60 seconds or 90 seconds rest is best for muscle growth ??

[charger69]

Hello BIG Guys !!

What is best ?? 1 minute or 1 minute and half for maximum muscle growth between each set ? ...


Cheers

There is no perfect answer. First of all, everyone is different and reacts differently.
There are other factors that have to be added into the equation like # of reps, time under tension, intensity, etc, etc.
I personally use both and even longer at times. Mix it up.
As a rule of thumb, I use the 1 minute when cutting and the 1 1/2 when bulking.
Note: I said as a rule of thumb, right now I am bulking and using 1 minute. You obviously will not be using the same weight at 1 minute as you do at 1 1/2 minutes.
If there were a perfect answer than you would essentially have everyone doing the same.
Mix it up, your body tries to adjust and adapt. Changing your routine with rest period, reps, exercises, intensity, etc never lets your body reach equilibrium which is essential in muscle growth.

Guys who lift powerlifter style ( 3 sets 5 heavy reps, etc) go 2-3 minutes.

It's all about what, why, and where you want to go

I myself when doing high reps, (20+ rep sets) like 60 seconds of less on certain exersizes (chest movement for example) and high reps on arms I like 2 minute rests.

All in all, it's about what your cns is capable of. But don't baby it either, push yourself more and more each day.

Just don't be this guy. Or we will get you. Lol (seriously we will get you)
