rest periods

Just looking to see how long everybody's rest periods between sets are.

2 minutes for Squats, deadlifts and Bench press

30 seconds to 1 minute for everything else.

90-120 seconds

Ive been doing 50 seconds for a while now and think i am going to increase it to 2 minutes so i can start using more weight.

I also do power sets on bench, squat, and deadlift though where my rest times are around 5 minutes.

for bigger muscles i go anywhere from 2-5 minutes

30-90 seconds depending on the rep range

2 minutes

Current: 18, 5'11", 194

bench:290 squat:405 deadlift:420

3 minutes for squats, deads, bench, and rows.

About 10 minutes between powercleans, but I only do 1 rep of themand then do some pullups.

i try to keep it within 90-120 seconds, but sometimes when im exhausted like bench press for example ill rest up to 3 mins

5 minutes for compounds and 2 minutes for isolations.

Lifts: Bench-285, ATG Squat-485, Deadlift-495

As long as needed. I have rest times of 10 minutes sometimes.

i try and let my rest period reflect what exercise and weight i  am doing at the time, same as most of you,unfortunately sometimes my workout time is limited so...less rest time and i do notice a difference in the way that with normal rest i get the last 10,on days where my time is limited not always!!!!!!big exercises 3 mins, iso's 90 seconds(ish)

if you're not continually learning then you're listening to the wrong people!!

Just out of curiosity coldfire, do you train more for strength or mass?

If so, do you think routines that you have supported, such as Mark Rippetoe's is great for hyperthropy or is it decent for muscle mass as well?

I'm thinking of giving Rippetoe a shot this August, and will pm you some questions if you don't mind.
 
Back to the original topic, my rest time depends: if I lift heavy (for me), I would rest for >2 minutes. If I lift moderate weights, I rest for about 45-60 seconds.
