at first it may be tough, but your body will adapt and will be able to recover faster.. with that said.. with the 30-45 second rest period you are training for hypertrophy so it isnt so much a workout to work on your strength.. it has more to do with activating and fatiguing as many muscle fibers as you can.. that is how hypertrophy training works.
