/fit/ What's the proper amount of time to rest between sets?

doesn't really matter. 30 sec to 1 min. try not to rest more than 90 seconds to keep yourself motivated

research says you get maximal strength and size gains at 3 minutes

>>37959942
to increase your lifts, as much time as you like, and desu you can just go for strength and still cut to a low body fat and work abs while being strong instead of doing a meme bodybuilder routine built for people on roids

>>37959942
when you start getting into heavier territory (1/2/3/4) five minutes or more

>>37959942
If you're going for strength, as much time as you need. I'd say a minimum of 2-3 minutes on working set and more if it helps. If you're going for hypertrophy, 60-90 seconds is usually sufficient.

Doing a 5x5 routine, 3 mins between sets and 5-6 between exercises is usually enough.

Back when I was only doing single reps on my one arm chin up I would take as much as 5 minutes of rest

>>37959942
Enough that you feel ready to do the next set. Not so long that you cool down. 3-5 minutes is good. 10 is fine. 20 is probably too much.

Yeah, well once you actually start putting up big numbers, 90 seconds isn't going to cut it lol

When you're ready
