Shorter rest for hypertrophy, and longer rest for max effort/power lifting?

I'm trying to find the boundry between a rest period so short that is is practically cardio, and where hypertrophy begins.


15-30 seconds cardio specific.

1-2 minutes for hypertrophy specific.

3-4 minutes for strength specific.

do 1 set of 20-30 reps on bench to failure.......and see if you can do it again in 30 seconds

You could try some circuit training if you want to gain the benefits of cardio from your weight training workout.

If you want to do straight sets, then 30 seconds will probably do the trick. Just make sure you leave quite a few reps in the tank so you can regenerate enough ATP to perform the subsequent sets at the same, or nearly the same, level as your last set.
