It depends....
I think 30 sec is not long enough, if I am ready to go after 30 sec I did not go heavy enough on the previous set.

My rest time is probably 60-90 sec expect for deads, squats and ???

But im an old fart so it takes me time to recover...

Always 60 seconds for all exercises.

sometimes i don't even rest,just go straight onto the next set or excersise

Currently I'm using 60 second rest intervals. I typically use 90 second rest intervals when going heavier (When I was doing Westside for example). Also, I will sometimes wait up to 5 minutes between 1RM attempts.

On average about 90 seconds, but it really depends how and what I'm training. If I'm training in the 4 to 6 rep range, i'm putting up big weights and training closer to failure. Rest time after such sets is going to be in the 3 to 4 minute range. But that time flies by. Also with heavy squats and deads...forget about trying to go after 90 seconds again. I don't even have my wind back in that time frame.

Normally I rest between 30-60 sec between sets, depends on the exercise. If for example I'll do 3X8's -30sec. / 4X12's-60sec. Usually 2-3mins between last set and new exercise. Again, depends on the exercise.

Peace

I wait as long as it takes my training partner to get his set in, and then we add/change weight and go again.

depends on the exercise, if I am performing deadlifts, heavy bench, squat etc I rest for 90 secs if isolation exercies 45 secs
