Rest Period
Something I want every guy in here to understand about training over 40:
Your rest periods are not just rest. They're part of the workout.
I keep it to 30–45 seconds max between sets. Not because some program says so. Because I know that once you let that window stretch to 3, 4, 5 minutes, you lose the synergy. You lose the pump. You lose the muscle connection you just spent 3 sets building.
Get in. Work the muscle. Move on. Get out.
You're not training to impress anyone. You're training to feel it, grow it, and protect it.
That's the approach. That's what we do.
What's your rest time between sets right now? Vote below, and drop a comment if you're going to change it this week.
Under 45 seconds (staying tight)
1–2 minutes (pretty focused)
3+ minutes (yeah... the phone gets me)
I don't track it
