Unless you're competing and pushing for that last 5%, there's no need to rest 3-5 min. 1-1.5 min should be plenty except maybe the last set or 2 if you're real

- tarsinge 9y agoYes, you can even go as low as 20-30 seconds if your goal is not competitive powerlifting and more aesthetics, I wasted way too much time for inferior results before switching to short rest time
- handedness 9y agoAlternate working either opposing or totally unconnected muscle groups and there's no reason to rest any in between sets, which has the added benefit of turning it into a pretty incredible cardio workout at the same time.
- nostalgiac 9y agoNot entirely true. Once you're at a reasonable strength level simply switching muscle groups will not provide adequate rest for your CNS to perform your sets optimally.
- tarsinge 9y agoLike I said above short rest times are not for powerlifting purposes but works perfectly in higher rep ranges. This http://borgefagerli.com/myo-reps-in-english/ http://borgefagerli.com/myo-reps-in-english/ works very well for me, great results and very short workouts.
- plaguuuuuu 9y agoI usually have a rest between sets cause I'm tired :o
