    I take 4 minutes in between my heaviest sets (usually consisting of 2 - 3 sets per workout) and 2 1/2 - 3 minutes on the rest.

    Apparently newbies to the forum can't post links. If you Google "5/3/1 pdf" and "Beyond 5/3/1 pdf" you'll get both programs. I would go with the second, which the creator (Jim Wendler) wrote as a...
