    Achieving the MAXIMUM.

    Hey guys i have a quick question about form and technique.

    For Bench and squat, (mainly bench here, but squat is included)
    Are continous reps without much break inbetween each rep more effective than a short break in between each rep ? For example below:

    10 reps with 1 second rest between each rep.
    10 reps with 3 seconds rest between each rep.

    Which would achieve the best workout ?

    Thanks, ps2cho

    both will achieve a good workout. try both and mix it up. sometimes rest pause is the way to go. sometimes straight reps is the way to go.

    The best workout is one where you improve over your last workout. Either way is fine really. Just make sure you are progressing from previous workouts.
