Nice PR's bro!! 
how long is a "usual" rest period for you if you're not keeping track and want to get the most out of a lift?

Thanks for stopping by guys.
Jim: I hate being patient but I've recently read Beyond Brawn and it preaches a slow, conservative approach . . . I want to see whether that helps me or not, and from experience, adding 5-10 pounds a session works for maybe one week or two at best and then I stall. Someone smarter than me said, coax strength, don't force it.
Sgt: I'll rest around 4.5 - 5 minutes if I'm really pushing heavy sets and trying to eek out all the reps. Actually, I'm kind of hoping this cumulative fatigeu squatting allows me to shorten my rest periods a tad on my heavy sets. It's an experiment.

Wow... dang. Ok, I'll keep that in mind that it's OK to take my time then... lol... ADD is a pain in the ass.Protobuilder said:
Building up the anerobic compacity to push the sets faster is like HIIT cardio
(seems like that for me at least... I'm soaked the end of my workouts)Conditioning yourself to Sprints a few days a week would help greatly as long as it's not adding TOO much to what your already doing , ect.... an ideer to consider down the road

Nice job on the prs.....
Consider getting some microplates - imo they are crucial to Stuart's training philosophy

Thanks for stopping by.
I've got 1.25 pound plates, and I can also add a set of spring collars to add approx. one pound to the bar. They make decent microweights.
