I don't know what mass/strength is as opposed to strenght/mass.
I have no idea what your talking about here. But for a be/inter lifter there are no distinctions between the two.

As for the time period, I was reffering to something I read prob. 10+ years ago. So I was a little off, peronsally I dont think I've ever rested over 2min, and I've had no problem adding wt to the bar, or my frame.

If you goal is strength and mass then there are going to be parts of your training day that you rest longer..at least 3 or more minutes and other parts where the rest period may be shorter depending on the exercise and how much muscle comes into play.
I gotta say i dont agree with that either, perhaps if your a power lifter doing max excersion lifts you would need more then 3 minutes. But why would you need more then 2 on a working set? It would seem to reason if you do, then no matter how much you rest, your not going to recover much more, and then your really just working to heavy and you need to drop the wieght.

I agree i was off a bit with 90 seconds for strength purposes, but i dont see why you would need more then 2 or so minutes tops.
