How long should you rest between sets?

I rested 3-5 minutes when I lifted heavy. Now it's 30 seconds to 1 minute like Serge Nubret.

That's what the video advises if your goal is hypertrophy.

I usually train very fast......makes it intense as a bitch.........lighter weights feel real heavy very quickly.

I also go heavier on other days resting longer....I feel it`s best to mix things up.

In my old age I don't go heavy any more. Training fast makes up for it.

Depends on the goal

[MajorDomo]

30sec-1min rest these days. 15-20 reps

Saves the joints

I always go as heavy as I can for the reps I`m shooting for.........I never go below 6 reps anymore, and only go that low occaisionally.......gett ing old sux !!

I rest for about 3-4 minutes during core exercises like bench presses and a little less during isolation exercises later in the workout

[judochoke]

60-75 seconds for me. I wear a watch, and watch that second hand like a hawk. Have lifted like this for many years. Works for me at 70.

No more heavy weights, but i can do 225 for 8 sets of 6, with 60-75 seconds rest. Beats me to a living plup.

Getting old sucks.

I'm still resting from when I started this thread.

[Van_Bilderass]

I don't need a rest since I only do one set

But if I did I would rest however long it took to perform optimally. Not a big believer in making things more intense through minimal rest and making it more of an endurance workout. Mechanical tension, structural damage more important than mere "sweat."

But what's most important is doing something you enjoy or else you won't do it.

I think some like Dante Trudel aka Doggcrapp recommends like 15 reps for those a bit older, maybe over 40 year olds. For safety. I do think you can effectively build muscle with higher reps. Some say the important part is getting the high mechanical tension by going to failure. I don't think the failure point is the trigger per se as Mentzer thought but working in that approximate area is important.

[SF1900]

I rest 30 seconds to 1 minute and I’m one of the bigger guys here.

Exactly.

But if you rested 5 minutes you'd be even HUGER.

Like Bhanky.
