    rest period between sets

    Hey, I was just wondering if any one can offer their opinion on what is the optimal time to rest between sets of squats, bench press, and deadlifts. Do you use shorter rest periods for accessory exercises such as bicep curls, skull crushers, flyes, etc? thanks

    Rest between Sets

    I have read a few posts on this Forum where people mention rest periods between sets and quote a specific time ie. 60 seconds, 2 minutes etc etc. Do people really do that, ie sit there and time the rest periods. I have never considered the idea, I just train. Would rest periods really be...

    Rest Days

    Just interested to see what people regard as a "Rest Day" Do you still complete some sort of mild exercise or do you declare rest days as an "Exercise Free" Day? Me personally, a rest day includes a 3.5km walk, no running but mostly incline walking, but absolutely no weights.

    High rep on rest days

    My chest area has the poorest blood circulation out of all the muscles in my body. Do you want to take a guess which muscles have the best blood circulation of all? That’s correct, my whole shoulder area from the neck all the way down to my front deltoids. Now in order for my muscles to grow, I...

    Rest time between intense cardio sets

    I'm currently doing some cardio after a weight session, like: burpees, Tabata thrusters, box jumps and barbell complexes. Except for the Tabata sets, I rest for 60 seconds between sets. Is this about right or should I adjust it? Aiming for fitness plus some extra fat burn.
