displaying multiple lines using AWk

say I'm doing awk 'NR==534'
Is there a way to display 534 535 536 537?
without appending to a variable? per line? maybe an easier way with a different command?
My first impression was NR==534-537 but that would be too easy :P

Hi.

You can use something like NR>=534 && NR<=537 (NR>533 && NR<538)
