How much rest should you take between each set? Does it matter how much rest

you should take between each set if you want to build muscle, lose body fat, maybe

you are training for athletic performance. rest between sets. I'm going

to talk about that in a whole lot more during this video.

Hi. I'm Skip La Cour and I am the world's leading MANformation expert. I help men

just like you get the most from their efforts both inside and outside of the

gym. Today, I want to talk about rest between sets. what is the perfect amount

of time to rest between each set each working set during your weight training

sessions it's really going to depend on your goals most men who come to me they

want to build muscle and they want to get the most out of their weight

training sessions so for you if your primary goal is to build muscle you want

to wait as much time as you need to get close to 100% of your strength back now

that may take two to three minutes so you want to take as much time as needed

to get as close to 100% of your strength back and at the same time you don't want

to lose your momentum your flow or certainly your level of focus and

concentration to build a muscle you have to progressively overload the muscle

with weight now form feel and execution more weight and maybe even more reps now

when I say 2 to 3 minutes that's generally the amount of time that is

going to take for most men to get as close to 100 percent of your strength

back it's really gonna depend on the exerciser certain body parts like legs

that may take more time to get all your strength back maybe if you have to rack

other weights and you don't have a training partner that may factor in to

how much time you'll need to rest between sets to get 100% of your

strength back but that's the general rule weight training is designed to

overload the muscle to stimulate growth to start the muscle building process now

many men get confused they want shorter rest periods and for a lot of reasons

now that could work for athletic performance if you want to improve your

athletic performance maybe you're in organized sports maybe you're not and

pushing the weight going from extras to exercise building up your

cardiovascular capability at the same time that could really help your

athletic performance now here's one thing a lot of men they want to have

shorter rest periods in between their weight training sets and their goal is

to lose body fat to speed up the fat loss process and so that's why they go

from set to set in a shorter period of time now I suggest that you spend your

time in the gym taxing the muscle I losing body fat although it may be

helped if you have a shorter rest periods in between each working set your

ability to burn fat during that period is minimal now I know that sounds a

little counterintuitive if you're pushing the weight and you're hurrying

between each set you would think that you're burning more calories and that

would really help you in your fat loss it may not be helping you as much as you

might think and if you don't wait enough time to get

your full strength back it could be taking away from your weight training

sessions and your goal to build that muscle so you want to rely on your diet

primarily to lose that body fat and maybe a little bit of cardio when you're

in the gym you want to really focus on taxing yourself lifting the most weight

humanly possible while keeping that form feel and execution getting five more

pounds one more rep and that is going to stimulate the muscle building process as

far as cardio and moving from set to set to set in a shorter period of time and I

get that heart rate up you want to save that fat loss strategy for the diet in

the cardio so if you want to build muscle in the shortest period of time

you want to rest as long as it takes to get as close to 100% of your strength

back for the next set while keeping your flow your momentum

and keeping your concentration and focus and usually that takes about two to

three minutes but that will depend on the particular body part and how much

racking and rear aking that you have to do if you liked this video make sure
