    Your camera is searching for the focus the entire time. Turn off auto focus and set it for the board, then set your aperture to something that lets the depth of field include you and it... like f8 is a safe bet. This is where lighting will come into play, so you can get a proper exposure. Something to think about, don't have to blow a ton of money on lighting gear for good results. Lot of DIY practical stuff out there. Love the videos!

    I appreciate these types of videos. They're very informative. The problem, however, is that there are just so many videos on this topic, and they all differ in opinion. There are also so many conflicting studies on the internet. I say we should all just self-experiment and find what works best. For me, I tend to rest about 2 to 3 minutes between sets. I can lift heavier and do more sets this way. It has helped me gain muscle. Shorter rest periods burn me out so quick that I end up feeling as if I could have done much more.

    The best results I've ever gotten is doing rest pause training with 2-3 minutes rest in between. So for example, dumbbell press: 12 reps, 20-30 sec rest, 6 reps, 20-30 sec rest, drop weight 15-20 % and do another 6-10 reps. Then rest 2-3 minutes. Volume wise I do 4 sets a week per muscle group (counting 2-3 rest pauses as one set). My experience is that I save a lot time doing it this way, and that 4 sets rest paused equals about 12 normal sets per week results wise.

    absolutely stellar content. I've always thought most youtubers leave out their rest times when they show a program they are working on. I have been doing 3 minute rest periods for as long as I can remember, but recently I've started varying the rest a little bit, but also using a lower RPE. For example, doing 5 reps with a 6 or 7 rpe, then doing another 5 reps within 30 seconds to 1 minute until I miss the 5 reps. so I might get 20 reps in under 3 minutes at a heavier weight, but since im not going to failure, I can recover quicker. I'm not sure if this is worth trying other than giving me a new task to accomplish and keeping my workouts from getting dull. thanks for this video, I really appreciate that.

      @jasonharrison9129 6 років тому

      i train for 60-75 mins which suits me. you need cortisol to help muscle breakdown (from towards the end of your workout) to help promote protein synthesis which happens a few hours after your workout. personally i would not train 2 + hours as this may lead to overtraining. also its worth noting you become more anabolic whilst feeding and sleeping.hope this helps.

    Set for set, longer rest periods is obviously better for strength and muscle building. However, shorter rest gives you the ability to go 3 to 4 times the amount of sets per workout. Which is where the muscle building comes in, it gives a lot more volume and sets per week.

      But 10-15 seconds rest isnt 'rest between sets' thats just more rest pause intensity technique on that one set. so if resting for only ten seconds and repping out some more raises ten times or howvere many it would still only count as the one set, Much the same as drop sets/running the rack. if only resting few a few short seconds (under 30) between lifts then I would count it all as the same set still

    do a proper 3x8 with 80sec rest is different than a 3x8 with 40sec rest. the factor is to force supercompensation. sprinters (100mt) perform shorts sprint 30mt and 30sec rest than 30mt and 30sec rest etc. after 40mt 30sec rest etc till they reach 100mt (starting standing up) and partial recover. after this training you could easly perfom a 3x8 with 100sec rest with way more load. shortening rest your cardiovascular system has less time to recovery so your cardiovascular system will improve its capacity in feeding the muscles. this mean better muscles vascularity, best performance. if you performe one set and the other 3 min later there is no way to improve your veins heart and cns capacity. hypertrofy is a complex adaptation, not only a muscle fiber enlargment. you need to enlarge all the system. like on roids athlethes.

      I rest just a bit then superset with another muscle group. I actually fit almost 2 workout days in one doing this so I spend way less time in the gym than most considering the results. Supersetting with ABS/shoulder/Arms/Calves/issolation work. Basically I just do another a completely different set that's not a main set like you can't really superset bench with squats past your warmup weights because you're all winded

      In these 3-5 minutes you'll be annoyed by angry people that want to use the same machine you're using and have been waiting for the last 15 minutes for you to finish the fucking exercize., or at least that is what would happen here where I live. Not to mention the workout would take 2h easy.

  • @RiDankulous
    @RiDankulous 4 роки тому

    Very useful thanks, Jeff.
    I do bodyweight stuff quite a bit so I can break up my sets throughout the day. There's no reason not to apparently. I don't see a reason to have the same exercise have all the sets sequentially without other exercise types in between. In fact, that's what happens during super sets. Only been doing this 6 weeks.
    I do some weights like Bulgarian split squats with weight, and the face pull but I can replace the face pull most easily with a weighted 'W' exercise for the rotator cuff. It's not as full range of motion but it gets the job done. The Bulgarian split squat, I travel light and need to use miscellaneous stuff for weight, or a gym if I have access which I do now, a cable machine.
    'Intensity' (weight) is a bit different in some bodyweight things. Steps of progression lead to more heterogenous measures of progression. I go for time on the wall supported handstand, and I am clearly getting more and more time. It's not a chore much anymore to knock out a full minute.

    @MrZyclops 6 років тому +1

    Ok.. at the moment i'm doing 5 sets by 12 reps.. on most of the exercises with a 1 min break (7 days a week). The issue is if I changed the breaks to be 3 mins instead of 1 min... then that would make the work out take way longer. So what's more important, net volume? or longer rest periods? With all of these things.. the answer is probably, who knows. I could do less sets (3 instead of 5) and have longer rest periods.. but there's not guarantee that would lead to better results. Time/Efficiency in the gym is a very important factor.

  • @starsoffyre
    @starsoffyre 2 роки тому +4

    As someone who works from home, I can spend a long time between my sets since I tend to alternate back and forth from working and lifting. Definitely helps with the recovery but I wonder if there is any drawback aside from the longer time between the start and end of the workout (which isn't an issue since I'm productive doing other stuff between sets).

    • @marknasby9627
      @marknasby9627 2 роки тому +1

      I’m in the same situation. I can literally spread a workout over a 8 hour period. Is there any drawback to resting for 10+ minutes between sets? Is there any benefit to this extra rest?

  • @gorillaofjohn15
    @gorillaofjohn15 3 роки тому

    i rest as much as i need to. Provided i am focusing on active recovery between sets and not on the phone. This is especially true when pushing very heavy sets of squats and deadlifts esp. Not just the body needs to recover but the mind needs to. It can be daunting and needs a lot of focus.
    I typically draw a balance between maintaining reasonable intensity (heart rate etc) and sufficient recovery. I do not believe in sticking to the same rest time everytime because our body is just not built to be like that. I find that my rest times for heavy exercises (4-8 rep range) is about 3.5-5min on average.
    I have to stress again that this is provided it is a focused rest, trying to get back to the set as quickly as the body allows. And not switching off and going on the phone or chatting at the side.
    for light sets on simpler mvoements and smaller body parts in the10-12 rep range my average rest time falls to 1.5-2mins.

  • @ThaOneChrisJONES

    I'm currently running a full body, 3 days a week routine. I've only been doing 60 second rests and feel fine ( granted I just got back into weight training about a month or two ago and use to only do little "bro" workouts in my room before finally getting this gym membership and focusing on fundamentals thanks to Jeff and the other Jeff lol ).

    • @neildepressedtyson540
      @neildepressedtyson540 2 роки тому

      The problem isn't that you don't feel fine if you do 60 seconds, it's that if you take 3 minutes, you'll find you can lift far more.
      Like in my case for about a month I was doing a 25kg Z barbell curls and just upping the time waited between sets from a minute to 3 minutes made me instantly be able to the exact same reps but at 35kg per set.

  • @niels9875
    @niels9875 2 роки тому +2

    To keep things easy, and since I really do isolation exercises, could I focus on a minimal of 3 minutes for all exercises I do? And one stupid question: Should you also rest between the last rep of an exercise and the first rep of an exercise (so going from Chin ups to Dumbell press)?

    • @ohsharpy4986
      @ohsharpy4986 2 роки тому +1

      Yes you should rest between different exercises even if you are doing two random/ unrelated exercises for different muscle groups. That is unless you are specifically wanting to do something called a “superset”.

  • @JeffO-
    @JeffO- 6 років тому +2

    Very good video. I benefit from 3 min. rest for some smaller muscle groups like biceps (for me). They need higher weight/lower reps and don't recover as quickly between sets. I'm usually going RPE of 8-9. Overall my body isn't good with endurance, not that weight training is anaerobic, but I do so much better with more rest. I'll go four minutes for larger muscle groups on harder sets. The only thing I use the phone for is a workout app, which includes a timer for rest times. Never get stuck reading through a social media feed and losing track of time.

  • @bratteb
    @bratteb 5 років тому

    @Jeff Nippard. You say that the grounds for 3minute rest period being better than 1minute, is because of the chances for decreased total volume when using lower resting periods. That however doesnt actually answer the question of whether 1minute rest period causes more metabolic stress and increases hypertrophy, which I assume is the theoretical grounds for the "old school" paradigm. Theory and practice are often two seperate things, and i understand an impact on total volume is highly likely in the case of shorter restperiods, but what are your thoughts on this matter in a theoretical and physiological view, in the case where the total volume is identical?

  • @davidolmos6335
    @davidolmos6335 2 роки тому

    With heavy compounds, are we talking about strength training (1-5 reps) or hypertrophy training (8-12 reps)? The rest period mentioned here seems appropriate for strength but not sure about hypertrophy training with compound lifts.
