Bodybuilding Tip: How Long to Rest Between Sets to Build Muscle

[Doo0ne]

For me i need 2-4 mins. Otherwise my reps on the next set drop off way too much.

[MadWeiner]

I got pretty good results when I used to do 6 sets of 6 with 30 seconds rest.

But I do like resting one to two minutes as well.

[steven3662]

i rest 2 minutes thats perfect for me coz when i do a hevey set and i rest for 2 minutes and i do a comback and do a 2nd set iv built up an extra rep than the first set and begin to put more weight on for the 3rd set 2 minutes is perfect 4 minutes is abit two much for me coz iv colled down and the pump is shrinking lmao

[RhysDyer1]

When i do my set.. i feel awkward just sat there waiting for like 3 minutes lol

[seanhoman]

how are you resting 2-4 minutes between sets and keeping your workouts under 45 mins???

[RhysDyer1]

@seanhoman They only do like 12 sets

[seanhoman]

@RhysDyer1 Do you only do 12 also? and does this actually leave u exhausted at the end?

[RhysDyer1]

@seanhoman i do 16 sets... about 1-30/2/2-30 rest each set.. and man after my workout.. i am erected in the muscles i've been doing and i know and feel like I've done enough

[MrCedricski]

taking rest is my best quality

[mrfulgi]

This is a question that always bothered me, and I never knew the answer, no matter what people told me, or what I've read in the magazines, but for me, like the Hodge twins said, compound movements I feel what works for me is 2-3 minutes. Isolation movements is about 1 minute. That's what I found that works for me. Just my opinion though...

[SnapCity1]

60 - 90 seconds for hypertrophy.

[dogzer]

I want to build mass!

[Smolinski420]

[Brickkks]

[emericaordie15]

[Lordwarship]

[mrboyface]

[mrkobyjordan23]

[turelsut1]

[BlakeProductions7]

[luisfilipecaldeira]

[Smolinski420]

@luisfilipecaldeira same

[nafism6969]

dont fucking rest at all. dont rest between sets, dont rest between excercises, just bada bing badda boom motherfucker.



[socomkilla91]

you should rest about 15 seconds per set lol

nice

[healthyandyoung]

i used to do that and when i started resting for a shorter time is when i started getting results. 30-45 seconds and thats high weight low rep. and no it doesnt wear me out i have more energy because my heart rate is still up from the previous set and my muscles are able to do that easily without giving out.

[brocktaker]

@healthyandyoung yes and your muscle is killing u too

[Sergiosios]

How much rest do you recomment between workout days?

[BaSeLiNee]

Thanks a lot, good advice. I usually rest abbout 90 minutes but I will probably start resting 'bout double that time now.

[liver0y]

These guys do some work!!! GOOD ADVICE!!

[youlossy]

is that they guy from cleavland cartoon

[StrongItalianGuy123]

Thanks for the tips they help

[secutorclaudius]

though i'm no trainer, if u start eating more and lifting between, say, 5-10 rep range u should see results in both strength and size. once in a while maybe have a heavy day (3-5 REPS), but not everyday. bodybuilders eat like crazy and take supps cause they wanna get big. powerlifters and olympic lifters need 2 get as strong as possible but usually need to stay in a wgt category. do a combo of both, in my opinion.

[mnoy91]

6 to 12 reps isnt that more strenght? or how ever you spell it lol i hear high reps for muscle growth, but low reps is more power and strength gains, but if you do high reps for muscle growth you wont get stronger right?

[secutorclaudius]

@mnoy91 i work out more like a powerlifter, heavy weight, low reps. heavy to me is between 1-5 reps (on the big lifts, of course, not curls or what not). if u eat a lot and take supps, then by all means train more like a bodybuilder (8-12 reps). heavy work made me stronger and bigger without taking anything or eating all day.

[mnoy91]

@secutorclaudius my main goal is to get real strong but also increase in muscle mass, what u think i should do? eat maintainence level of calories or just like 200 more? and what sbout reps?

[mnoy91]

i heard if you rest about more then 2 mins to build muscle you will lose the pump and then you wont gain muscle? because your having too much rest is that true? thanks :) my goal is to get stronger and bigger

[irishswag50]

@mnoy91 the pump isn't what gains muscle

[mnoy91]

@irishswag50 so does that mean i can rest for 5 mins? cause when i rest 2 to 3 mins i drop heaps of reps

[Moodyz3]

I sort of loose my pump when i rest in big intervals! I just see my arteries a bit relaxed than when resting in shorter intervals. Is that okay?

[pyro69man]

dude, jus take some crack and some jack3d or cellucor c4 about 40 secs before ur workout and u won't need no rest

[cirethgr8]

I guess I'm screwing up then. I do 3 sets of 15 reps (flt ben. press) @ 135lbs with only 1 minute of rest.

[123torpe]

WHAT R UR NAMES MAN ?? I REALLY WANNA KNOW U KNOW !

[archedperson]

wouldn't it cool your body if you rest for too long? then you need to warm up more? prone to injury? or it's all bs

[Disturbed4282]

kevin died from 1:30-2:00..or whichever one is on the left

[TeenagedBodyBuilder]

" Dont be strict with your restin time guys just dont rest 10 fucking minutes between sets" hahahah

[Taffytrunks]

just took 2 scoops of jack3d, im so freakin high i dont even know where to start, think ill go sprinting

[sssnnnyyy]

@Taffytrunks lmao

[thefirstonesitting]

okay bash them all you want, but everyone is different, they OBVIOUSLY have gotten very good results from what they practice in the gym, take their opinion - or dont. no need to hate though we're all in it to win it.

[Frosty539018]

Yea I've always gotten about 3 to 4 minutes rest between my benching sets. It takes a lot outta me so I take adequate time before starting my next one.

[amed1381]

very good

[Calozpo]

4minutes break between sets, it will take like 2 hours in the gym which you guys said you shoulnt be more than 45-50 min in the gym lifting

[DumbAmericans2011]

@Calozpo do your math dude!

[Night0wll]

@Calozpo not every work out, squats might be 4 but not leg curls or extensions...lol...i rest 3min on ave for my fist two exercise and the last 1 or 2 exer are alot faster due to smaller body parts and less weight...

[madzyadzy07]

@Calozpo well that math doesn't make sense.

[tapmasterflex]

@Calozpo Your math is horrible.

[Xsuilz]

LOL ive been resting for 1min max....

[theek2008100]

@Xsuilz ever done really heavy squats? i bet you not able to perform those properly again after just 1 minute of rest

[TheLocalNut]

4 minute rest? i dont need a lunch break between each set.... ha jk

[orochimaruisugly]

Fellas fellas! Resting 60-90 seconds is fine wtf are you talking about.

[aksampras]

Wassaap erebody

[anteup100]

I will think of this, thanks :D

[dchavex]

@Geertwildersforever i couldnt agree moree man xD

[fightboxing4545]

@Geertwildersforever then youre not working out for mass gains, your routine must go a little something like this... 4 sets of 20 reps for 10 work outs, when it should go like this... 2 sets of 5-7 reps for 5-6 work outs

[Liamcardtricks]

@Geertwildersforever then rest 2

[SOULJAJOE010]

@Geertwildersforever lol ikr, if i did 10 sets the rest in total would be 40 mins rofl, so they must be doing 3 sets in that bish

[23birdwalk]

how much do these guys weigh.i would like 2c them gain maybe 10lbs.just 2c them have proof,not that there're wrong.good onfo tho,im not hatin

[DATfatWHORE]
