If you’re on a bench or machine people start giving you dirty looks lol

“You’re doing a great job. You’re an idiot, but you’re my idiot, and I’m proud of you.” “I don’t know who you are and I’m terrified so I’m going to do whatever you want me to do.”

Those minutes feel like an eternity sometimes like I feel I should be doing something😂

on heavier compound movements like the bench press or squat, if you are going to complete failure you can rest up to 5 mins or more.

Never knew that it could last 3 minutes. This is also so hard for me since more than a minute I start doing stupid things on my phone and go all out of focus 😂

I've never liked the 30 sec rest period. It never ever felt like i got any rest

Finally someone who finally understand how working out works

If I saw someone staring at me like this in the gym I would leave and take the long way home

Guys dont think in boxes. 2-3 minutes in general is good for hypertrophy since you are fully recovered. If you are very fit though with good cardiovascular system, you could start the next set earlier if you are not heavy breathing anymore. But in general, if you push a set close enough to failure, you shouldnt be able to push hard in less than 2 minutes because this means something was wrong with your intensity in the previous set. Also don't think you should always have to do 3 and 4 sets in each exercise. If you push hard enough you can do 2 or even 1 set per exercise in some cases. Just be sure to calculate your weekly volume of sets P.S. exception for all of this are small muscle groups like: side delts, biceps, calves in which you might be able to go after even 1 minute, because they are usually not so fatiguing for your nervous system 😉

I do an attack of clash of clans between sets 😂

😂😂😂🙏🏾yoo bro be smiling funny as hell bro dope for that in these videos it be entertaining

This is why I love having a bench at home. I can take long rests between bench/squat without any looks or questions

I ain’t spending 2 hours in the gym

best time to rest on small muscles is about 1 minute and on bigger ones like legs or chest is about 2 minutes or longer, but it all depends on how hard the sets are etc.

5 min is a must for me to get full performance again

I been strength training so after the first set I set up my tent and take a good 2 hour nap before the second set

Thank you! So many people act like you're not working out when you take actual appropriate breaks.

Working outs too addicting istg 😭

And remember when taking long rests if someones waiting on the machine etc..explain your rest times and ask them if they wanna jump in while you rest. Be kind and thoughtful out there guys ❤❤❤

To increase strength and power, the best rest period is 2-5 minutes between sets. To increase hypertrophy (muscle growth), the best rest period is 30-90 seconds between sets. To increase muscular endurance, the best rest period is 30 seconds or less between sets.

30 to 60 secs for small muscle groups e.g biceps, triceps calves and shoulders(on isolation exercises e.g all variations of raises) 1-4 minutes for larger muscle groups e.g back, chest, shoulders(compound exercises), and legs(especially when doing compound exercises, the heavier or the more intense the set is the longer you'll need to rest)

You rest until you are ready. Don’t rush it. Don’t take it too slow. Be in tune with yourself and how you feel physically. On a machine sometimes I only need a minute, on deadlifts or heavy squats (like 80% of my PR or more) to near failure can be like 10 minutes even.

I always like to play piano between the sets.

Literally think about your videos everyday I’m in the gym dude

YESSSS! If you can hit the next set within 3mins of the last one, you didn't push yourself hard enough.

i usually rest between 2-5 years. Depends on the motivation.

My coach never allows me to rest for 2 minutes 😂

My gym trainer be like 20-30secs thats all Fcking could not lift the bar after 6 reps, when i take more then 2mins i can do full reps without failure......

Keep em coming the world gonna love it.God Bless you young man.

I usually do 4 sets and take a good 3min rest between the 2nd and 3nd set. I found this to be the best for me

Your videos are a lot better now, man. Props.

the 2-3 minute rule is a good rule of thumb. for how ever long your set is, 10x that time taken for the set, as a rest break.

I do 30-60s only on unilateral isolation exercises. I rest between both sides so they are equally stimulated but I don't want to spend an hour waiting

Yea but my anxiety is telling me that people are waiting for the machine so i gotta do 30 😂

Powerlifters: Its not called rest it called sleep.

As a gym and a calisthenics enjoyer as well, I usually take longer rest for the sake of better performance.

General rule of thumb: Isolation is around 1-2 minutes rest per set Heavy compound is 3-5 minutes rest per set

It's the resting that really makes me feel like time is passing by faster 🤣

It depends what you’re looking for if you want a better pump and to focus on hypertrophy rest for 30 seconds to one minute, but for strength training, you wanna arrest longer with a higher weight and rest 2 to 3 minutes may sound, ridiculous but maybe even higher

Patience and taking your time will always offer better results

See thats when supersets come in handy while ur resting u train some other muscle group that u planned to train on that day while the other is resting. Its time efficient

100%. My friend I started training always tries to rush & have to KEEP telling her you NEED TO REST. I max at 90 secs usually unless it's a Heavy lower body set

I wanna see this guy film his videos😂😂 just imagine him looking one way to the camera, switching shirts and reacting to himself😂😂

1 minute. Stop, drink, wait 40”. Next set

I've been seeing you for a while. but always without subscribing. but since you found this style and this style of shorts. 👌👍 Ps: That background music is your seal. don't change it.😅

Depends what you're lifting for. I usually go for more endurance lifting than strength, so I do a minute to 90 seconds usually.

I do a rest system based on the 'size' of the movement. Small, one muscle movements - 1:30-2 mins Medium, no stabilisers but larger - 2-2:30 mins Large, compound lifts - 3 minutes

2 minutes is the sweet spot for me.

Thank you, I really felt like I was wasting time but now I feel a little better🗿

I sometimes check my heart rate. If my pulse is still going crazy even after I felt like I rested for a minute or two, I'll wait another half minute just to be sure.

Rest as much as you feel you need to. Today you might rest for around a minute, and tomorrow you might need 3... The day after might be just 30 seconds. Hydration, sleep, diet. Lots of factors add up to optimal fitness. There's no blueprint you can follow for maximum efficiency, but you can hear your own body talking to you and you'll reach your goals in no time

Dude, your smile is so contagious😂 No one's gonna hate

the fact this reel came up to me when i was resting between sets

These videos are so unsettling. The second guy is definitely an escaped serial killer

I aim for 1 -2 minutes depending on intensity. Exceptionally long rests, up to 4 minutes, for big lifts like squats or deadlift.

1 thing is for sure 30 sec is the sweet spot for a monster pump

30 seconds for endurance 3 minutes for muscle 4-5 for strength

For people saying that’s too long, not only does it depend on the exercise, but also whether you’re going to actual failure every set or not.

You’re suppose to rest until your central nervous system calms down. So, until your breathing and heartbeat is back to relative normal pace. That’s if you want to maximize muscle growth and make every set count. So, after compound exercises you’ll want to rest longer but after isolation exercises you can rest shorter.

Rest when you feel like you can do a full set again at almost full strength

How to turn a 30 minute workout into an hour long workout.

Depends what I'm working out that day. I tend to rest longer when training legs, back, or chest. Everything else doesn't take me that long to recover.

The other dude really got my guy's Number😂😂😂

Deadlifts: can I have 20 more minutes

Resting 5 days between sets for optimal gains

You have an incredible voice.

Remember, you gotta earn those minutes boys. Keep reppin ‘til they start burnin.

until necessary, whether it is 30 seconds of rest or 15 minutes or 2 hours

More like Just as long as you need to feel fully recovered and ready for the next to set

I check my heart rate. If it’s zone 2, I’ll start

Disclaimer: Do not attempt this at a public gym

Rest as long as you need.

True, when i do 5x5 where most lifts are 75% to your max weight, i rest up to 5 mins in between sets. 😊 But for hypertrophy, i usually rest 2-3 mins max 😊

IF youre going for mass. If you are trying to tone or define your musculature, shorter rest periods or 1-2 mins with active rest are sometimes optimal. Know your goals.

It all depends what you do there and with what intensity. The higher the intensity the longer the rest period. I generally do 3 sets of 12 repetitions; arms / Core Legs/Core pairs. Rest until pulse is 100 then another set. I calculate the pulse from throat for 6 secs. More accurate than any heartbeat sensor.

Damn, for years I have been resting for 1 minute 30 seconds. Guess ill stretch it.

Gymbro locked eyes for the full 2-3 mins, essential for a solid rest.

it depends on the type of workout you’re going for

You dont build muscles while exercising. You build muscles during the recovery

Everything gansta until "enter kevdog" appears

People say the advice is confusing sometimes but I'm more confused by the prolonged eye contact at the gym.

Nice sir..for this at least got an idea of taking a rest in between sets

He is standing there and jist menacingly laughing 😂 man loved his content and as a beginner should i rest longer than 3 mins??

Big fax, though it gets a bit awkward when other people want to work in with you😅

thats sooo true. if i rest only 1 min or even less, i rly get fast exausted again and dont have the power to complete the set. but if i rest 2-3 min i have much more power and can put it full into the set.

Depends on the specific goal or adaptations you are seeking. But for hypertrophy, generally I do until I feel ready enough that I can hit the same number of reps for the next set. Depends on the exercise that I'm doing and intensity as well. 2-3 minutes is usually good enough, but sometimes it is better to not over think it and do what your body is telling you This is a good guideline, but make sure to tweak it and not hyperfocus on the time rested. You will get a better feel of your body as you continue working out.

I usually get my heartrate down about 100 before doing next set.

I think this one is less of an absolute than some of your other videos. For some things like squats or bench press, definitely rest for 2 or so minutes, but for curls, I like to take less time and really keep the intensity of the pump going. Crazy burn.

When your cardio, mind, and supporting muscles are ready, you're ready. If that's 45 seconds or 4-5 minutes, doesn't matter.

I started an online weight training class and the rests were between 45 seconds to 2 minutes. I just felt awkward waiting through those rest periods while others around me took only like 20-30 seconds. This videos makes me feel better about what I'm doing! Thanks! ❤

This completely confirms my theory that shirts hide the gains. With a shirt, he doesn't even lift. In a tank, lifting for 8 years.

Hydration is important but 2-3 mins is more

Bro 20 sec and im pomping iron again you know, you want to feel the pump bro feeling youre muscle grow, its amazing

Gonna need an explanation incoming on drinking water pls

I read manga between sets. The time flies by, i always question how 2 minutes is already over.

It makes me so happy that this is actually something that isn’t wrong. I felt guilty for taking 2-4 minute breaks in between sets, not anymore👏🔥

This definitely. If you're done with your set take a break longer than you think you need. You don't want to injure yourself. Working out is a marathon not a sprint.

Although bros smile is pretty, it sometimes keeps me up at night 🚡🐋

POV : people who don’t take rest 💀

Dude got the steeper build
