I was talking about within the workout. In general I mean rest between sets and exercises. But I thought you were only dong one set of each as far as attempting a rep max of some type so I was primarily talking about between exercises. Of course between warmup sets it will be quicker but even then it would be better to rest than to start breathing all heavy and stuff.

How long have your been resting between the different exercises? If you haven't been really timing it I will say that most people are resting a shorter period than what they thing. Like if you use a stop watch what you though was five minutes turns out to be more like three.

To put it simpy, if I did a 3RM on squat and then was going to do a RM on deads, I'd be resting probably 5 minutes.

That is not to say if, for instance your were doing a series of triples, double, singles, whatever with certain rest between sets you couldn't then reduce those rest periods on subsequent workouts in order to get stronger. But that is a different subject.

Of course you should rest between workouts, haha.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
