My longer term goal is to reach 225 pounds, continuing to reduce body fat ... if I do any clean bulking in the future, or gain any type of weight, I never want to go into my "fat" clothes ever again!
If I had to ask one question about fitness or the field of personal training, and get a reliable answer, this is the person on whom I'd count for the best answer.
To help offset an ankle sprain, I used SuperCissus.

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
I try to rest 60 seconds maximum, to keep the heartbeat elevated; but if I'm feeling totally winded or my heart is pounding too much, I don't get fanatical about it.

At present, I'm using a pyramid of 12 and 8 reps. With my work schedule, I have time for around 60-75 min 3 mornings a week, and this helps me fit in exercises + cardio, plus push myself for some gains.At present, I'm using a pyramid of 12 and 8 reps.
