Nobody was riled up. A forum in which everyone agrees with everyone is a forum to avoid. Most people tend to agree with whatever they read once upon a time on bb.com...I tend to say something different which means I'm the one asked to back up what I say. Hey..somebody provide some backup on the 90 seconds isn't sigficant thing
and the idea that you nervous system and the phosphogen system doesn't play a role in your ability and how the lactic acid buildup doesn't effect how much volume you can do. I mean something other than "this is what I do". Or not.
I just tend to get a little irritated by the continual insistence that one and a half minutes is pretty much all you need, lol. Good lord that's a short rest period for "strength/mass". 80 to 85 percent by the way is pretty high intensity. Not that you need that phosphagen system or your cns recovery to lift a weight or anything...oh boy.
Nah, just rest as much as you needed. Much to big a deal being made about rest periods. It's long term chronic adapation to progressive overload you are looking for. Not a rest period formula. Just try to keep it in some type of consistent range but don't work in a bodybuilding range when your are on a strength
program.
The soreness will get better as you adapt but if it is too much you can do your squats lighter next time and then load again after that.
