There has been a lot of talk lately about resting 4 to 5 minutes between sets. What do you think of this? Obviously aiming for hypertrophy.
What is the ideal rest time between each set?

I particularly find 5 minutes adequate for compound exercises.
I rest for as long as I need which is anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes typically. Some deadlift days are almost 10 minutes on the final sets though.
>5 min for heavy compound shit
>3.30 min for medium compound shit
>1.30-2.30 for isolation
if you are only resting 1 minute between sets or supersetting you are not lifting hard enough
imagine being out of breath from bicep curls
1-2 minutes
If you need more than that you are weak willed
The longer you rest the more stimulative each set will be, assuming you train hard.
Of course you can rest shorter & simply do one more set than if you rested long & the end result will be the same.
Additional benefit of resting longer than 2-3 minutes for bodybuilding is super small, arguably not worth it. Actually an ideal scenario would be to superset two things, resting a minute or two between them both so you're getting good rest but also being productive in the gym. I have a busy gym though so not an option for me.
It doesn't matter for hypertrophy. You could rest for 20 minutes or 1 minute, wouldn't matter.
I dont rest much because being surrounded makes me uncomfortable.
I dont care because I can lift my 5 rep max twice and then I take out 10kg and do 15 or so. Then 12, and finally 8.
I just do one rep and rest 20 min occupying the best rack, I'm huge so what dyels are going to do about it?
No rest, CrossFit style.

>As a general rule, rest periods should last at least 2 minutes when performing multi-joint exercises. Shorter rest periods (60-90 secs) can be employed for single-joint and certain machine-based exercises. Optimal rest interval duration would also be influenced by the set end point, as longer rest intervals are likely needed when sets are performed to muscular failure.
If you're not panting, you can go finish your next set immediately. Rest when you're out of breath.
I rest until im ready. if 10 minutes is what it takes then so be it
Compounds - 3 mins
Iso's - 90 secs
Wtf Eddie Murphy got jacked
2 minutes for me. idk usually works where i’m not completely fresh from last set so i have to fight for the last couple reps, love it.
I rest anywhere from 5-10 minutes between sets depending how hard I go. If I'm doing heavy singles or doubles it's definitely closer to the 10 min mark.
you’re definitely fat as fuck
Compund- 3Min
Isolation- 2Min
For bodybuilding, anymore is for power shitting
