    Basically there is a thread about this and we discussed it some time ago as for me

    Compounds like squats/dedlifts I need 3-6 (maybe even more) minutes of rest after a heavy set. I don't see the value of one minute resting periods and forcing an injury because you are still weak from the last heavy session just a few minutes ago.
    For stuff that i can continue to do with lower weight i don't see a problem with higher reps and lighter weight training with 60-90 sec resting periods. It will hurt, burn and you may be able to cut some weight using shorter rest periods but I don't think you're going to get that much stronger. That type of training i would say is for body building
    I can train every muscle group 5 times a week if i take a 3 minute rest.... but back is the most tiring...
