Methods Twenty-two recreationally trained men were randomly assigned to a CI group n 11 1 years kg 180 cm or a DI group n 11 22 years kg cm . Subjects in both groups supplemented with CR the only dillerence between groups was the rest interval instituted between sets the CI group used 2 minutes rest intervals between sets and exercises for the entire 8-weeks of training while the DI group started with a 2 minute rest interval the lirst two weeks alter which the rest interval between sets was decreased 15 seconds per week . 2 minutes decreasing to 30 seconds between sets . Pre- and post-intervention maximal strength for the free weight back squat and bench press exercises and isokinetic peak torque were assessed for the knee extensors and flexors. Additionally muscle cross-sectional area CSA of the right thigh and upper arm was measured using magnetic resonance imaging. Results Both groups demonstrated significant increases in back squat and bench press maximal strength knee extensor and flexor isokinetic peak torque and upper arm and right thigh CSA from pre- to
