Rest Breaks

In 5 years of being on forums I have never used the ignore button before, what a brilliant idea.

To the OP, has your question been answered succesfully?
 
C'mon PTC, it's not that bad....

It was a simple discussion. The amount I've learnt from internet discussions is invaluable; they're great. They stimulate thought processes you may not have had otherwise, they help you perfect what you already thought was perfect; without a doubt I've learnt most when proven wrong.

You've made contradicting statements regarding rest periods and I'm genuinely interested in the reasoning behind it. Perhaps there's info you've witheld that will clarify it completely? If not, maybe I've given you something to think about?

Either way, no need to cut up rough over it, it's just a discussion.

Disappointing POV you've got there. Personally I'd like to think of it as discussion opposed to an argument. Secondly, if you re-read my previous post you'll see I'm more concerned with what I can learn.

Each to their own I guess.

Cheers...
 
thanks for all your replies. and for the entertaining detour the thread took.
it seems that most people aren't that concerned with rest breaks and resume their set when they feel ready. which it what i expected.
i'm the same when it comes to strength sets but i like to shorten the rest for lifts with 8-12 reps, i feel it fatigues the muscle more which is the idea of thoes exercises.
thanks
 
sometimes i have to take a longer break if someone drops their guts and clears the gym while they are doing squat jerks

You serious you were at the gym and someone spewed everywhere?
 
Seriously Bluey............who else.

I've never met anyone with so little control, he continuously farts with all the girls around, generally while lifting, but last night he was between sets when he erupted, with all the girls sitting outside.

Have I mentioned he cant get a date lol
 
cant say im surprised.
What is he eating (or not eating?) that makes him explode like that?

i still piss myself remembering Dave benching and you letting go in his face :D
