Started gym last week and have a few questions:

1. How long is a good rest period during sets?
2. One of my fitness goals was to get my body fat under 10%, the trainer in the gym sudjested I cut out all carbs after 12 in the afternoon. Any truth to this?
3. The gym gave me a fitness program but SS seems simpler, stick to gym plan or use SS?
4. If im doing SS what is a good ab exersise to add?

Thanks

I tend to work in with someone so a couple of minutes at most

Nope, this is broscience. Lowering your carb intake across the day is an easy way to have a caloric deficit but his advice is pure crap.

Just do SS

Thanks,
I see a lot of people doing one set then another exersize before the next one, is that any good or just rest for like a minute?

Rest time depends on what kind of training you're doing.

Supersetting bodyweight exercises is awesome.

Quoted By:

for your diet, set out set amount of protein, generally 1g per lb of body weight. That only changes when your weight does, unless you are bulking like a motherfucker but you'd be cutting. Have your set protein amount, then set a fat amount and alter carbs depending on what you want to do. No carbs after midday is retarded but less carbs overall will see weight loss with appropriate exercise
