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

doesn't really matter. 30 sec to 1 min. try not to rest more than 90 seconds to keep yourself motivated
>>
research says you get maximal strength and size gains at 3 minutes

to increase your lifts, as much time as you like, and desu you can just go for strength and still cut to a low body fat and work abs while being strong instead of doing a meme bodybuilder routine built for people on roids

when you start getting into heavier territory (1/2/3/4) five minutes or more
>>
>>37959942
If you're going for strength, as much time as you need. I'd say a minimum of 2-3 minutes on working set and more if it helps. If you're going for hypertrophy, 60-90 seconds is usually sufficient.
>>
Doing a 5x5 routine, 3 mins between sets and 5-6 between exercises is usually enough.
>>
Back when I was only doing single reps on my one arm chin up I would take as much as 5 minutes of rest
>>
>>37959942
Enough that you feel ready to do the next set. Not so long that you cool down. 3-5 minutes is good. 10 is fine. 20 is probably too much.

Yeah, well once you actually start putting up big numbers, 90 seconds isn't going to cut it lol
>>
When you're ready
