Quote
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of short rest intervals normally associated with hypertrophy-type training versus long rest intervals traditionally used in strength-type training on muscular adaptations in a cohort of young, experienced lifters. Twenty-one young resistance-trained men were randomly assigned to either a group that performed a resistance training (RT) program with 1-minute rest intervals (SHORT) or a group that employed 3-minute rest intervals (LONG). All other RT variables were held constant. The study period lasted 8 weeks with subjects performing 3 total body workouts a week comprised of 3 sets of 8-12 repetition maximum (RM) of 7 different exercises per session. Testing was carried out pre- and post-study for muscle strength (1RM bench press and back squat), muscle endurance (50% 1RM bench press to failure), and muscle thickness of the elbow flexors, triceps brachii, and quadriceps femoris via ultrasound imaging. Maximal strength was significantly greater for both 1RM squat and bench press for LONG compared to SHORT. Muscle thickness was significantly greater for LONG compared to SHORT in the anterior thigh and a trend for greater increases was noted in the triceps brachii,(p = 0.06) as well. Both groups saw significant increases in local upper body muscle endurance with no significant differences noted between groups. The present study provides evidence that longer rest periods promote greater increases in muscle strength and hypertrophy in young resistance-trained men.

food for thought.

^^ I definitely prefer 3min rests over 1min rests. I used to do them all the time. The thing is, my workouts just take too damn long that way. Also I stalled for a while, so I switched it up. I still work up to a top heavy set (3-5 reps) in the squat and bench though.

I'll switch back to 3min rests at some point.



Edit: Perhaps I can get the best of both worlds and superset exercises... Pull ups with lateral raises. Rows with ab pulldowns. And use 3min rests. Shit I gotta try that soon. It'll be pretty annoying with people jumping in between my exercises though.

Going to try a new de-loading scheme. This should keep me fresh for a long time. It'll keep me from burning out. Rather than deload for a whole week every 4th week, I'll do a rotating de-load. Example:

Week 1
Mon - A de-load
Tue - B
Thu - A
Fri - B

Week 2
Mon - A
Tue - B de-load
Thu - A
Fri - B

Week 3
Mon - A
Tue - B
Thu - A de-load
Fri - B

Week 4
Mon - A
Tue - B
Thu - A
Fri - B de-load

If you follow just Workout A, this gives the pattern of 4 on, 1 de-load, 2 on, 1 de-load, and repeat.

At the end of the cycle, I'll have a de-load on my last workout of the week (friday), then the weekend off, and then a de-load on the first workout of the week (monday). that should definitely be enough to recoup on a larger macrocycle level.

This week I'm back in full force. Starting with a de-load day though. As I posted earlier, I'm doing a rotating de-load where I cut down on the volume of a workout. I think this will help.

Damn I'm starting to look good again. I look more cut because I have my pump back from lifting. I don't mean the pump during the workout. I mean the week-long pump you get when you lift consistently. I have a vein on my lower abs showing again.
