@levit7 In the comment I originally replied to, rest time was a major factor of overall quality of sets so context is relevant but ok. Intensity is actually literally defined as the difficulty of the work you are doing and short rest times is one of many ways to define the difficulty. Mayo...

@levit7 Context isn’t different. %1RM isn’t the only way to manipulate intensity of an exercise. The %1RM or RPE is often what people refer to by saying intensity since it’s a measurement of intensity, but rest time reduction or inflation can change the intensity of an exercise just as much as...

@dawn16 Intensity is not just about what %1RM is being used. Reducing the rest time is one way to increase intensity as is adding reps, increasing sets, increasing weights, slower reps, etc. My friend used 45-1 minute rest times and made great progress and he worked each bodypart once per week...

@cherish616 That's what I figured, but I had to be absolutely sure. My personal take on it, based on what I have read, seen, experienced, etc, is that unless you are staying at the same weight on purpose (like on a cut) then you will always run into that metaphorical wall of fatigue that...

@cherish616 What do you mean early mesocycles? This question is too long of a sentence to really get a grasp of.

@n7340 Excellent point, I was going to comment with the same conclusion of activation not equating to output. 1RM's for both types of bench pressing will be quite different I assume.
