GoldenEagle Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 That depends on your training goals. Shorter for hypertrophy training.Longer for strength training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Pavlovic Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) That depends on your training goals. Shorter for hypertrophy training.Longer for strength training.My goal is maximal strenght. How long should rest last then ?Also i do for exemple 7 sets of 5 l-sit pullups and i rest 45-60 sec, if i rest more should i do more sets ?

Youtube video: CT Fletcher on rest while discussing bench press. (Bodybuilding vs. Powerlifting) Pay attention to what CT Fletcher says about effort.

GoldenEagle Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Correct. More exerted effort increase the amount of stress being placed upon the connective tissue rather than the muscle. It is the connective tissue that transfers the strength of your muscle to your skeleton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiTi Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 it takes about 3 minutes for the body to return 95% of the ATP to the used muscle so when training for maximal strength do each set until technical failure then rest about 3 minutes and then do your next set.also when training for strength you want to do high intensity and low volume that means you should do hard exercises for 3-5 reps for 5 sets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dies Irae Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I thought you never went to failure when you train for max strength. I also think one has to explain what exactly he means by "failure". Is "failure" complete and total failure, where you can't even budge and literally FAIL the rep, or stopping when you feel like you will fail the next rep and won't be able to complete it?

Is it also like this with ATP?the result of endurance training is an increase in work capacity in the absence of rest at low-medium intensity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
