No, I don’t think so. If you rest shorter, you won’t be able to complete the same reps with the same weight – you’ll be weaker. So the added sets would be “sup-optimal” sets. The way to optimize overload is taking 2-3 minute rest periods.

A 3-day full body routine (3 xtimes a week)
A 5-day split

I personally only use the 3-day full body plan and I recommend everyone to start on that cycle.

Good on ya. There is still so much be info out there. Every time, like clockwork at the gym there are 3 dudes that do their super sets with no rest and well…..wasted time. Supersets dumb, no rest, dumber, they look the same as I’ve seen them for 6 months. No growth, dumberererer.

Cheer bro!

Quick question. Do you think the increase in gains could be attributed to the more reps completed? The video stated that those that rested longer potentially completed more reps. So what if I tested for 1 min but added another set?

There’s one question I’d like to ask, I always have been skeptical about using Whey protein as many researches have suggested that it affects and pressurizes our kidneys.
I know its important but can you give your thoughts and any reasearch background concerning effects of whey protein on kidneys?
Thank you.
