| Mar 21, 2018 at 2:08 | comment | added | Denis | @JustSnilloc I want to keep my strength as I lose weight, or at least try. So, if I reduce the time between sets I would be training with lower weight which is not what I want. Also, I don’t think reducing time between sets (and increasing intensity) is a good substitute for cardio. For example: if I 5x5 of bench press and I start with 315 lbs (a weight I am comfortable with) I cannot sustain this weight for other 4 sets. Fast twitch fibers require more time to replenish ATP so 1’ wouldn’t be enough. My goal is to shed fat, keep a decent amount of size and not loose too much strength. | |

That begs the question though, "Why?". You mention doing cardio every day except for legs, why not focus on intensity (0.5-1 minute of rest between sets, and at least getting close to failure) instead of length? That would save you a lot of time and get cardio in at the same time. I'm trying to understand what you're trying to accomplish. | |
