    True. Time sAvings

    But heavy lifting requires rest to repeat. Strong lifts 5x5 concept says rest between 1-3 minutes between sets. And believe me, some days when you increase the weights...trying to get all sets to 5 reps. You may need every one of 3 minutes to get 5 reps

    All sets to 5 reps means increase 5 lb on that lift next session so rest is important!

    it's better to be bulking while doing this routine since you need the excess calories to gain muscle...
