How much time between sets

justin_hyslop Posts: 3 Joined: 2003/03/06	2003/03/12, 08:46 AM Right now I am trying to gain muscle mass, In my flat bench I am doing three sets, the first 160lbs for 12 reps, 2nd set 170lbs for 10 reps and the 3rd 185lbs for 8 reps. I was wondering how much of a time space there should be between sets. If anyone could help me out here it would be greatly appreciated ---------------------------- LiL "J"

I rest about 30 seconds on ave but I have taken a few minutes if needed. -------------- IF YOU CAN STILL ITCH YOUR NOSE AFTER ARM DAY, GO DO ANOTHER SET!!!
