Resting Between Sets

 

 

Why?

 

The body needs recovery time when doing muscle building sets.

(Exceptions: If you are lifting as cardio then resting doesn't make much sense.)

 Between sets during most workouts the rule has always been from 1.5 to 3 minutes of rest. This is not etched in stone and to each his own. Now however there is study on what to do while resting between sets.

Bonus: Without a clock to measure your resting time remember that most songs lost 3- 3.5 minutes long. Listen to at least half of it and get back on it.
