How long should I rest between sets for muscle growth? I've heard opinions that rest between sets is important for muscle mass gain, but how long do I need for the best effect?

In general, resting between sets depends on your training intensity and goals. For hypertrophy, many people do advise resting for about 1-2 minutes. If strength is the goal, then resting can be longer, around 3-5 minutes. This allows the nervous system to recover so you can lift more weight. Either way, it's important to monitor your body so you don't overload your muscles. Sometimes the rest can be a little shorter or longer depending on how you feel in the gym.
