You take 30 seconds to do a set of bench presses and 30 seconds to do a set of rows, followed by 60 seconds of rest. So you begin your second set of bench presses 90 seconds after you finished the first. But you were still lifting during a third of that time, so even though your muscles have had 90 seconds to recover, the rest of you gets just 60 seconds to recover from 60 seconds of work. That's the equivalent of high-intensity interval training -- good for fat loss, certainly, but not an optimal way to make your muscles bigger and stronger.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://forums.menshealth.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/855109121/m/1441055255"><DIV>Not let's say you're doing it Alwyn's way.
