(less for smaller muscle groups, more for bigger muscle groups) Knee wrapped heavy back squats 8-12 minutes between sets. (cause some of that time is spent working your ass off to wrap the knees) Explosive jumping, gymnastics, etc. 4 minutes between sets (a set would be 2-3 minutes of off and on skill work) High rep bodybuilding isolation work 2-3 minutes between sets. High rep bodybuilding compound work 3-4 minutes between sets.
