bend my upper body back a little. It is unstable by nature though, so there is a chance I'm getting less stretch after each rep when I'm getting tired. It's hard to say exactly. I wanted to do this for mobility/flexibility in the start, but now I'm leaning more into it being useful for strength and possibly hypertrophy gains. If anyone is interested I can update this in a few weeks on my results. I'll definitely be trying this out for other exercises as well, especially unilateral lat pulldowns. I've just gotta make sure my shoulder is strong enough to not hop outta place again...

I think a problem with this experiment is that after stretching one side, that side will become more fatigued, so in the next set the stretched side will be pushed to failure (resulting in more muscle growth), whereas the non-stretched side will not, it will have a couple reps in reserve. So maybe doing unilateral excursions will solve this problem, making it a fairier experiments.

Im only 3 min in and already got a huge confounding aspect: With the intraset stretching only on one side and bilateral compounds you get the stretched side WAY closer to failure... And that should be compensated by extra work for the non-stretching side. My hypothesis is, that stretching as an additional stressor is just a way to get more out of less weight - but the time used stretching could also be used for extra reps to produce similar gains in the end

last time I got into shape for a shooting in April of 2021 or sth I ran a "Frank Zane Olympia Workout Plan" I found on liftvault and the original instructions emphasized stretching in between sets (both sides though), it was actually super effective just within 12 weeks I was able to put on size where I wanted and add dramatic definition, the cool thing was that Frank still liked to do some heavy compound lifting but for example in the case of deadlifts his top sets were done blocks or rack, so I was able to get some heavy stimulus in without as much fatigue overall, while I was in a slight caloric deficit. so it worked out extremely well and that was pretty much the only time I exclusively stretched in between sets as prescribed. I still do that every now and then when I want a superset to really blast because it can just very much save you time. you had pretty good results with your experiment here, but wtf why no growth on stretched calves lmao, it's almost like humanity attacked calves the wrong way for decades :D

I don’t typically “stretch” before exercise. I just warm up. Stretching causes instability in my joints, especially my knees. A good stretch after or on off days (after a warm up) seems to work best. Never looked at hypertrophic effects though. I know working a muscle in the stretched position works best, but again, sometimes hard on the joints. I wonder if just some good hard stretching after lifting is over would do the same without causing instability. Pretty interesting.

So it’s safe just to not to, and instead focus on doing good stretches at the beginning and end of workout

If the goal is time under tension then static stretching is the way to go. Dynamic stretches just warm up the muscles for the resistance exercises they're about to do. Doing a dynamic stretch between sets would basically just be an unweighted set. Obviously pigmie felt closer to injury and whether any if that mass is useable while constantly sore is up for debate but swapping it for dynamic stretching is just going to mitigate the hypertrophy gains to do something less taxing.

Fun video. I do think somebody would get better results doing a drop set or partials, though. You are doing more work on one side than the other, so I think yes, you would see an effect over time. Bro science wise, though, if this were a good method, pro bodybuilders would be doing it. It could also be extra inflammation on that one side from straining muscles after they have already been worked, as I don't see how somebody could add that much extra muscle to arms in 10 days without using ummm substances or having true newbie gains. Personally, I've never stretched at all, neither before, during, or after lifting or even running. I do a few light weight sets for activation of what i'm working and ramp up sets for compounds to get the CNS ready for the heavy stuff. Unless you have a particular issue or injury, or you are training for mobility in a particular sport, don't see the point of statically stretching a muscle for hypertrophy or strength work, when you could use that energy for another set or more reps to get closer to failure. Very nicely done video!

At the end of the sets I also hold the weight at the lengthened position which really finishes the muscles without moving it, maybe an inch at max.

I think that unfortunately, while interesting, this is a single test with one individual. For sure needs more research though! Would love to see the industry change from neglecting stretching to incorporating it. Even if both sides remained equal, the added benefit from working mobility and ROM from stretching would lead to massive quality of life improvements for most people going to the gym. I usually recommend for my clients to work their interset stretching as light until they finish with a muscle group and then do a more sustained stretch, to allow them to still have good performance throughout the workout, but it is interesting the idea of pushing a stretched muscle. The literature says that working a stretched muscle like this can lead to greater odds of injury, but when done intuitively with reducing weight as needed for safety, I can logically follow the idea behind doing this for hypertrophy.

It is well documented that stretching reduces strength/power. You’d need to use independent weights for each side and push to equal fatigue for a proper experiment.

As far as I know you should stretch at the end of the workout of the particular muscle group and that stretch should be done under tension, meaning it's a weighted stretch. There has to be some resistance to it.

More soreness comes from the new stimulus, and soreness brings inflammation which causes the increase in size. You should wait until soreness goes away and take the measures. I think after the inflammation goes away, the gain in size goes away too. Until the muscles adapt to the new stimulus. To really see the difference between the two sides you should train unilaterally each side

Stretching DOES, in fact, weaken you for 15 - 20 minutes.

I wouldn’t suggest stretching intra sets doing heavy compound lifts. I would suggest doing them on lighter safer isolation movements.

Tbh doing static stretches during or before workout increases the risk of injury because your muscles gets less sturdy which takes away solid foundation needed to lift heavy, controled and stable.

great video but i'm wondering if the size gains were inflammation or muscle? because stretching causes more muscle damage and it creates inflammation.

Shouldn't really emphasize a stretch during or before your workout other than the exercises itself. But nice experiment! My opinion, stretch that musvle like crazy once that muscle is done.

ofc you didn't choose left. you do EVERYTHING with your right arm, so you should've done left stretching instead to see if it truly does help with the arms.
