Stopwatches
I will see one out of twenty or thirty people in the gym use stopwatches. Usually, guys will do some sets of the bench press, sit down for a while, and go back to benching. Usually, they’ll wait at least a couple of minutes. I’ve observed that the longer the rest interval, the bigger the belly. I’ve also observed the opposite – the shorter the rest intervals, the smaller the belly. Why is this? Shorter rest intervals promote lactic acid buildup which is a potent fat killer. How short or long should your rest intervals be for fat loss? For some exercises, you don’t need any rest in-between like leg extensions and triceps pressdowns. For going between squats and chin-ups, you might wait for 60 seconds if you still want a fat-burning effect. The point is, if your going to train for fat loss, use shorter rest intervals and time yourself.
