Hypertrophy Training Rest Periods and Intervals
3:33:14 - 3:38:08 (04:53)
The optimal rest period for hypertrophy is between 30 to 90 seconds, while for exercises with 8 to 15 repetitions, rest periods may be shorted to 90 seconds or even as little as 30 seconds between sets.
Clips
Recent research, including studies by Brad Schoenfeld, have shown that the recommended 30-90 seconds of rest between sets for hypertrophy may not be necessary for moderate to newly trained individuals.

Summary
Recent research, including studies by Brad Schoenfeld, have shown that the recommended 30-90 seconds of rest between sets for hypertrophy may not be necessary for moderate to newly trained individuals. However, resting for longer periods can result in a lower metabolic challenge and requires either load or volume preservation.

The podcast discusses the benefits of different repetition ranges and rest periods in workout routines, such as how shortening rest periods to 90 seconds or less can increase metabolic stress.

Summary
The podcast discusses the benefits of different repetition ranges and rest periods in workout routines, such as how shortening rest periods to 90 seconds or less can increase metabolic stress. It also explores the effectiveness of doing high repetition work alongside higher loads versus separating the two into different workouts.

Summary
The approach to training depends on the goal one is trying to achieve. Lowering the load and rest intervals might work for someone trying to manage chaos while strength training, but for someone training for hypertrophy, hitting the total volume is key.
