    Personally I just go when I'm ready unless I'm pressed for time. Might be 1 minute, might be 4-5 depending on the day.

    I feel your pain though when you become used to certain barbells and remembering grip widths, but honestly no way to tell unless you know the brands and models of barbells to see the specs.

    I wouldn't do it.

    If you're going for progressive overload and strength gain, I'd say it's too much.
