This video addresses how to optimize rest periods between sets to maximize muscle gain.
There's no one-size-fits-all rest period and emphasizes listening to your body. The goal is to feel recovered enough mentally and physically to give your next set your all.
Here are the key takeaways:
Focus on maximizing each set: Prioritize quality over strict rest times. Train hard and strive to improve upon previous workouts.
Listen to your body: Rest until you feel physically and mentally prepared to tackle the next set effectively. Heavy compound exercises like dumbbell rows may require longer rest (around 5 minutes) compared to isolation exercises.
Rest serves recovery for the next set: Don't waste time on distractions between sets, but prioritize relaxation to optimize your next effort.
Break the rules if necessary: If you find a specific rest time (e.g., 2.5 minutes for bench press) enhances your training, stick with it. However, if structured rest periods hinder the quality of your sets, re-evaluate your approach.
Rest-pause training is an exception: Brief rests (10-20 seconds) are used between mini-sets within a rest-pause training protocol. However, the overall effort is considered one set. Rest until ready to hit the next "cluster" of mini-sets within the rest-pause training.

Holy crap I’m first! Love the real world practical knowledge this channel gives.

[@MassiveIron]

Thanks man!

I got so tired of resting in between sets (no word play there lol)
that I started doing one set to neaaaarly failure on many exercises. :))
(ok many may not agree, but I do multiple exercises per body part and I am on a cut with 1 hour cardio post lifting so it's working for now)

[@marcdanieltheriault3955]

✌️Thanx for validating what i have been using as rest between sets for many years now. I have always believed(have been training naturally for 35 years now & will be 48 years young soon) that the weights should be used to build as much quality & muscle as possible & diet(most importantly) when combined with reasonable amounts/types of cardio as an individual feels comfortable with should be used to burn the fat(i.e. let the weights build the muscle & let the diet/cardio take care of the fat burning). Also feel you are most correct in advocating that not all exercises need or should have the same rest time in between sets(ex: squats, leg press, deadlifts, rows, presses, etc… will necessitate longer rest times than bicep curls, triceps pushdowns, lateral delt raises etc). Awesome video & please keep up the great work you do kudos👌👍💪🥩🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@richardjallen1980]

Solid advice. If you only have a restricted time in the gym would you prioritise:
1. Limiting rest time to make sure you can get through the target number of sets.
2. Getting adequate rest and lowering the number of sets?
...Or some other approach like supersets, alternating sets etc?

[@colton5998]

Try both. I have found that for me, getting enough rest and lowering the number of sets (e.g. 2 sets instead of 3) works better for me. I have been training full body the past few months, so there might be some frequency benefit I am getting. Generally, though, 2 sets per body part 3 days per week has led to better gains than doing 3 sets, and it takes less time.

Best info out there!

I was just thinking about this. Thanks coach!

Thank you for watching

[@justinjones9194]

Just what i needed to see,thanks boss!

[@MassiveIron]

Thanks for watching

[@vaughanstarr3725]

Okay, am biased because I drink in a lot of rest ( prob a bit more than I really need), but it max's performance, and training from home I am not operating under a time crunch. So I can lift, chill, lift, chill. Have built some decent strength that way.

[@williambaker3219]

I agree with all this. I find back & leg compound movements to be most fatiguing and I need more rest between sets. I don't need as much for things like triceps, calfs, even chest work. I do find I need a bit more time between bicep curls (Esp with an EZ bar).

[@irishbears2103]

I don't time my rests, but I use a timer to time how long it takes my body to recover from a set to be ready for the next set. I started doing this about 6 months ago, and seems to work pretty well for me.

👍👍👍

[@HaloNewvegas]

Why my incline bench increases but my flat not increaseing

[@paulvelasquez4752]

If you are lifting for power you should smoke a cigarette at least every other set.

[@MassiveIron]

That's pretty much it man
