I'm starting this program Monday. I'm not sure about the rest time in between reps or sets. Any info would be great!

    3-5 minutes on your work sets

    Initially, you will probably only need a minute or so. As your strength increases you will need up to 5 mins or so.

    On the app it tells me 90 seconds if it was easy and 3 minutes if it was hard.

    I downloaded the app and it is 90 seconds if it was easy, 3 minutes if it was hard and if you have a fail (aren't able to do 5 reps) you wait 5 minutes to try again.

    As long as you need, up to 3 minutes.
