Rest Period Recommendations for Resistance Training

The podcast discusses the rest period recommendations for resistance training provided by the American College of Sports Medicine. For core exercises like squats and bench press, they recommend two to three minutes of rest between sets. However, strength recovery may not be complete within three minutes, potentially compromising performance. The ACSM suggests one to two minute rest periods for hypertrophy training and three to five minutes for strength and power training.
