Broads: The Bold & Badass Fitness Podcast for Women

129. How Your Rest Periods Are Limiting Your Strength Gains

Episode Summary

Rest periods are one of the most ignored parts of training, and they’re often the reason you’re exhausted but not actually getting stronger. This episode of Broads is about removing the guesswork. We break down what rest periods do, why more sweat doesn’t equal better results, and how mismatching your rest to your goal can stall progress without you realizing it. If your lifts feel inconsistent, your workouts feel randomly hard or way too easy, or you’re spending forever in the gym without seeing results, your rest between sets might be the missing piece. That’s what this episode is all about.
