rest time

[chan]

is it important to have the sameamount of rest time between sets of any kind of weight training excercise(bench press, dumbell curls, deadlifts)

 

[Cynic]

Well, don't spend 10minutes BSing with your buddies, but yes. 60-120 secs between sets is a typical standard, depending on your goal.

Sometimes you may require more depending on the intensity of the exercise, for example with heavier squats and deadlifts I tend to rest quite a bit between sets.
