I'm trying to put on a little weight and get stronger, and I'm not sure how much rest I should be taking in between sets. Today I did 21 in 38 minutes. I rarely work out for longer than 45 minutes.
In general, what is the optimal workout pace for bulking and strength training? I'm resting about a minute, going to failure, then going again. I can't go as heavy at that pace. Is this too close to a circuit training pace for my goals? |

Ok, sounds like I need to slow down. I started out doing p90x, and been resting for a 30-sec to 1 min between sets for as long as I can remember. I've always been good at leaning out, but never at gaining. Just trying to figure out what my body reacts best to. I'm eating more, as clean as possible, and slowly gaining weight (about a pound a week for the past month).
eta- thanks for the responses. |
