    2 minutes is fine only use 3 minutes on stuff like bench presses (4 for squats and 5 for deadlifts that assuming you go to failure of course) in my opinion too many sets also. Back/bis/forearms appears to be far too big of a workout to me.
    To me there are 3 key areas that need to be in balance if you wish to get maximum results from your training.

    1) INTENSITY

    2) RECUPERATION

    3) NUTRITION

    DARE TO LIVE LIFE TO IT'S FULLEST...
    DARE TO PUSH LIFE TO IT'S LIMITS...
    DARE TO DREAM..
