Description: The Greek God Program: thinkeatlift.com/ggp The Path to your Goal Physique: thinkeatlift.com/path Eric Helms on Rest Periods: Eric's book: muscleandstrengthpyramids.com Børge Fagerli's website: borgefagerli.com Music by LAKEY INSPIRED: soundcloud.com/lakeyinspired Summary: Full rest periods (2-3 minutes) are superior for strength and muscle gains because they allow you to accumulate more heavy volume (you don't lose reps because of fatigue). Short rest periods (1-2 minutes) can be used for accessory movements because smaller muscle groups recover faster (you don't lose reps because of fatigue). Very short rest periods can be used in some training styles such as Rest-Pause Training (you still accumulate efficient volume this way).
