Everyoen tells me something diffrent about how long I should rest between sets and about stretching as a warm up or a cool down. What do you guys know?

You should rest until you feel that you can give as close to 100% into your next set, everyone is different. If you are still gasping from you last set, you probably shouldnt go yet. If you want to get into the technical aspect of it, your ATP levels dont come up to close to 100% until at least 3 minutes of rest. I typically take about 3 minutes in between sets. I also go to failure to, if you arent going to failure, you might not need as long.

Under a minute, 3 minutes is way to long IMO.

Your joking right? So when you squat you only take like 45 second rest. Well, like I said, everyone is different, but I think you must have some extreme recouperation abilities if you are able to perform with as close to 100% with less than a minute rest.
in any case, anybody who lifts heavy knows it's impossible to lift heavy and keep the same pace w/ that little rest, lolBooo

I'm a fan of big rests - about 2 minutes for the big muscle groups, and 1.5 for the smaller ones. I've heard people talk about 30-60second rests, but there's no way I could recover to bench/squat the same weight after 30 seconds.Free Newsletter and ******** Community : TrainAthome Fitness

so tell me, let's say you close-grip'd 300pds. do you expect to close-grip 300, take 30seconds and be able to repeat that performance?

You couldnt do 300 but take some weight off and youll get the desired # of reps or hit failure or whatever your doing that particular set. Some of you guys concentrate on weight, weight, weight you got to concentrate on the feel. If you are training for strength i can understand long rests if you are bodybuilding 2 mins is way to long IMO.

I disagree with that...the heavier you lift (and the bigger muscle group) it just makes sense to rest for longer. More stress equals more recovery time...common sense to me. If you do 300 and wait 45 seconds, and can't do it again, that doesn't make nearly as much sense as waiting 2-3 min and putting up the 300 again...

If you refer to a fighter who you've never met in real life as "my boy" as though their performance somehow reflects well on you for simply being a fan, you're a lame ass.

I know from personal experience that if I stretch between sets I can get more reps on subsequent sets then I could if I skipped the stretching
that's all I can tell yo for sure cus it's what I know from previous experience
however I have heard of studies where ATP was not fully restored before a certain amount of time I think 1 minute roughly?
and I can tell you my preference wich is for long rest perieds 3-5 minutes depending

it's about a breif rest period
that actually might have some use for hypertrophy but I sure as hell wouldn't use it for strength

Well, I would think that most bodybuilders would be interested in hypertrophy...

Actually your ATP stores are only up to about 75% at 1 minute, its the 3-5 minute range that its going to be as close to 100% as possible. So you are actually using the optimal rest period already.
i thought it was more like 95% is the most it reaches? (although that's pretty close to 100 )Booo

(this is one of the good things HIT spread)
at least I think it's a HIT based theory, might not of created it but I know they support it

it could be useful tho, if his CNS used less restraint due to the lower ATP levels it might actually alow him to recruit more muscle fibers to do the same job, so lowering weight isn't the key then according to that idea but well it's just an idea nothing like science to support it just something that comes to mind
also couldn't that type training be used to incrase ATP stores in the body?
by that I mean train the body to know increase the amount of ATP it stores in the muscle if it is used that way?
