    Default What little secret do you use in the gym?

    I cut my rest periods down to achieve a good pump.

    The opposite for strength. TUT (inc shorter rests as per your tip) of between 75-90 seconds per set is precisely the way to go for stimulation of muscle size and growth. It doesn't matter, for the most part, what that means reps wise although 8-12 works best as does a 3-5 set scheme.

    In my case, training for strength, 2-5 mins rest between the heavier sets (4-8 reps) allows muscle and (to a small degree) glycogen recovery. Ditto ATP synthesis. I also occasionally super set between one muscle group and another for the same reason (if I was a bodybuilder it'd be the same limb or muscle group and you still get TUT (time under tension).

    I can use the exact same exercises but a different tempo and far longer rest periods etc etc to produce a different result. I can also try to be faster and thus produce more power, per rep, as a conjunct to my strength training. Finally, you're more likely to see me cycle up and down weights on the bar wise through the year for peaks of maximum strength.

    Other small things which MAY have an effect in the long run vs others doing NONE of them over the same time period.

    1) Music - heavy metal, grind, etc
    2) Mental imagery - Arnold and his arms as mountains
    3) Colour (yep) - red has been shown to increase, moderately, aggression.
    4) Clothing (see 3) - used by Platz
    5) Intra drinks (inc BCAA). Research seems to be a bit 50/50 on this. But my gut says small differences in the long term add up
    6) Time of day (it's been studied)
    7) Overall time in the gym. A bodybuilder should be in between 45-mins and 75 minutes. Optimal as opposed to practical. For strength, with the rests etc, 90-120 mins.

    A few then for debate.

    I look on the ground to avoid any form of eye contact. Even the fat booty instructor that does the Zumba class
