There is no one-size-fits all rest time that applies to everyone. Everyone is different and a variety of factors such as state of health, age, genetics etc. all play a role into recovery times and most importantly, what are the individuals goals are.

My opinion on three to five minute rest times is that it's a bit excessive and that 90 seconds is the general sweet spot. If someone is resting at a machine wants to rest for three to five minutes, I just move on to something else.
