3. Stretch
Stretching is one of the most effective ways to continue to gain muscle. There are many people who neglect this step of muscle building. Stretching will accomplish several goals for you while you are in an exercise program. Many people who build up large amounts of muscle mass do not stretch enough during the process. This hurts their overall mobility as they move around. Over a period of time, this can make a person less mobile even though they have more muscle. Stretching on a regular basis will help to improve your mobility, ability to recover and breathing. Stretching after a workout will also help to reduce the lactic acid that builds up in muscles. This can help you add a large amount of reps into your workouts simply be remembering to stretch both before and after workouts.
