There are 4 main goals that people have when they start training, some people only have one whilst others might have 3 or even all 4. Would the fact that they were resting longer between sets make their workout less intense? I’d argue that no, it doesn’t. For example if you performed 3 sets of 6 reps on the bench press with a 60kg weight would you be more intense than someone performing 3 sets of 6 reps using 90kg? Obviously not, the other person is performing the same amount of sets and reps as you but with a heavier weight. HIIT or High Intensity Interval Training is probably most responsible for this the idea that rest periods should be very short to keep your intensity high makes it seem obvious that being intense means small resting periods.īut this isn’t always the case. I think that the main problem with the whole ‘how long should you rest’ debate is people’s perception of what intensity means. Whilst group three are probably the least fun at parties … they are at least training correctly. There are three types of people in the gym those who try to rest as little as possible between sets, those who spend 8 minutes chatting between every set with their buddies and those who are nerdy enough to have worked out exactly how much rest they are supposed to take.
