3.50 seconds.

well i dont think there is one right answer.. everyone has their own philosophy
you have your 5 different goals
stabilization
endurance
strength
hypertrophy
power
each phase or type of training can help another

however if goal is mass
workloads of 70-85% with 8-12 reps with rest of 30 to 90 seconds yield the most hypertrophy changes in the body and hgh is secreted more during this type of training according to a couple studies.

If you mean 'sets' it depends on the weight. The heavier the weight (6-8 reps) the longer the rest. Some guys rest a full minute between sets.

I don't really time my rest periods between sets. These days I usually superset 2 different muscle groups back-to-back, with no rest at all. Then I'll pause for 1-2 minutes, maybe, and repeat.

Mainly, I just listen to my body (gets easier year after year)--I usually won't perform another set until I feel like I am ready to get something good out of it--and form has to be spot-on for me.

On squats I tend to take longer rest periods. 2 minutes minimum.
