In this episode of the LIFT podcast, we’re kicking off the Back to Basics mini-series, diving into the essential, yet often misunderstood, fundamentals of gym training. Starting with rest times, Coach Harry explains why they’re not as simple as they seem. He breaks down the science of optimal rest intervals between sets, covering how exercise type, individual recovery rates, and mental readiness all play a role. With a clear three-step framework, you’ll learn how to maximize your performance and results by mastering rest times.

Key Takeaway:
Rest times aren’t one-size-fits-all. Use the three-step framework—monitor your heart rate, ensure your target muscle is ready, and be mentally prepared—to tailor your rest for each exercise. By doing this, you’ll ensure every set is as effective as possible, no matter your fitness level.
