Strength: How Long Should You Rest Between Sets?
The rest you take between sets gives your muscles time to get their energy back for the next one.
2–3 minutes between sets
5+ for your heaviest lifts
Resting long enough means you can put real effort into every set, not just the first. If you're lifting close to your max, take 5 minutes or more if you have the time.
Remember
Rest long enough that your next set can be a good one.
