when your heavy lifting with sets of like 5x5 how much time do you usually keep inbetween sets?

If by heavy you mean approximately 85% of the 1RM I wait +/-2 minutes.

"Don't rapid fire compound lifts but don't be lazy. 2-5 minutes is probably right with 5 minutes being needed after a very taxing effort."
From the program itself...:thumbup:

I don't think i could lift 85% of my max 5 times.

But I would wait about a minute.

Same.
You'll know when your body is ready, just don't slack off.

I wait maybe 3 minutes at the most, and I feel like a slacker just with that <_>
