I now do 5x5 but I used to do 3x8. I find now I do better with 5x5 and see better results.

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
30 seconds. If it's something heavy like squats or leg press 1 minute.

Have you ever had a lifting injury?
Yes
What type of injury was it? How long were you injured? How did you recover?
