If you focus on the big three - squats, deads, and bench press - and you only do one of those per day at the gym, then it only takes an hour total. Time under load is about 20 minutes, and the rest is rest.
I read books or even take my laptop if it’s quiet enough to work (pre COVID).
Of course they say you should do nothing in breaks except think about your without, but that is only for the special people who are absolutely committed (and obsessed).
Those long breaks allow you to regain a lot of capacity and enable bigger increases up to the pinnacle in the last set where you set your new 1RM or come close.
- travisjungroth 6y agoI’ve found flash card apps are really good for long rests. Doesn’t suck your attention out of the room like email/news/social/texting, but easier to pick up and put down than a book. I also guess there’s a benefit to learning in that state.
