I'm sure everyone here has read this sentence at least once, and for sure asked this ourselves when we were beginning.

One of the main reasons novice lifters get stuck on plateaus and can't progress, even though their numbers are low, is not resting enough between sets (besides trying to add too much weight to the bar and not eating enough, of course, but that's an issue for another thread).

If you are TRAINING, and not just going to the gym "to look good, I don't care about strength" (like the average commercial gym goer), you NEED to take longer rests between sets.

The answer is simple:
"This isn't conditioning. You always rest 5 minutes. And maybe 10 minutes. And maybe 15 minutes - depending on how much weight you're handling. The stronger you get, the longer you rest between sets." Rip

If you want to NOT FAIL the reps on your next set, you need to rest 4-5 minutes at least! And don't be afraid of taking a 7 minute break between your deadlifts or your squats if you feel you need to.

Here's a small conversation that went on Sheiko's forums between a trainee and Sheiko himself:
Trainee:
"Regarding the squat ladders on the same percentage (various sets of 70% at different reps), if I am not mistaken, I think I have read somewhere that there is a specific rest-time for those sets? Something along the lines of 1-1-1-2-2-2min between the sets."

Sheiko:
"The comment about rest periods is not mine.
It is clear that the more reps you do the more rest you will need. For (70%) sets no more than 5-6 minutes. If longer you muscles will get cold and you increase the chance of injury. If you lift 90% and up you can rest 8-10 min"

He then further elaborates:
"For rest periods, if you do - Squat 50% 5х1set, 60% 5х1set, 70% (2+4+6+8+7+5+3) reps
I recommend for 70% the following:
2reps - rest 3min
4reps - 3m
6reps- 5m
8reps- 5-6m
7reps- 5-6m
5reps- 5-6m
3reps- 3-4m

Do not forget that the heavier you are the longer recovery you need."

TL;DR: "Rest 5 minutes dumbass!" Rip

3 minutes

I always rest a minute as I heard that's how old skool bbers trained and it keeps the metabolic intensity up which is good for both fat burn and hypertrophy?..
>>

>not training for strength and dominance

typical woman
>>
>>35747102
wrong
you get stronger by resting less, you can channel into fail safe power and pass your limits thats why im at 3 pl8 bench after a year of lifting
you're a gay ass dick girl mentally ill attention whore who looks like shit, who would take advice from you?
>>
>>35747928

>who would take advice from sheiko and rippetoe

Exactly!
That's why I always rest 1min and can OHP 200kg after a year of lifting.

Trappy when are we going to stop this charade, give in to our canal desires, and do horrible things to each other?

I always worry that people are judging me if I do nothing for more than a couple of minutes.

How to make confidence gains, /fit/?
>>
>>35747102

you're probably right, but i won't be doing it

5-6 mins between sets? that would mean 20-25 minutes of squatting 3 sets of 5 (including warmup). It would be even worse if you were doing 5 x 5. Then with the same rest time for other compounds plus the isolations, i'd be spending upward of 2 hours in the gym. fuck that.
>>
trappy stop copypasting shit from the SS book and cuddle with me
>>
>>35747102
>resting
This is the way to get no gains. I have a friend who does 2 sets on every exercise max and rests between them. Needless to say he's been working out for 2 years at the gym and still has hardly any upper body muscle.
Resting a meme.
>>
>>35748000
think of other people as npcs and not actually real people
>>
>>35747102
The big compounds:
Under 80% 1rpm = 3 min
80-95% = 5 min
95% + = 10 minutes or more

Accessories:
2 minutes max
>>
if i rest more than 4 min people will come up to me and ask if i am still using the rack

Yeah, I'm taking advice from a twink faggot who's legs are as thick as my forearms.

Kill yourself.
>>
>>35750344

I'm pretty sure Sheiko's legs are thicker than your forearms.
>>
>>35747102
By that time I'd be cooled down. There is no glove fits all method to this, sometimes I need no rest between sets but I do a 30 second minimum, other times I want to cry and rest for a minute and a half. It just varies on how long it takes for you to recoup without cooling down fully. Just do your next set when you're sure you won't fail, if that means an awkwardly long rest then so be it.

Keep in mind you may underestimate yourself and give yourself more rest than you need, you can do wonders with your tank half full.

You must have huge forearms.

I typically rest 1 minute. I do a 2 minute rest for when i do a superset however
>>
>>35747102
I go 90 seconds
And 2 minutes for last set since i go to failure
>>
How long should I wait between isolation sets?
>>
>>35747102
>How long should I rest between sets?
Low weight high reps: 1 to 1.5 minutes
Medium weight medium reps: 2 to 3 minutes
High weight low reps: 3 to 5 minutes
1RM: None, you should do this ONCE per gym session.
>>
>>35747102
That's too much. 2 and a half minutes to 3 minutes is enough. If you fail, jack it up to 5, then try again.

Next you neckbeards will start taking powernaps between sets, I swear...
>>
>>35750309
This, I rest until I'm ready to go. Some arbitrary timer won't improve your results if you fuck up on next set

>>
>>35753525
you could just ask to work in if you aren't a sperglord
>>
3 min rest max for heavy barbell work is enough
If you fail it means the weight is too heavy for you
>>
>>35753545

No it's not.

Great some autist is gonna occupy one of the two squat racks today for an hour and a half doing his SL routine. Thank you mentally ill abomination chan.

If this is a legit concern you never gonna make it.

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

Yeah, the mentally ill crossdresser needs his tripcode so people respect his advice.

Damn it, Trappy-chan, I don't have that kind of time.

Believe me, spending all day in the gym would be pretty fun but, shit, I got obligations, tovarich.

No gains for me. What do?

Trappy you have some good imputs and all, but you is mostly therical therefore DYEL. Just how you write your stuff shows how you lack real experience as trainer or even with lifting heavy weigth. I bet you are not older than 24 and has no more than 3 years experience with strength training.

ok

But this thread isn't her opinion, it's Rip's and Sheiko's.
