There is a lot of talk about rest intervals these days, and recent studies show that longer is optimal for gains.
But here's the thing: aside from any π΄π΅πΆπ₯πΊ, π΅π¦πΉπ΅π£π°π°π¬, π°π³ π³π¦π΄π΅ πͺπ―π΅π¦π³π·π’π π’πΆπ΅π©π°π³πͺπ΅πΊ, π©π«ππππππ’π₯ππ² π’π¬ π€π’π§π . β£

For instance, resting longer might be more optimal, but asking someone to rest 3:00 after every exercise because they'll get better gains is NOT practical for most everyday athletes.

Do the math - 5 exercises x 3:00 of rest between sets x 5 sets each....
Unless you are a professional athlete getting paid to train, you probably don't have time for that.
This is one instance where practicality beats textbook recommendations. So, lean on this as a guide to make your programming more effective and the writing of it more efficient.
