I will come back next year bigger, more experienced and in even better condition.
Over the year i want to finally break 300 on my bench press, 400 on my squat and 500 on my deadlift.
How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
If I'm dieting/contest prepping, 1 minute. Keeps the heart rate elevated and the body cranking.
If I'm bulking, 2-3 minutes. Gives me long enough to recover and move a heavier weight next set.

How many reps per set do you usually do? Why?
6-12. First set is around 12 to feel the muscle working and guage my strength. Second set is usually around 6-8 to keep feeling the muscle and pack on the weight and breat the muscle down.
