What's a decent rest time between sets? Should I set a timer

>>35656325
listen to your body anon

I usually set a timer for 5 minutes. This also makes it easier to see if you have progressed.

>>35656325
it depends, but i generally rest 1 minute if i'm doing bodybuilding stuff, 3 minutes if i'm doing submaximal and 5 minutes if i'm doing maximal

This

>>35656391
Would you please define those terms for me?

>>35656483
minute- a duration of time lasting 60 seconds or 1/60th of an hour
bodybuilding- the art and science of building a body
1,3,5 - postive integers in the real domain

>>35656339
this is the only correct answer.

for me its sometimes as little as 2 minutes, or sometimes as long as 5 minutes

also this >>35656391

the longer the rest the greater you can exert your muscular strength in a set. the shorter you rest, the harder you have to exert your cardiovascular system. whichever you value more you'll want to train harder.

there is no ideal rest time unless you are doing something very specific (like powerlifting requires several minutes rest, obviously). it may be beneficial to at least monitor your rest times, though, as as training progresses you can do other things besides manipulate reps/weight used, you can also shorten/lengthen rest intervals.

Thanks for the valuable input, here's a term for you, « Difficulty understanding their listener's perspective. For example, a person with autism may not understand that someone is using humor. They may interpret the communication word for word and fail to catch the implied meaning.».

3 minutes

>>35656325
1 second

>>35656325
High reps/low weight: 1-1.5 minutes
Med reps/med weight: 1.5-2 minutes
Low reps/high weight: 2-3 minutes
1RM/max weight: 2-5 minutes

I don't have the study at hand but;

Generally, when you only wait 1 minute you run a lot higher risk of having to drop either a rep or weight for your next set. In return, 1 minute rests usually yield more "explosive" muscles, i.e. "bigger". Not more in actual strength gains, tho, that remains the same throughout. As I understand it, this is why bodybuilders usually wait for 1 minute only as in the end, their muscles will become more defined by this approach.

5 minutes seems excessive for me. I wait 2-3 minutes. 3 (or more) when deadlifting.

more than 30 seconds and you're taking a nap
