[JKurz1]

The rest between sets varies also. On deadlift or chest days it can be 20 minutes. Im in no rush, but I do have an amount of work I want to complete whenever I enter the gym. I give myself enough time until Im ready to max out. On days like arms and shoulders, Ill move pretty fast sometimes. Other times Ill take 2-3 minutes between sets. depending on how I feel.

I guess thats where we differ.... me and my training partner go right after each other.. and straight on to the next exercise. Usually we get everything done within an hour (unless the gym is crowded)

but like you said, it varies from person to person.... I also like the idea of 'building up a tolerance' to training... its an interesting idea.

As I said in another thread. The Beast has no peers!!
As for diet, it stays the same everyday. High protein,high carb, high calorie, and often high fat and sodium. TV dinners and chocolate milk make up the bulk of my diet, that is when Im not off eating human flesh. On the days where Im in the gym for a long time, I may have only a "Speed Stack" and a granola bar, then when I get out of the gym Ill binge. I try to get atleast my BW in protein everyday, I try to get more though, I dont limit myself. When budget limits me, I have no choice but to eat human flesh.

I used to train like this also. And still do from time to time, when I train with my uncle. For me, I got much better results training the way I am now, then a 45-60 min workout with very little rest between sets. Its all about finding what works for you though.

WB when you trained 12-15 rep range how long did you rest between sets?

That ones a little easier to answer!! I used to rest between 2-4 minutes Id say, for most of the time. When I trained with my uncle, which was on and off, the rest was minimal. As soon as one of us finished a set it was time to go again. For legs I usually took alot more rest time. And I cant say I stayed in the 12-15 rep range for any leg work aside from leg extentions and leg curls. I did mainly leg press and reps would go over 50 sometimes.I vomitted or dry heaved almost ever session and I would be crippled for the week, but my legs never got too much size. They got real dense mainly. For legs the rest could be 15 minutes between heavy sets.Any less and I would most likely vomit during the set. So 2-4 minutes for the bulk of my upper body work.

were you after mass or conditioning in those days bro? (or both)

Mainly size at that point. That was my main goal. I was always much stronger then my size would have me appear to be, so that wasnt as high a priority, I figured the extra strength would come with the size. Then later I fine tuned the routine to include training for both, with an emphasis on strength.
