Weekly Q+A: Are your rest periods actually doing anything?
Leave your questions for Weekly Q+A below, but here's my response to this question one of you asked when completing the workouts in Metabolism Foundations: "Can I superset during my rest period?" If you're short on time, yes, you can superset. But, that rest period should feel almost necessary. Like your body genuinely needed that 2 minutes to be ready for the next set. If you're bouncing straight into the next exercise with energy to spare, that's a sign to go up in weight. The rest period isn't because we feel like making you stay at the gym longer. Try this: next session, keep the rest. And if it feels easy, try the next weight up. You might surprise yourself at what you're actually capable of! Drop your questions below!
