How long should you rest between sets?
Is your primary goal to develop maximal strength? Maybe you training for maximal hypertrophy?
Or maybe you are trying to achieve better strength/endurance and to improve your overall conditioning level.
The reason that it is critical to clearly define your goals is that your rest periods between sets will be similar if you are trying to optimize for strength and/or hypertrophy, but they will be much shorter in duration if the goal is to optimize for strength/endurance and overall conditioning.
