Rest Intervals w/Heavy Lifting

[SprinterOne]

What kind of rest intervals do you guys use when lifting heavy (85%+ 1RM)? 3-5 minutes? More, less?

[SwoleCat]

Usually w/deads and squats I'll rest about 3 mins. to get some air!

~SC~

What about bench and power cleans? Same idea?

[gspot]

from what I nkow hypertrophy would be 1min 2 min tops, power lifting would be 3-5 for bench squat dead lift (basically same for power cleans) SwoleCat knows better though, I could be wrong.

3-5 min for strength.

[SprinterOne]

Cool, thanks. I am going for strength not hypertrophy.

Are you really asking what each of those mean, or are you subtly trying to say that they go hand in hand? I can't really tell, and don't want to make a total ass of myself, lol.

I would say whenever you get your wind back and the lactic acid burn goes then start the next set everyone will be somewhat different.

I disagree with this. Some kids haven't done cardio since the turn of the century.

waiting until they get their wind back could be way too long lol
