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. |
if you're on a machine, you don't need anything more than 3 mins

damn, y'all be repping 225lb bench for 10+ reps, that's definitely 3-5min rest territory. if you're popping it for 10+ reps, you're max is 295-315, that's top 1-2% of most gyms, that's some heavy ass weight.
gymflation got ppl thinking 3 plates is the new 2 plates
but at 225lbs, if I am doing 10+ reps on set 1, and take 90 seconds, set 2 is gonna be less than 3-5 reps, with 3.5-5 mins, you can pop maybe 8-9 reps
