TMC just finished reading a landmark study from a famed strength and conditioning researcher. (Will link to the article/research soon)

The main message from the research is that it appears intense training combined with shorter rest periods between sets is *OPTIMAL* for skeletal muscle gains. This is due to the hormonal environment resulting such as increased Lactic Acid and Growth Hormone.

This recent research stands in the face of long held beliefs that heavier weights and longer rest times in between sets were the “keys” to muscle growth.

The Muscle Couple hopes you see the writing between the lines here.

“REST PAUSE TRAINING”!!!!

*Intense Focused Lifting
*Short Rest Periods
*Progressive Overload Principles

Maybe it truly is the key to maximum physique alteration and improvement?

Even if you aren’t doing Rest Pause Training, we recommend this simple but potentially dramatic change.

Lower your weights by 15% and reduce your rest intervals between sets to 25-35 seconds only. Gradually increase your weights back to what you are lifting over a couple of weeks but keep rest intervals the same.

Tell us what happens and your thoughts after witnessing “change”.

We will link to the published research sometime this weekend.

Enjoy College Hoops Baby!
