More Muscle/Strength...Less Damage

a cat getting in some reps

For dynamic exercises, those in which you are moving in a repetitive motion, the session will be divided into reps and sets. Reps are the movement and sets are the clusters of movement. Between each set is a rest period. It’s recommended that this inter-set rest period is short 30 to 60 seconds when it comes to building muscle. For pure strength, these rest periods should be longer and beyond four minutes.

What’s interesting is that now I’m coming across information that suggests that longer periods of inter-set rest between sets could be beneficial as well for muscle growth.

One of the reasons I found quite interesting…

Strenuous muscular work does not build muscle. If it did, the hardest workers, particularly those who start in childhood, would be the biggest and strongest people. But the reverse is actually the case, because strenuous training and hard labour actually break down the muscular tissue.

We know that there are the rare cases of men who are able to train strenuously and show good physical development. But such persons are possessed of extraordinary powers of recuperation and they would get better results from more scientific methods of training. Some men are vitally strong enough to withstand several years of hard wear and tear on the organs, and it is these rare cases that are held up by advocates of strenuous training as proof of the efficacy of such training.

However, few people have the time or inclination for such unnatural methods, and it has been proven that by reasonable methods everyone is able to gain and maintain their full potentialities in health, strength and muscular development. I use the word maintain because only when a natural method is used can the training be continued throughout life. - Court Saldo

It’s all coming together.

Now…I’ll leave yall free folks with video because I promised someone with more cat stuff.
