For young male wrestlers doing bench presses, taking 3 minutes of rest between sets helps maintain the total time the muscles are under load during the fifth set, compared to only 1 minute of rest.

For young male wrestlers doing bench presses, taking 3 minutes of rest between sets allows them to complete more total repetitions and feel less fatigued starting from the third set, compared to taking only 1 minute of rest.

When young male wrestlers do bench press exercises with only 1 minute of rest between sets, they perform fewer repetitions in later sets compared to when they rest for 3 minutes between sets.

For young male wrestlers doing bench presses, resting longer between sets becomes necessary to maintain strength output after the third set, because fatigue builds up to a point where shorter rests are no longer sufficient.

Among trained male wrestlers, taking 3 minutes of rest between bench press sets leads to greater mechanical output—such as more repetitions, higher power, and increased total work—in the later sets compared to taking only 1 minute of rest.

For trained male wrestlers doing bench presses with a heavy weight, resting for 3 minutes between sets helps maintain performance metrics like the number of reps, speed, and power output better than resting for only 1 minute during the last three sets.
