Pulses after a set.

[dragon_girl]

Hi Cathe and all you Cathe fans out there. I've seen this in the gym and on some exercise videos so I wanted to know if there is any benefit to doing pulses at the end of a set of an exercise. For example, after doing a set of squats, do one more squat but only go half way up (thus, a pulse) and repeat a few more times. When I've done it I've always felt the burn and it feels like I'm really working the muscle, but is there actually a benefit to doing this? Thanks.

Interesting question. I hope Cathe answers too. I'm curious too!!

I think the pulses after a set gets into that muscle and finishes it off.Like the band work in GS.
Cathe does them alot. I think this tears down muscle tissue and is great for building.
But, my opinion. I am no expert.
