How much rest between sets??

Training for mass and strength are totally different. Obviously, bigger muscles lift bigger weight, but stimulating muscles to grow is different than stimulating them to get stronger. You do not HAVE TO train each set to failure, but you have to stimulate the muscle in a different way than before, forcing blood into the muscle.

As for the rest, growth sets should have 60 seconds or less, strength sets 2-4 minutes between.

I couldn't disagree with this statement more.

And I think rest between sets is a lot less crucial than many like to think.

i have the mindset that a stronger muscle is a bigger muscle. it is my opinion that less rest less weight and more rest and more weight are equal in gaining mass and strength
