@trainbloom: How long should you rest between sets? Probably longer than you think… Resting 3 minutes produced significantly more strength AND size gains compared to resting just 1 minute in this particular study I know using short rest times gives you a better pump and makes you “feel” more tired, but neither of those things lead to more gains For a better breakdown of exactly how long you should be resting I recommend going off of what muscle groups you’re training For smaller muscle groups rest between 90-120 seconds (e.g. arms, shoulders, calves, abs, etc.) For bigger one’s (e.g. chest, back, legs, etc.) rest 2-3 minutes Remember, it’s very easy to rest too little, but very hard to rest too much And if you think you need less than a minute to make that possible, I would bet money that you’re just not lifting heavy enough Great originial video from @gymuncle Study in reel: PMID: 26605807
