22: Rest Periods Are Ruining Your Workouts?! Strength Pyramid Level 5

Most men rush their rest periods, cut their workouts short, or rely on old rules that no longer help them build strength.

In this episode, Coach Brian breaks down what rest periods actually do for your training and how to use them the right way so you can lift heavier, recover better, and stay consistent as a busy man in your 40s and 50s.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

Why short rest periods do not build more muscle
How rushing rest harms strength, especially for men over 40
The ideal way to judge when you’re rested and ready for your next set
When antagonist supersets can save time without hurting performance
Which exercises should never be supersetted together
How to structure efficient push–pull sessions that maintain strength
Why full-body lifts like squats and deadlifts need longer rest
How to balance rest periods with tight schedules so you still train effectively
