[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I am going with 5 reps, is it really important to rest 2 minutes between each of the 4 sets? [b]I feel ready much sooner.[/b] [/quote] I read somewhere (Mark's Daily Apple? Nerd Fitness? Some website like those that talks about fitness and lifting.) that women actually can deal with less recovery time than is recommended for men. I thought that was pretty cool, and it rang true for my n of 1. Even when I lift heavy (only 5 reps), when a minute's rest is over I'm ready to go again. If I'm not lifting heavy (so, like, 10 reps), I'm recovered in less than a minute.[/quote]
