Can someone explain why the amount of time you rest between sets impacts how much muscle it puts on?

Can someone explain why the amount of time you rest between sets impacts how much muscle it puts on? Why doesn’t taking an hour between sets put on as much muscle as a minute between sets when you’re lifting the same amount of weight the same amount of times?

    metabolite build up called metabolic stress

  2. 4 months ago
    Anonymous

    When working out your job is to fatigue and tear the muscle as much as possible for maximum strength and size growth without going overboard into the "injury" territory.
    An hour between sets does not provide enough stress, the optimal rest time is 3-4 minute in between each set.
    Remember - your goal is to train to failure doing negative reps.

    In your scenario it doesn’t make a difference because the same weight/reps are done. The point of a “ideal” rest is that performance capability is as little as possible impaired by the CNS, cardiovascular or respiratory system and thus near the maximum so you can put the maximum mechanical tension (=growth stimulus) on the muscle.
    I btw never rest longer than a minute for isolation exercises. 3-4 minutes really only for deadlift or squad and pores really hard set of leg press because the large amount of muscle acquired puts a lot of fatigue on CNS etc

      I started a new routine (picrel) in the new year and The big difference is I’m trying to minimize rest time between the isolation exercises. Im keeping it to a minute or minute and a half and it really is kicking my ass. For example I used to do 130 lbs overhead cable tricep extension 3x12+ not necessarily easy but wasn’t a problem. Today I did 120 lbs 3x12 and the second set I couldn’t get past 10 reps.

    longer rest means you'll manage to do more reps. shorter rest lets you do more sets per hour. You gotta find the sweet spot for you.

    Longer rest times allow more muscle fibers to rest long enough to theb fire off the next set mostly the fast twitch fibers which are the most important for muscle growth. If a fiber is not rested long enough it will not be able to fire and be recruited during the movement. Pretty sure this is in the sticky.

    > Why doesn’t taking an hour between sets put on as much muscle as a minute between sets when you’re lifting the same amount of weight the same amount of times

    It might do, or it might even put on more. It's rarely that simple.

    The best way to get muscle to grow is to use it, but each muscle group is actually different groups of fibers which have different activation thresholds. So a stronger signal for the nerve will activate more of the muscle. So if you have a set that is too easy, then there is still muscle power in reserve, so why do we need bigger ones?

    So the way to require that stronger signal is either to lift a heavy enough weight that this is required, or to exhaust the lower threshold units sufficiently that higher threshold units are required and you exercise more of the muscle. So having a short rest means you recover enough that you can actually move the weight, but not enough that it becomes "easy" again and can be done without using all of the muscle.

    Actually taking an hour between sets can put more muscle on, if the rest period allows you to not drop weight.
    The CNS and muscles need energy, rest periods are trying to maximize efficiency of time and movement.
    Five/ten minutes is usually sufficient to recover.
    However sometimes I've had to take 15 minute rest periods before because my body was that exhausted.
