Rich working on his overhead squats

There will be no group class on Thursday night at 6pm. There will also be no group classes this Friday. I will post workouts for the day that can be done anywhere. If you would like you can post your results on the blog.

What determines how much rest you should take in between sets. If your goal is to lose body fat then the best protocol is to take 1 min or less of rest between sets. Weight lifting performed with short rest causes a large amount of growth hormone to be released due to the high amounts of lactic acid that are released. When fat loss is your goal you should make an effort to trigger a release of growth hormone because it is the best way to help you get leaner.
