How Long To Wait Between Sets?

Ahhhhhhhhh…so your set is over and you don’t know if that gives you enough time to take a leisurely stroll to the water fountain clear across the other side of the gym, though there’s one even closer by and you have a water bottle with you that’s still full of water.

Well, the answer to how long to wait between sets depends mostly on your goal!¹Other factors to consider include training experience, the type of exercise being performed, the order you’re performing your exercises, and the intensity of your workout.

How To Save Money On Protein Powder

You’re broke.¹Excuse me, I meant you’re “financially unrealized”, a euphemism that softens the stigma of your economic condition by looking toward the future to suggest that what you’re suffering in the here and now isn’t poverty but just a simple case of not being rich yet.

The reason?²You mean, other than the crappy job you’re overqualified for but are stuck working because you can’t find a job in the field you accrued a load of student debt for because (1) the economy’s bad, (2) the labor market is oversaturated and you don’t stand out enough to differentiate yourself from everybody else, and (3) you lack the drive to start your own business rather than depending on someone else for employment?

Well, what’s making you broke is the protein powder that you’re not only buying when you can meet your protein needs with food but are also paying more for than you probably should!³Aargh, I did it again! I meant to use “financially unrealized” instead of being so politically incorrect by using the term “broke” to ground you in the economic present and remind you that you’re always going to be closer to impoverishment than the patrician interests you align yourself with on the off-chance that you’ll defy the odds and be as rich as them someday. My apologies!
