A Recent Study on MPS Showing The Benefit of Longer Rest

Now, I’ve always been a longer rest guy, so definitely tickles my bias. That said, I found some rather interesting things to consider. (1-min vs. 5-min rests)

We all know that longer rest will lead to more volume. However, we also know there’s a diminishing return on volume to MPS beyond a certain point. So it actually gave me a bit of a “wtf?” moment when seeing that even though the longer rest group was able to do ~13% more volume, they got a ~76% higher MPS response.

Wondering what the hell exactly is going on here, biologically.

I used to extend my gym sessions to about 2-3 hours because of longer rest periods. It's the best way to train for me specifically

Only reason for low rest periods is if you're on a cut and want to work on that cardio. I've done low rest periods before as well about 60 seconds before next set. It works but I prefer longer rest periods
Anyway about to hit the gym so longer rest periods are my go to

The study seems to show a difference in the short term but over 24 hours the way i read it, there didn’t seem to be much of a difference.
