I'm only looking at 2 exercises for the sake of simplicity
Instead of:
Squat 5x5 (with 3 minutes rest between every set)
Bench Press 5x5 (with 3 minutes rest between every set)
....
....
....
Doing this:
Squat 5 reps
-Bench press 5 reps
Squat 5 reps
-Bench press 5 reps
Squat 5 reps
-Bench Press 5 reps
Squat 5 Reps
-Bench Press 5 reps
Squat 5 Reps
Bench Press 5 reps
The same weight is used in both examples, but in the latter instead of walking around looking in the mirror taking a break for 3 minutes, I train something else.
This eliminates time doing nothing. Individual limbs still get rest, but the heartbeat stays up. During my squat I'm using totally different muscles than during my Bench.
Thoughts, opinions, ideas, comments?
