Arnold's body building bible that you should take 2-5 minutes in between sets to maximize your lifts.
It's usually 2-3 minutes for me. Unless it's DC training then it's 30 seconds.

To the OP pic...
If I needed them, I would ask. I never need that light of weight though

I go heavy on weight and rest with pretty much everything but cables. I use machines for high reps. Pretty much the only time I go lower with weight is when I need control for a concentrate movement. I do these DB curls kind of like Arnold press where I rotate going down/up. Ridiculously good for cutting biceps. Things like that I'll go lighter but for most everything I take > 2 minute rests.

Same here. I figured the 4-5 minute breaks were needed for the type of weight those guys push.

I went from 185 lbs. to 245 lbs. using that workout regiment. Of course, I started eating right too.
And that took a while, huh?
How long have you been at 245? If you gained 60lbs of muscle mass you aren't quickly gaining much more with that workout (or any) unless you're eating a frick ton. Slow progressional gains from here on out.

A while now. I don't really have a desire to get bigger. I just push myself to get stronger. Sure, it would be nice to have 25 inch arms, but 19-20 inch arms aren't small.

19-20 is big for 245 lbs

Then that's cool. Good on you, man. I guess rest time is relevant to what you're trying to do.
I used to do circuits and gained a lot of strength that way but my bench kind of plateaued at 265. Was 185 at the time and gaining weight was my priority. I started focusing more on mass and less on endurance. I run a bunch for that.
Whatever works for you.

That's me in the OP. I downvoted.

So how much rest should you have?
If you are on a strength program you should rest at least until your breathing has returned to normal on all sets. On work sets I believe you should rest at least 2 minutes.

I'd take a pic of him and post it in a message board
