I'm asking here on mfp because I already asked my coach and he says it still fits the recommended rest interval for hypertrophy but I've read otherwise.

I figured. I actually just wanted to increase the weight instead while sticking to a 30-60s interval. I don't think it was meant to be used as a pre-fatigue tactic because the AIPA row was my only back exercise for thay day.

My coach said that time under tension with the 15s rest intervals would still be stimulus enough. He chose that over my recommendation of sticking to a 30s rest but increasing the weight of the dumbbells.

My coach prescribed me to do AIPA rows, 4 sets of 12 with 10lbs and 15s rest. With 30s though I find it really easy to lift it. With 15s, there's just some challenge but it's not particularly difficult. Will this still give me optimal stimulus for hypertrophy?

What do you mean?

Thanks! So probably I can get away with my monday and wednesday schedule but not the friday and saturday since it's two consecutive days.

I think I'm overthinking things. Haha! Will start eating at maintenance next week and see how things go. Thank you so much! What you said was very informative!

I was wondering, since you said that you don't recommend chasing a goal weight and I see people who have the same weight in their before and after pictures where they look much leaner in the latter, how is it really that they lose the body fat? Is it really just eating at maintenance and progressive strength training? I'm…

Thanks!

Thank you so much!

I already have deadlifts in my routine. Patience really is key. Thank you so much!

Thanks! I agree with giving it time. I do rows with dumbbells and lat pulldowns with cables. Is there anything else I can add or do differently?

Thank you!

Thank you so much!! I'll try working out more or try to get some walking in as well!

Thank you so much! Beginner here so I don't really know a lot. I just started working out around March this year. I haven't read much on how to do a recomp.
