For each muscle group. Does it vary for you for each muscle group/lift? Do you time with accuracy? Do you gauge by your heart rate? Do you not bother (whenever you feel ready)?
Chest, Back, Legs, and Shoulders I stick to 2 minutes - Timed. Sometimes 2 1/2 for the big lifts like deads and squats.
Arms and calves 1 1/2 mins.
anywhere from 30sec to 3min. i to workout quick and intensely. lots of super sets.
1 for small groups and 3 for larger and heavy sets, maybe even 5 on heavy squats.
45 seconds to 2 minutes depending on which muscle group and intensity I'm trying to maintain.

as power lifters can take 3-5 minute breaks.
As compared to someone who is trying to tone up, a 60 second break.
Right now, for me. On compound movements, I take about 90 secs. on isolation movements, about 45-60 secs
I take about 3 mins on compound lifts.
60 secs
To the guys who take 60 - 90 seconds or less between sets, do you not find this affects your strength?
yes. its about intensity though.Quote:
