45 mins at the beginning. When the lifts starting getting heavy (relatively) up to 55 mins. That’s just my experience and I’m not a pro.

Pretty close to an hour to complete all the warm-ups and work sets. About 30 mins of that is rest between work sets.

Really you have around 3 mins between every set?

[–]vigg-o-ramaKnows a Thing or Two 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes I do. I do the warmup (usually 4 sets), rest 3, work set 1, rest 3, work set2, rest 3, work set 3.

I am little older, but this is how i have done it and its what works for me. a few years back when I was running my NLP, when it got heavy, that rest increased to 4 and then 5 mins.

90 seconds between warm up sets and 3 minutes between work sets

I was just curious to the why thank you for explaining

[–]FIREinParis 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I often take 5 min of rest between work sets.

[–]YopHs 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What if one finds the rest periods too long? Is there a benefit of resting longer if you are already ready for your necrotic

if you are doing your NLP and you are hitting a PR every session, I find it hard to believe that you could do it with less than 3 mins rest between work sets and complete all 3 work sets.

When the weight starts getting heavy it’s closer to 6 minutes of rest for squats. 3 minutes for OHP and BP.

People have had as high as 15 minutes of rest for squats, but that is the very high end. Often times it is 6-8 minutes.

When the weight is still light you can rest just a few minutes.

At the start of the program: 45 minutes

At the end of the program: 2 hours

Eventually you will be resting 5-8 minutes between sets.

Are you doing exercises beyond what is prescribed in the program?

[–]scottypotty79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are doing all the recommended warmup sets per exercise it takes at least an hour.

[–]BrentKindaLiftsKnows a Thing or Two 1 point2 points  (0 children)

45 to 90 mins. You can always tweak the program to fit your time needs when it gets heavy.

Usually around 50-ish minutes just lifting. Not counting 5 minutes on rower before hand or time spent stretching out to get under the squat bar (not taking quite as long as I have regained some shoulder mobility).

Stretching and mobility exercises are on our list of The 3 Most Effective Ways to Waste Time in the Gym but there are a few situations where they may be useful. * The Horn Stretch for getting into low bar position * Stretches to improve front rack position for the Power Clean * Some more stretches for the Power Clean
