How long do you wait inbetween sets? How important is timing your rests? I've done 3 minutes religiously since I've started.

Rip says even up to S E V E N minutes is still viable. Where's the line? 7 minutes? 15 minutes? 5 hours? Surely it makes a difference

I go with 3-5 minutes max.

I can sort of feel when I'm ready for another set without waiting too long, if I go too fast I risk blowing the last rep on my bench.

When it comes to squats I go a solid 5 minutes.
>>
i do 1 to 1.5 rests
>>
Until the fire inside me re-ignites and i can bust out 6-8 massive reps
>>
I feel like 90 percent of people will say a number between 1 minute and 5 minutes.

I also go for the 3 minute meme with the occasional shorter time if I'm feeling like a BIG GUY.
>>
5 Minutes for strenght sets (3x5)
3 Minutes for assistance/hypertrophy sets (3x10-12)

Alternatively: Listening to my body to know when I am ready for the next set.

Pretty good.
I go 3 mins between strength sets, 2 mins between assistance and hypertrophy.
No ad libbing though. Use a timer.

Is this what it takes to have a 1 pl8 squat?
>>

2 minutes starting from when I rerack. It helps to wear a watch.
>>
1 minute, tops.

I always get the feeling that im wasting time if I wait longer during a rest period.
