    I keep to 60 seconds to 90 seconds between sets. I prefer my intensity to be high and remain high. I concentrate on trying to catch my breath then I make sure my music is where I want it to return to my mental zone. By that time I'm slapping myself in the face, taunting myself in the mirror, and returning to the iron.

    Haha Been there brother. I invoke a similar mental pump during my heavy chest day. Nothing beats kicking up the aggression and crushing the set.

    Heck yeah! I take more time pumping myself up for squats, deads, bench press, etc than it takes me to perform the set. I figured I get about 40 seconds to dial it in after breathing and lightly stretching and flexing.
