Design and methods： Fifteen karate men were chosen to participate in this study （age of 22/3 ± 2/1 years; height 172/6 ± 3/6 cm; weight 67/8 ± 5/2 kg）. All subjects performed 7 sessions of squat ＆ bench press with 48 h intervals. At the first session, IRM was measured. During the rest 6 sessions, athletes performed 4 times squat ＆ bench press with 90% （IRM） at each session, one of three different rest intervals （60, 180, 225 seconds） were used randomly between sets. Number of repetitions performed ＆ repetition sustainability between different rest intervals were recorded. Results with Boneferoni method showed that each three different rest intervals caused decline in repetitions in squat ＆bench press. The repetition decline was significant in the bench press and squat. Repetition sustainability in 225 s in compare to 60 ＆ 180 s was more significant. Repetition sustainability also was higher in 180 s in compare to 60 s. On basis of findings from this study, we can recommend for best performance in bench press ＆ squat, rest intervals of 225 s, to maintain consecutive repetitions.展开更多
