Think resting between sets means you're not working hard enough? Think again. 👇
Rest is an important part of your workout. It gives your muscles and cardiovascular system time to recover so you can perform your next set properly.
Getting enough rest can help you:
💪 Maintain good technique
🏋️ Lift with better quality
🔁 Perform more repetitions
⚡ Maintain your intensity
📈 Get more from your training
How much you need depends on what you're doing.
Generally:
🔥 Shorter rest → Muscular endurance & conditioning
🏋️ Moderate rest → Muscle growth & general strength
💪 Longer rest → Maximum strength & heavy lifting
There's no need to rush your rest just because you're in the gym. Give yourself enough time to be ready for the next set.
