How long should you rest between sets? Drag the clock and watch your reps
How long should you rest between sets? For most beginners the answer is 2 to 3 minutes on big lifts and 1 to 2 minutes on small ones.
Drag the rest slider and watch how your reps hold up, or fall apart, across five sets. You will see why a very short rest quietly cuts your work, why more than three minutes adds little, and how to save time without losing sets.
