It is if you are working with 60% of your 1rm
Its not if you are working with 80%+ of your 1rm, that requires a few more minutes.

It’s an individual thing based on your conditioning, effort, work load.
For me, I catch my breath…when breathing is under control I’m ready."A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

In between sets lately I've been measuring, cutting or welding re-bar. Each of those 3 things takes about 2 minutes.

In the 90s, I played chess between sets.

I'm a 2-3 min kind of guy.
Read a study that showed better gains resting 3 minutes in-between sets vs 1minute.
I usually start at 2 min. 3 if its really rough on me.

I tend to pyramid up in weight usually, so the only real breaks I take are when i'm changing plates for the next set, then I go again. I used to rest between sets but I found i'd start to lose a bit of my active rhythm, and the next set seemed to become more difficult. I like to keep it movin.

I rest until my heartrate drops below 100 for compounds, which I do first. Below 110 for accessories. Been doing this for about a year and it's worked well.
