Previously in episode 229 we reviewed a review article on resistance training rest periods. Today we look at an individual study comparing 2 and 5 minute rest periods on long term strength and muscle size gains. The applications half of the episode focuses on how the body’s responsiveness to training becomes blunted over time. John always reviews the full-text of each study review on the show, but to see the abstract please go to:
