| There seems to be two differnt thought processes that contradict each other on this subject.
1 is to say 'as little time between sets as possible', which would maximise strength & shock your muscles into growing, but others say if your muscles are still fatigued from your last set, you wont get as much time under tension, meaning the muscle wouldnt grow as well as taking the extra 30 seconds between sets and adding 10-20 seconds on to the lift, as research seems to indicate for maximum growth the muscle needs to be under tension between 30sec to 1min.
Some ppl swear by the hammering approach while others swear by time under tension approach, i think its a fine balance between the 2 and you have to know what your bodys capable of and which of the two works best for you. |
