The Push Pull Legs workouts have a rest-time between sets of 2 minutes. Similar workouts in the past had 20-30 seconds. Are the 2 min not a bit excessively, like muscles getting cold, long?
From my long gone gym days I remember the rule of thumb to rest about as long as the set took. So you go with a buddy and while he lifts you rest.
On top of that, there are 5 excercises times 4 sets + 2min rest between excercises = 48 minutes for the workout, mostly waiting for time to go by. That is double Darebee standard length.
Edit:
What is the target here? Myofibril hypertrophy?
But then the reps should be lower (3-5) and the weights close to the limit (~80% 1RM).
