i personally train instinctively... i'll go when i feel ready... it varies from set to set, and day to day and muscle group to muscle group... always a shock to the system...

but as a rule, i don't conversate between sets or waste time, so it's almost always under 2 min...


same here!
 
Yeah usually enouph time to spot whomever I'm lifting with and go get a drink of water and I'm ready to go for another set.. So I'm guessing 1.5 to 2 minutes between sets.. If I'm lifting one of the Big Threes for strenth then I'm gonna take maybe 2-3 minute rest but never more that 3 minutes. DON'T WANNA BE "THAT GUY" IN THE GYM.. ya know..
