Rest between sets

Where

Exercise editor, Rest section, Rest between sets. With Single-Side on, it’s called Rest between rounds.

Options

On or off. 0 to 5:00, in 5-second steps.

Default

Off for a new exercise, unless you turn it on in Default Exercise Settings. Turning it on uses the exercise’s last rest length, or 1:00.

In a workout

A rest timer runs after every set except the last. When it ends, timed and tempo sets start on their own; plain rep sets wait for you. With no rest timer, a stopwatch counts up from your last set instead.

Shows when

When the exercise has 2 or more sets, or is in a superset.

Good to know

• Before a timed or tempo set, the end of rest becomes that set’s countdown, at its full length.
• With Single-Side on, this rest runs after both sides of a round. Between your left and right side, only Rest between sides runs, and with it off you go straight into the other side.
• Between two timed sets, rest on at 0:00 runs them back to back: the next set’s clock starts the moment the last one runs out, with no countdown. That’s how you build an EMOM. In a superset, it moves on to the next exercise. Skipping or stopping a set doesn’t start the next one.
• Maximum Rest in Settings, Exercise Settings turns the stopwatch red once that much time has passed since your last set, and notifies you. It’s on at 3:00 by default.
