Killing time in between sets?

[brazilian10]

What do you guys do in between sets?

After I annotate my notes I usually like to walk around especially on leg day until my rest time is up. Sometimes I will just sit and watch the gym tv.

Anyways this is just a curious topic, chime in if you like.

Random question but how long do you wait in between sets?
What is it recommended?

Depends on many things here are a few:

1. The training philosophy you subscribe to (intensity vs volume vs auto-regulation, etc).
2. The amount of load you are lifting. ie the heavier the load the longer the rest period will be for full recuperation.
3. Your training goals (strength, power, endurance, etc)

* keep in mind that muscle recovery takes place faster than CNS recovery, so while you may feel ready to go your CNS may not be. Here accurate timing is important, those extra 30sec can make the difference.
