RE: Gaining Muscle 101: Rest Periods
I'm actually going to argue a little bit ;). 60-90 seconds IS optimal in the rep ranges you're using.
However, if you are doing powerlifiting training (something like a 5x5 program) optimal rest periods are something like 2-5min depending on what part of your 1rm you are using.
Thanks for the comment!
Absolutely! Actually if you check out the paragraph right above "conclusion," I state that 60-90 seconds is essentially optimal! I tend to agree with you about that. I just have found personal benefits near the two minute mark but I definitely aim to stay around 90 seconds!
Cheers!
Enjoy the vote and reward!
