Do This One Thing to Be Stronger the Next Time You’re In the Gym

If you want to get stronger, like move up to the next kettlebell for your goblet squats, or add pounds to your deadlift, or even if you want to do more push ups in one set, this one thing will help you, rest more.

That’s the big secret tip. Take more time between rounds. You’ll recover more, your muscles will have had a chance to get ready for the next bout, and if they’re fresher, they feel better and can apply more force.

There are times when we don’t want you to rest, where we do want to build up fatigue and stress the system in a different capacity. What we’re referencing today is building strength, and an effective way to do that is to be properly recovered between sets.

If you feel like you could rest 2 minutes, and move up 10 pounds on your bench press, or squats, do it!
