This is not about videos just posted here but instead about videos posted on line in general. When doing a drop set, rest pause set or super, tri or giant set.... How much time in between do you allow before they become separate sets to you? I OFTEN see drop, super, tri and REAL often rest pause sets where people are resting 30-45- even over a min between drops, pauses or exs and to ME PERSONALLY I consider 30 seconds to be the cut off. If you rest 30 or more seconds between sets to me it becomes a different set. When I am in a groove and the gym is empty I will often rest a minute or less between every ex my whole work out (after I'm warm)... Does that mean my workout is one long "giant set"? I often see people talk about rest pause sets and they will say something like
"I went 11-9-6 on my rest pause" and I am always thinking that they either never hit failure OR they rested over a minute between "pauses". Hell if I did just say 340 on the bench for 11....even after a 2 minute rest I would be hard pressed to get 7-8 on a second set. This is the reason why I never understood why when people do rest pause they count "total reps" and not just reps from the first "set". When I train rest pause I only use the first set as a guide... If I got stronger on THAT set then I progressed. It just seems to easy to just take a cpl more seconds on your rest periods and get maybe an extra rep or two overall and consider that "getting stronger".
I am not telling anyone else how to train or how long to rest....I'm just wondering how long it has to be for anyone else before they consider it to be a different set all together. I am also not claiming it would really make a difference as far as growth is concerned cause I doubt it would.... May be more accurate when it comes to tracking progress or intensity though.
Peace
