Depends on what I'm training for...if it's to cut up I like to take about 30-45 seconds with arms and 60-90 seconds for larger bodyparts. If I'm looking to add strength and mass I try to keep it arouns 2 minutes and 3 minutes for squats.
Searching for the right balance...

Used to be 60-90 seconds, getting lazy, around 2 minutes sometimes now. Supposedly 60-90 is optimum for size (where the study came from I don't know).

Currently I'm lifting heavy, low strict reps with 2-3 minute rests.

i had read u should rest 3 to 5 minutes, less for smaller muscles and more for bigger muscles. u have to wait for some liquids or something, to leave from ur muscle(that rush to the muscle when u finish ur set) or else u wont have all the strength back. i was reading this in a magazine a along time ago. is there any truth to that?

Yup, it depends on what I'm doing, anywhere from 30 sec to 2-3 min.

Liquids would be blood, and they don't leave in a matter of 2-3 minutes, unless your talking about lactic acid buildup (the pain you feel from high reps).Originally posted by raider6969
