Rest Between Sets

[meco24]

What's the best amount of time to rest between sets?

I'm working with medium intensity between the 6-10 rep range.

I'm sure it varies from person to person based on individual recovery times, intensity, # of reps, and preferences. I just want to get a general idea.

I rest until I feel ready to go hard again. I usually want everything to be intense, so this can vary greatly.

I rest however much time is required for me to be able to do my next set. Could be 30 seconds. Could be ten minutes. Usually three to five minutes.
