For maximum strength, what is the minimum recommended rest period between sets?

30 seconds
1 minute
2 minutes
2-4 minutes

The correct answer is: 2-4 minutes

The minimum recommended rest period between sets for maximum strength is typically 2-4 minutes. Essentially, the longer the rest period, the greater the amount of time there is for muscle recovery and readiness for the next set. Therefore, options A, B, and C, which all have shorter rest periods, may not provide enough time for the muscles to fully recover and could potentially hinder strength gains. While a 30 second or 1 minute rest period may be sufficient for some forms of exercise, such as endurance training, for maximum strength it is generally recommended to take longer rest periods.
