Why Beginners Shouldn’t Ignore Rest Between Sets

I used to rush through my sets because I thought shorter rest meant a better workout 😭 But I’ve realised taking enough time to recover between sets actually helps me maintain better form and get more out of each exercise. Still figuring out the right balance instead of rushing just to finish early lol. How long do you guys usually rest between sets?

I usually take around 1 to 2 minutes depending on the exercise

Bro I used to rush every set and wonder why my strength was dropping 😭

Heavy compound lifts definitely need more recovery time

Sometimes I need 3 minutes just to mentally prepare for the next set lol

rest longer on leg day because those squats are no joke

Shorter rest periods are fine but not if your form starts getting messy

I usually wait until my breathing settles before starting again

Quality reps matter more than finishing your workout in record time fr 💪
