    It depends. I always try to keep it as short as possible. It ends up between 2 and 4 minutes. If I want to push, it's just another variable to play with. 4 minutes always works for heavier work

    I rest for however long it takes me to do a single set. It makes the workout a lot more intense.

      My gym coach used to make me and one other kid do that. He was trying to force us into joining the football team who actually got breaks and rest, but instead created two non-athlete students who put his prized pupils to shame

    3-5 minutes for compounds, 1-3 minutes for accessories. Sometimes I go through my full routine with 1 minute between sets at a lower weight just to mix it up.

    Depends... I do 5x5. On deload weeks I'll rest 1-1.5 mins. By week 7 I'm giving myself 3 minutes between the 4th and 5th set of each exercise.

    I don't. I do calf raises, dead hangs and seated curls while I catch my breath and recover.

    I've always done 1 minute for everything but deads and squats and now I'm concerned that I'm not working hard enough.
