How many minutes do you normally rest between your heavy work sets?

How many minutes do you normally rest between your heavy work sets?
I do 4-6 minutes depending on how I feel and how heavy it is, but sometimes people get annoyed with me in the gym.

    As long as I need or feel like but I go to a small strength warehouse gym in the industrial area so there's basically always more open racks than there are people lifting

      based, sounds like a good place to train
      i go to a commercial gym so it's more crowded

      I would say ignore people. I was the big guy so no one got annoyed.
      3-5 minutes on squats, same with deads.
      bp/ohp is 1-3 minutes, isolations are less unless I go 100% out, then 1-3 minutes.

      sounds reasonable, my accessories have low rest times, but frick, i need to spend some more time recovering for my higher intensity compounds lifts

        I will say cardio improvement/fat loss does help recovery a little. At least for squats

    2 minutes mostly. Longer rest would be slightly better but I can't justify the time cost.

      heavy compound lifts done to absolute failure require decent amounts of rest

    2 minutes because I don't have that long to train anymore. I reckon it's probably better to lose a few reps per set than lose half my sets entirely because I run out of time. I'd rest 3-5 minutes in an ideal world.
