The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of different rest interval (RI) lengths on metabolic responses to the bench press. Eight resistance-trained men performed 10 randomized protocols [five sets of bench press with 75 or 85% of 1RM for ten (10REP) and five repetitions (5REP), respectively, using different RI (30 s, 1, 2, 3, 5 min)]. Oxygen consumption (VO₂) was measured during exercise and for 30 min post exercise. For 30-s and 1-min RI: reductions (15–55%) in resistance and volume were observed (set 5 < 4 < 3 < 2 < 1). For 2-min RI: performance was maintained during the first two sets but was reduced by 8–29% during sets 3–5. For 3-min RI: a reduction was observed in volume where sets 4 and 5 were lower than sets 1–3 (∼21%). For 5-min RI: only a reduction in set 5 was observed. Mean VO₂ and ventilation (V _E) were progressively higher as RI length was shortened. VO …
