minor change, big difference
i wasn’t watching my recovery times so much before, just mostly waiting for my heart rate to come down out of the rapid drop, then do another set. this was probably about (guessing) 1.5-2 minutes between sets. i got back from california and realized i just don’t have time for 2 hour workouts all the time, so i’ve cut my recoveries down to 30 seconds after all sets. i do 3-4 exercises per muscle or group, so every 3rd or 4th set i take a little longer recovery.
well the amount of weight i’m lifting is way down, naturally. but, i feel way more worked out at the end of it, i get much fuller pumps, and i feel as though i’m stimulating growth for the first time in a while.
i’m thinking this is what people mean when they talk about training for bulk rather than strength? i’ve noticed bodybuilders tend to take much shorter recoveries than powerlifters.
i’ll post results… thanks for listening ;D
