Shorter on the singles. Probably get away with 3 minutes if you are conditioned. Goes up from there as reps get higher. If triples are balls out you might need 10 mins between attempts.

Rest Between Sets on TM Phase II: Running It Out
Generally, how much rest do I take between sets on 2x3's, 3x2's, and 5x1's in TM Phase II?

I need at least 5 minutes between 5 singles across on deadstop rack bench presses @ 90-95% 1RM. They're just brutal. I'm not clear on the physiology of it - something to do with the nervous system, I suppose. And if one single is a really slow grind, the next one won't even leave the pins.

Deadstop Rack Presses and or Squats are a little bit of a different animal. Yes, the brutal grind of those exercises are not the same as a regular single
