Rest Between Sets You will sweat more by not resting between warmup sets. But the point is to warmup your body. After your last warmup set, you should rest for a few minutes before doing your first work set. This ensures that you are properly recovered before starting the heavy work.
How do you calculate reserve reps?
So if you stop all of your sets at like six reps in reserve. You just don't get very good hypertrophy relative to if you go closer the good news is is that anything between three reps in reserve.
What does RIR 3 mean?
RIR means “Reps in Reserve” = how many more reps could you do before failure (technical failure OR actually missing a lift). For our purposes, we use RIR in reference to technical failure. 3+ RIR (or RPE < 7) = More than 3 Reps In Reserve = more than 3 repetitions away from (technical) failure.

Repetitions In Reserve
Repetitions In Reserve (RIR) RIR is a tool used to describe how challenging an exercise set was by estimating how many reps you believe were left before reaching absolute fatigue. E.g. 10 BB back squats – RIR 2 would represent a weight you can only do 2 more reps with. RIR 0 – maximal effort. RIR 1 – 1 repetition left.
