Repost @drjaquish Rest between sets. 5-minute rest periods roughly doubled the amount of protein synthesis compared to 1-minute rest periods. Further, a 2021 study demonstrated larger outputs based on 8 min rest times indicating an even greater stimulus for growth. Because of these two studies I’m going to give this a try and let you guys know how it goes, also there’s no danger to this so you might as well try it too. - McKendry, J., Pérez‐López, A., McLeod, M., Luo, D., Dent, J.
