Are you giving your muscles the best chance to grow? πŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈ Let's settle an age-old debateβ€”short rests or long breaks, which one builds MORE muscle?

Lars Anderson, polar explorer turned fitness advocate, is here to break it down in under 30 seconds (because who has time for fluff?).

Short rest periods under 90 seconds? They're your ticket to an epic pump and boosted growth hormone. But wait, those longer 3-minute rests? They let you lift heavier, pack in more volume, and target serious muscle growth.

So what's the secret recipe? MIX IT UP! πŸ’‘ Use short rests for isolations, long breaks for those heavy compound lifts, and watch your performance skyrocket.

Remember, there's no one-size-fits-allβ€”find your balance, challenge yourself smartly, and most importantly, enjoy the gains. You've got this! πŸ’ͺ✨

Lars Anderson sits confidently on a bench press bench in a bright, clean gym. He makes eye contact with the camera, lifting a hand gesture to emphasize his thought-provoking opening question about rest periods.
Are you wasting your time between sets? Short rest periods or long breaks - which one actually builds more muscle?

Lars transitions to a medium-close shot. He uses dynamic hand gesturesβ€”raising fingers to signal "90 seconds" when talking short rests, and spreading hands apart for "3 minutes" to compare long breaks.
Here’s the science: short rests under 90 seconds boost growth hormone and give you that amazing pump. But longer restsβ€”around 3 minutesβ€”let you push heavier weights for more total volume.

Lars leans forward with excitement, encouragingly delivering his practical conclusion. He combines hands as if mixing ideas, then ends on a thumbs-up with a confident smile.
The perfect approach? Mix both! Use shorter rests for isolation moves and longer breaks for your heavy compound lifts. You’ve got this!
