What is actually happening in the 5 to 10 seconds when I absolutely cannot do another rep at the gym, take that extremely short rest, and then can lift again?
You might know the feeling. You're doing a set, you're breathing hard, you're shaking on that last rep, it is physically impossible for you to move the weight again.
But only a handful of seconds later, you go from unable to move, to being able to push again.
What is the change that is occurring in such a short time? #science
