When training for muscular hypertrophy, consecutive sets should be performed prior to when full recovery has taken place. When training for muscular power, a minimum of 3 minutes rest should be prescribed between sets of repeated maximal effort movements (e.g., plyometric jumps).
For loads less than 90% of 1 repetition maximum, 3-5 minutes rest between sets allows for greater strength increases through the maintenance of training intensity. When training for muscular strength, the magnitude of the load lifted is a key determinant of the rest interval prescribed between sets.
Research and weight room experience shows that longer rest periods produce more strength and power, whereas shorter rest periods produce more hypertrophy and muscle mass: Five or ten minutes between sets is not unreasonable for very heavy sets of squats, or chin-ups to failure, for instance.
Powerlifters, or people training for strength (as opposed to bodybuilders, who train for muscle size), may have occasional need for longer rest periods between heavy sets. This longer rest period would prevent cardiovascular failure from short-circuiting muscular failure. In these days, he suggests longer rest periods, perhaps up to 3 minutes. Arnold believed that bodybuilders should occasionally train heavy like power-lifters to get a hard dense look. By heavy, we mean going to failure in 6 reps or less. In another part of the book, Arnold talks about the occasional days which you should train heavy. Taking only a few seconds of rest would only promote endurance. The sweet spot for promoting size, endurance, and strength is 1 minute. So maintaining a regular pace in your training actually leads Muscular (as opposed to cardiovascular) endurance, the stronger youīecome. This means that the more you push yourself to develop Stronger you are, the more times you can lift a submaximal amount of The link between maximal muscle strength and muscular endurance. There is one other factor to consider: Physiologists have long noted Keep forcing the body to recruit more and more muscle tissue. So you don't want to allow your muscles to recover too muchīetween sets - just enough to be able to continue your workout and to Of muscle fiber possible, and this happens only when the body isįorced to recruit additional muscle fiber to replace what is alreadyįatigued. Point of this training is to stimulate and fatigue the maximum amount Percent of your strength, and by 3 minutes you have recovered all youĪre going to recover without extended rest. In the first minute after a weight-training exercise you recover 72 Try to keep your rest periods between sets down to a minute or less. Muscles get cold, and your level of intensity drops down to nothing. If you take 5 minutesīetween each set, your heart rate slows down, you lose your pump, the However, training too slowly is also bad. Also, you may have tendency to get sloppyĪnd start throwing the weights around instead of executing each Try to train too fast, you risk cardiovascular failure before you have It is important to pace yourself properly through a workout. Here is an excellent excerpt regarding rest from the Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding written by the famous Arnold Schwarzenegger:
