I like that you did research but I feel it's not conclusive enough. I take short rests and lift heavy. I have seen the most growth and progress since I started HIT. I'm 46, those extra hormones and testosterone are exactly what I need. I love your videos. I just don't think a standard rest period for all exercises is a good idea. Some compounds require more rest and iso exercises require less. At least it is that way for me. As I have gotten older I have realized that what works for some may not work for others. Like easy bar cheat curls make my biceps explode but they don't work for my friends. There are a lot of exercises and methods that work for me but not for others and vise versa. Like I do full body 2-3 times a week. Push, Pull, Legs. In the same day. A 2-3 hour workout. I love it. I'm gaining muscle like crazy. I'm also getting fat because I eat like a hog. But Spring is here. Time to end the bulk and add 10k steps a day.

I'm now up to 2 minute rests. But three minute rests would really stretch out the session too much. This does sound plausible, so I guess the time management solution is to do superset, or even just fully integrate my upper body and lower body sessions. So do pull up, squat, pull up, squat, pull up, squat. With 3 minutes between each pull up, and three minutes between each squat. followed by incline press/RDL x3 etc.

I rest long enough to catch my breath and nerves system to recover which is usually about 1 to 2 minutes depending on how hard and heavy I'm training and what body part I am training. If I'm doing heavy free weight squats I'll rest 2 minutes but if I'm training arms, shoulders, calves or hamstrings it's 1 minute rest for me. Resting longer than 3 minutes my body starts to cool down and I'll lose my pump.

Now after watching this video the people who just sit on the bench or machines can now have a reason to be on their phone for over 10 minutes. Unless you're powerlifting maximumize weight on the bench, squats and deadlifts going as heavy as you can, resting for 5 minutes is ridiculous, for strength and power it's ok but not when you're trying to build muscle.

I'll do a large muscle group set, rest for around a minute, do a small muscle group set (bis, tri, delt, Calves, etc, rest to get my normal breathing back, then go back to the compound lift. Works really well, can be more productive, and get out quicker. I log every workout. Making steady progress.

Resting this long between sets you'll be in the gym for hours. How do you solve for time constraits Can you make a video on how to work out faster for the different types of splits (upper/lower) (PPL) (full body)

Why don't you rest more than 5 min between sets these days.
Only and only because others can also train in the gym.
Do you go to the gym so that other people's muscles grow

Especially if im not doing cardio, i'd rather keep my heart rate up so i can have better endurance for other activities

They say don't count the reps but make the reps count, do the same with rest. Rest for as long as you need to between sets and continue when you feel like you're ready

Hope you like spending 2-3 hrs a session in the gym. Just going from 2. 5 to 1. 5 minutes can shorten a 2 hr session to 1 hr.

For some reason 60 seconds has become all the rage. Think it's people trying to turn lifting in hybrid lifting/cardio thing.
