Shouldn't you have started out with greater rest in between each set? I don't feel as though you are advanced enough to start with such a low resting period for this training.

Just my .02.

Oh, and what I meant by this was not that....iirc from reading his book correctly Mentzer did about that time rest. Might have been good for us...less freakish guys to take a little more rest in the beginning to see how it works out first.

Not that you don't know how to train or something.

My first 2 week i did wait 1 minute-30sec between my sets.... The goal is to get down to 15 seconds rest between sets.
Why would you need to take more time inbetween sets if you can do ur 3 rep max 1x10 sets with 20 seconds rest? Where is the gain?

I guess the question is, is it really your 1x10 max?
