What's more important: keeping rest times short or lifting

Lift heavy on your first exercises 3-6 reps. then do some hypotrophy exercise 8-12. If you have the time, keep it for 3 min rest. If not, then 1.5 min.

That sounds like a pretty dumb fucking idea anon, I already have a hypertrophy day for compounds

how the fuck is it cheating. more weight at greater volume means more gains.

are you retarded?

this

leave the 60-90 second rests for your accessory work

More intensity = more gains
More weight = more gains
My question is which one outweighs the other? More weight/less intensity, or less weight/more intensity? Same number of sets and reps.

the rest time is for your atp reserves to recover, not getting enough rest means training at lower intensity because you literally will not have enough energy to stress your system to its full potential. you're trading strength gains for endurance but if that's your goal fine.

>>42686002
you are using your own made up definitions for shit

intensity = % of 1rm on the bar, weight
volume = sets x reps, total tonnage, or number of hard sets

Conditioning is what dictates how rest you truly need. If you poorly conditioned - in lifting terms - it might take longer for you to take the best of each set, in general the fact that most lifters need few minutes on itself speaks much about strength training community.

if you don't mind your workouts taking longer, best option is to take long rests and still do the same number of sets
