I understand that slowing your heart rate and relaxing is a goal between sets, so that you can recover more quickly and be ready to start your next set sooner.
I'm looking for a prescriptive "do this for X seconds, that for X seconds" instruction. But I haven't managed to find one from a Strongfirst Forum Google.
I know some breathing patterns like 4-4 (4 in, 4 out), 5-5, 6-6 take in as much oxygen as co2 released. And there's ones like 4-6 which I like to use when I need to relax.
Anybody have any suggestions on a breathing pattern to use between sets?
I presume in through the nose, out through the nose would be best.
