I don't generally time my rest periods, maybe I should...

 

When I did the crunch/pushup superset yesterday I was probably waiting 60-90 sec between sets for all 8.

 

 

I'm DL'ing today... I probably wait 3-5 minutes between sets there depending on how heavy I go.  I'll try and keep track today.

I did a serious arm lifting workout last night. Whoa my arms and shoulders and feeling it today. I love it! I normally take 10 secs between each set and then a 90 sec break after all sets are done before moving on but I'm not pulling the weight you guys are.

Serious lower back pain the last two days.  I can barely go longer than 30 minutes sitting down before I have to stand up and walk around and stretch.  I'm deadlifting two times a week, but I think I will back off to just once a week after this pain subsides.  Until then, I guess I'll just grit my teeth and bear with it.  Cheers to altering your workout to avoid unnecessary stress on sensitive parts of your body; guess all those damn machines are good for something.

It has me waiting about 90 seconds.  Its brutal at this point.

 

That seems reasonable, I guess.  Do you find that you have to stretch your shoulders and triceps a lot?  I would try and stretch regardless in between reps.  Loosening up your muscles helps gives you more power through a larger range of motion.  Utilizing more of your muscle mass might help you to push through during those last sets.  That many pushups, though, within that time period, wow.  I would just worry about doing them too fast and losing form, or worse, injuring yourself.  I did 200 today, but worked them in in between my regular routine; comes in handy when people want to be douches and not let you work in.

keep them loose with rotations... wouldn't recommend stretching between sets. muscles tend to lose strength after stretching
