There's little difference between short / long rest times ..study done on this: h ttp://ww w.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16095405 For those too lazy to click: "The present study indicated that, within typical hypertrophic strength-training protocols used in the present study, the length of the recovery times between the sets (2vs.5 minutes) did not have an influence on the magnitude of acute hormonal and neuromuscular responses or long-term training adaptations in muscle strength and mass"

Hello there, have you heard about ｈｔｔｐ://ｍｕｓｃｌｅｇｅｎｄ.ｃｏｍ ? Just visit their web site at ｈｔｔｐ://ｍｕｓｃｌｅｇｅｎｄ.ｃｏｍ On their website you can watch a useful free video demonstrating the right way to pack on noteworthy muscles fast. This helped Ryan to overcome his muscle building stagnation and therefore develop chiseled muscle mass with no fat very quickly. It may help you as well.

though i'm no trainer, if u start eating more and lifting between, say, 5-10 rep range u should see results in both strength and size. once in a while maybe have a heavy day (3-5 REPS), but not everyday. bodybuilders eat like crazy and take supps cause they wanna get big. powerlifters and olympic lifters need 2 get as strong as possible but usually need to stay in a wgt category. do a combo of both, in my opinion.

man any 1 who does a set of squats and is able to do another set 90secs after in my opinion isnt pushing them selfs hard enough. To recover that fast after a demanding exercise like squats... man u must be lifting to fucking light (bitch weight) 3-4mins is the norm rest intervals for lower body. if i tried doing another set of squats 90 secs after a set my fuckin heart wud explode

This is a question that always bothered me, and I never knew the answer, no matter what people told me, or what I've read in the magazines, but for me, like the Hodge twins said, compound movements I feel what works for me is 2-3 minutes. Isolation movements is about 1 minute. That's what I found that works for me. Just my opinion though...

Samuel Mason commented on 27 Mar 2012

that type of attitude wont help you in life your lucky im a nice guy, if you wanna build muscle 30-15 second rests between sets WORK ON IT! if you wanna build explosive power in legs, no more than 4 explosive reps with 1 min rest between sets, you can count on my advice, this video is a joke i dont know anyone who does that stuff

GoProHD96 commented on 27 Mar 2012

At the end of the day they are just trying to help everyone out, its just advice as they say, you're comment "3 mins between sets no way i go 30 seconds" was un-called for. you do things you're, way others do it their way and if you no how much rest in-between sets is necessary why the fuck did you bother clicking on this video?

secutorclaudius commented on 19 Jul 2011

@mnoy91 i work out more like a powerlifter, heavy weight, low reps. heavy to me is between 1-5 reps (on the big lifts, of course, not curls or what not). if u eat a lot and take supps, then by all means train more like a bodybuilder (8-12 reps). heavy work made me stronger and bigger without taking anything or eating all day.

Hello, have you considered MUSCLEADER (look on Google)? There you will find a useful free video demonstrating how to start building visible muscle mass easily whilst reducing body fat as well. Brandon and hundreds of guys with the same goal experienced good results using this approach. Perhaps it will work for you also.

Dan Young commented on 27 Aug 2011

i used to do that and when i started resting for a shorter time is when i started getting results. 30-45 seconds and thats high weight low rep. and no it doesnt wear me out i have more energy because my heart rate is still up from the previous set and my muscles are able to do that easily without giving out.

You are correct. you can make your workout sessions much more productive if your eating the right foods to avoid fat and belly. Listen to this I saw an interview with body building champion where he talks about 7 odd foods he eats to keep his abs hard. if you are serious go for it now bit.ly/1bVm2sR?=njvoj

Crazy clip. Wonderful film. My good friend had been a fatty. He remodeled his body from 285 lbs of pure fat to 207 lbs of massive lean muscle. We thought it was incredible! I just signed up personally coz I want to enhance my entire body. He made use of the Muscle Building Bible (Look in Google)...

ossusman commented on 11 Mar 2012

@Calozpo they said for squats(or other exercises similar), which they said in another video do less sets for, you should take about 4 mins, so lets say 6 sets on legs or something, and a min for each exercise (at most) then thats like 6 min + 20 mins, 26 mins

DB swag commented on 21 Oct 2015

but wtf when i rest in between set next day i'm not sore but if i don't rest at all i'm sore the next day like i don't see the purpose of resting like why should you rest if your muscles can keep going im not sore at all when i rest between sets the next

fightboxing4545 commented on 28 Jul 2011

@Geertwildersforever then youre not working out for mass gains, your routine must go a little something like this... 4 sets of 20 reps for 10 work outs, when it should go like this... 2 sets of 5-7 reps for 5-6 work outs

optimal natural bodybuilding commented on 14 Jul 2011

6 to 12 reps isnt that more strenght? or how ever you spell it lol i hear high reps for muscle growth, but low reps is more power and strength gains, but if you do high reps for muscle growth you wont get stronger right?

Night0wll commented on 07 Jan 2012

@Calozpo not every work out, squats might be 4 but not leg curls or extensions...lol...i rest 3min on ave for my fist two exercise and the last 1 or 2 exer are alot faster due to smaller body parts and less weight...

asmiralo commented on 20 Nov 2015

i think each one has his own proper suitable rest time .. after the set just wait till feel your heart beat almost back to normal ( almost ) then do your next set .. jsut an opinion but i find it very helpful

how long should you rest between one arm alternate workouts? for example if i were to do one-arm overhead dumbbell triceps extension for one arm then switch to workout the other arm, what should my rest period be between those sets?

dpearson9er commented on 02 Jan 2015

Well done! Thank you, that was a very well organized explanation to a recurring issue that I have been trying to resolve. Thank you!

goestovalium11 commented on 27 May 2015

What i dont understand is do we take rest after 1 box jump or do we take rest after 8 box jumps(8 sets)? If i do 12 reps(push up) so fast that it takes 1 second TuT does that mean im doing all 4 things you mentioned? 12 reps=hypertrophy but its close to endurance(it ca be both) Tut=1 sec which means Power,and power/hypertrophy = strenght im confused

Dope Unicorn commented on 18 Dec 2015

Power is how strength and speed. Jumping high. Strength is just strength. Lifting up boulders really slow.Bodybuilding is tearing up muscle with enough resistance. Size. Endurance is cardio training. Tons of reps, hundreds.

CardsFlowerGMS commented on 15 Nov 2015

what about both strength and hypertrophy?

Dope Unicorn commented on 18 Dec 2015

+CardsFlowerGMS When doing push-ups, go down slow and then go up fast. When doing pull-ups, go down slow and up speedy... That how I do it. I also bought an adjustable 150lbs weight vest to make it harder.
