Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Son Goku]

Lol @ not knowing any better. Um no, there are differences between the sexes and we don’t need as much rest

Should Women Really Train Differently to Men?



9 Reasons why women should not train like men




But you’re not a woman and wouldn’t know any better about our needs

Well I'm not a woman but I've trained enough to know longer rests are beneficial for pushing heavier weights.

You're not very stronk so you wouldn't know any better about stronk people's needs.

Again, I'm talking heavy weights and lower reps, hence why I specifically mentioned powerlifting.

It makes perfect sense for gals to have higher rep endurance since they usually have more slow twitch and less fast twitch muscle fibers.

Oh ok I get it but I’m ok think what I’m doing is fine . Here and there I might need a long rest but for the most part I just do a min and keep it moving .

Yeah my bad, wasn’t implying that anyone’s current method is wrong

 

[I AM WE ARE]

We need less rest regardless of what rep range or style of lifting.

As long as it works for you and your goals.

We just talking breh no beef .


Heavier I completely agree but for me with lighter days I can move through .

I think that’s the thing. It’s not about “need”, could it help you work heavier for more quality reps? That’s the other aspect the 3 minutes (according to him) allows for neural and muscular bounce back. So how are you working towards within one rep of fatigue in everyone working set without both. Might not be ideal for you to do so but that’s the idea.

I guess I read it that exact way. I didn't take it as him saying you need to rest 3 minutes. More so that try resting 3 minutes to give your body more time to recover for the next set. Like I said, I can see the theory in this. If I'm doing side laterals with my normal rest periods, I would use 30 lbs but with 3 minutes rest, i might be able to do 35-40 lbs. It doesn't sound unfessible that this could help increase growth/gains. I'm willing to give it a shot and see what the results are. Even if I don't see any positive results, it doesn't mean that there is no validity to what he is saying. It just might not work for me. Having an open mind to new ideas is how we advance as people.

I’m slowly folding it in. I’m down to 3 movements of working sets. Going to run this through the summer on a deficit and see how it goes.
