Do you time yourself between sets of resistance or interval training? If your program says to have 60 seconds rest between sets or 180 seconds rest, do you actually take this time or do you take a near enough approach?
Your program has been designed with a certain goal in mind and your rest between sets has been given as an integral element within the program. Different rest periods are going to allow for different levels of recovery of the energy system and the muscles, so don’t disregard your rest timing.
For the next 12 weeks try timing your rest periods and see if it makes an impact on your results.

This week I missed one of my scheduled training sessions. The reason is one, most big guys know about, helping a friend to move. It is just a fact of life, if you’re big, you’re first choice to help move heavy stuff. (^_^) The good thing about it, is that it does put into practice the strength that you have trained so hard to build up. You have to lift heavy stuff at awkward angles and body positions and have to maintain some nasty isometric contractions. It is a training session in itself. Admittedly not one that I want to do too often.
