How Long Should You Rest Between Sets, and More Workout Questions Answered

I answer your questions about my 3-set backfilling workout strategy that makes progress as simple and straight forward as possible. I address topics like; how many sets should you do? How long should you rest? What's the best way to add reps? and more.

Hey Matt, what I like about your channel over others is you do body weight training and not weights aswell unlike other channels. Also you come across as genuinely positive and enthusiastic about your workouts and not fake or staged like those other channels.

This is genius! It already worked with my pull ups backfilling to 3X5. My question is, how did you come up with this strategy?

[claudio-wbx]

Great explanation on the last section. Thank you. Miss this kind of specificity in explanations about exercises.

[rogerirvemalm]

Ah. Now I find this. After you answered my question. I should have known that you already had covered it. Thank you.

Great information Matt! How would I go about getting your E book and your exercise journal? Thanks again for the great tips and strategies.

Most people I've worked with don't rest properly between sets. It kills me to see people drop off a set, then sit down and check facebook.
Hell.
No.
Breathe, accumulate and oxygen in the body and slow the heart rate to better facilitate.
Focus on the after sensations generated by the movement to see how your body responded to the last set and how you need to proceed for the next set.
Mobilize the limbs involved.
Breathe some more.
Mentally prep for the next set by cementing your awareness in your body and feeling the muscles you are about to use.
Then go get that next set.

hi man! I have a request could you please tell me how can I make the weighted pull ups routine when muy max on 1 rep is 25 kg (55lbs) and my goal is to make the 1 pull up with 42 kg (92lbs)?
ny weight is 60 kg(132lbs) and I am doing that because I wanna have good base for front lever and one arm pull up. I am asking you because in my opinion you are the best calisthenics channel on YouTube.

Had a question. As per C.C., Paul Wade recommends 2 warm up sets prior to work sets. You might have answered this in a past video, but do you follow the 2 warm-up set protocol? As always great topics covered. Figured to ask about the warm-up sets since you were talking about work sets.

Great video, I love your enthusiasm about fitness and training! I do have a question about your workouts.

Do you keep doing the same routine every day when it's time to workout that muscle group?

Should you change up your routine? If so how often?

How long should you rest between each excercises if your doing circuit training?

Thank you so much for making these videos! Keep up the amazing work!

Just pulled a calve, been following the RICE approach for the last 24 hours. How about doing a vid on proper injury treatment and recovery the weeks after? Surely you've gone through your fair share.

Hey Matt, if you get elbow pain during hanging exercises, what muscles should I concentrate putting tension in to relieve some of that stress in my elbow?

[krisztian_]

Great video, this strategy is really great for upper body workouts but do we apply it the same way for lower body? In my experience whenever I workouts legs reps are usually higher and it's really hard to reach max reps.

[didacticpirate]

Thanks for your quality content.
I believe to remember that longer time ago you uploaded a video where you recommended training an exercise in 5 sets á 5 reps.
Is there some difference when I should do 5x5 or the 3 set strategy? For example doing pullups I should do the 3 set strategy and doing more neurological exercises like Handstand I should do 5 sets?

[jameswoods]

Hey Matt, the irritation in my elbows from hanging usually after a long set of pull ups or leg raises. About a minute or more. Wanted to know what muscles to really concentrate putting tension in to help alleviate that stress

[jameswoods]

Hey Matt. Would you recommend a routine to rehab an elbow with tennis and golfer 's elbow?
