Yea it's so fast! But I actually really like it.
In any given workout I would say I rest 1-2 mins a few times with the rest being under 60 seconds. I would say well over 50% is less than 30 secs and many of that being about 10 seconds. I tend to do a lot of minimal rest sets for 1-2 exercises than have a break of about 60 secs. I love this way of training and once you get used to it I bet you do too. It's much more demanding but very rewarding. I don't necessarily mean bodybuilders but normal gym goers are just so slow. I see people do standard sets (not even hard) and rest for over 3 minutes... just seems like a waste. The only time you need 3 mins rest is if you pretty much just destroyed yourself with high rep squats etc.
Dev I may have said this to you in the past but you would always say about your slow caffeine metabolism due to your test and how you can't sleep. But I don't think you realize just how many people react to typical pre workouts. They can be active for approx 6 hours even in people who metabolize them fast. I know people who can take a pre workout at 2pm and struggle to sleep at midnight. I know you take them about 9pm some nights so it's no wonder you can't sleep at 3am or so. I think I process most things extremely fast but even I think the earliest I could sleep from a big pre workout at 9pm would be about 5am (unless I was really destroyed from training).
