Direct answer: The rest between sets depends on exercise, effort and objective. A very short interval can reduce repetitions and control. Time should allow repeating the intended task, instead of serving only to maintain the sensation of intense training.
Observe the exercise
Movements that require many muscles and concentration may need a different organization of simple exercises with support. Load, number of repetitions and difficulty of the sets also enter the decision. A single interval for the entire record may not meet the needs of each movement.
Compare Performance
Register if the next sets loses many repetitions or if you start yet without regaining breath control. The coach can test a longer rest and observe the result. Keep the other similar conditions to find out if the change helped.
Organize available time
When the session is long, review the amount and selection of exercises before cutting all ranges. Changing compatible moves can be an option, as long as the execution remains adequate. The gym time needs to be combined with the plan from the start.
What to record and discuss
- Use a watch to know the real range.
- Write it down when the next sets gets much worse.
- Review the total duration of the session with the coach.
