Probably depends on slow twitch, fast twitch fibres being utilised differently? MPS being the same but different fibres being targetted more or less? like bodybuilders who tend to take shorter rest periods for hyperthrophy vs strongman who rest longer for power. study explored the effects of shorter vs longer rest periods on muscle growth. This is across the board a popular prescription, coming from many. 498K Posts - See Instagram photos and videos from musclegrowth hashtag. Sleep helps prevents muscle breakdown and promotes fat loss. Now although the researchers didn’t test why exactly this was the case, other research does provide some insight. Not sure if there is any difference in what type of muscle you build with this, if any difference. Traditionally, rest between sets for maximizing muscle hypertrophy has been 60-90 seconds. Therefore indicating that sleep seems to have a powerful effect on not only muscle recovery, growth, and retention but also fat loss. Very reassuring to see a scientific expert and a world championship winning beast and his trainer telling me the same thing! I cant say much for it yet but since it was written by Hafthor Bjornnson and his coach “Australian strength coach” i can only immagine these guys do know what they are talking about, and they agree with your ideas on the matter. To comment on this specific topic, i just started a program more focussed on a strongman way of training so more for actual brute power than aestethic hypertrophy and they also suggest rest periods of 2-3 minutes on accessory lifts and 3-5 for the big main lifts.
But this is a good progressive look at the data and may very well be considered in future Personal Training protocol, regarding skeletal muscle hypertrophy.Red a few of your articles and im very interested in what you have to say, definately on my watch list! So could 2-3 minute rest periods be the better option? Well, it is important to note that more research is needed… so let’s not all jump on a band wagon.
The 2-3 minute rest recommendation that we traditionally see with strength training showed in at least one study, to not only produce superior strength (to no surprise) but also superior muscle growth. Should We Even Worry About Rest Intervals Unless you need to. Interestingly, these studies may suggest that longer rest periods, like those prescribed for strength training, may show superior muscle hypertrophy results. As such, it seems like resting for 3-5 minutes between sets can boost muscle and strength gain.

Do the old recommendations work? YES! We are however more interested in if there is a different prescription that may be slightly superior.Ī few recent studies, many of which by an awesome Fitness Professional by the name of Brad Schoenfeld, dive into this topic. We are however interested in the progressive look at muscle hypertrophy and potentially new evidence supporting longer rest periods. Glycogen is the molecule that fuels activity. Growth days also are the time when our bodies replenish glycogen levels. If there are no growth days in your routine, continuous muscle breakdown may hinder your progress. Now to be perfectly clear… we are not saying that the 60-90 seconds doesn’t work. Strenuous workouts cause muscle breakdown, while rest allows our bodies to build it back up. At The Fitness Trainer Academy we too have suggested these intervals of rest. We wold undoubtedly expect, that if anyone were to ask a Personal Trainer the “optimal” rest between sets for muscle growth, they would spout this out. Why Well as discussed, myofibrillar hypertrophy. This is a fairly common recommendation and has made its way to mainstream training prescriptions. To get the most out of myofibrillar hypertrophy, you need to incorporate longer rest periods (2 - 5 minutes). The text books, such as The National Academy Of Sports Medicine (NASM), whom FTA is partnered with, would suggest 60-90 seconds of rest between sets of around 8-12 repetitions of work.
These rest periods are based on how the body produces the energy to perform work. To increase muscular endurance, the best rest period is 30 seconds or less between sets. To increase hypertrophy (muscle growth), the best rest period is 30-90 seconds between sets. Traditionally speaking, and consistently repeated through most mainstream Personal Trainer Certification text books and literature, is a specified rest period between sets for optimal muscle hypertrophy (growth). To increase strength and power, the best rest period is 2-5 minutes between sets. Have you been missing out on GAINS?!?! It turns out, more rest between sets may help you grow… (Skip to the video below for a quick explanation) You’ve Been Doing It Wrong! Actually, We May Have Been As Well… Some new evidence may suggest that our old recommendations or rest periods in regard to muscle hypertrophy (growth) may be off! This video explains it well, there are also links below to some of the evidence / studies.
