I’m usually catching my breath after holding it for five reps under load between sets. Time well spent resting before next set.0

I tend to pace between sets.0

Start pulling sumo.
The setup time of walking to barbell, placing feet, pointing up to lifting gawds, taking in air, flirting with barbell, taking in air, pulling slack, taking in air, pumping hamm strings, standing back up to point to air gawds, repulling slack out, caressing barbell, screaming expletives, standing up, snarl face the recording camera because one cannot be cute if recording, take in air, pull slack, wiggle butt, regrip to hook grip, take in air, pull slack, stand up & tork, slap legs three times, point to cute girl, pull slack out of bar, wink at bench boys, take air in, check shoes are tied, and realize you never chalked up...
Log your workout, review vid form, make notes from review, read literature, change weight, etc...
There are plenty of things to multi task between sets in a short 90 second rest.4 -

I have this same exact issue. I have been doing HIIT, circuit training, boot camp, etc for years. I'm now working on Olympic Lifts and it kills me to spend so much time resting between sets. I'm not at all accustomed to having rest during a workout. I know my lifts suffer if I don't rest between sets, so I try to take my time increasing weight with each set, and I pace a lot. Sometimes I'll go through a "check-list" of the movements in my head, doing them in slow motion without the weight to pass the time and make sure my form is as ideal as I can get it. (things like: weight on heels, elbows high, where are your knees? keep your core tight, don't hold your breath).1

Man I wish my rest sets were 90 seconds 😭 when I’m cutting I superset everything and never take a break. Now that I’m bulking the plan I’m on has me resting 3 mins between sets if I hit my goal of reps on the previous set and 4 mins if I don’t. It’s a pain in the *kitten* lol. I generally have a podcast going in my headphones and I tend to just focus in on that during my rest periods.0

In between my set I will pick one of these... 45 pop squats, 25 step ups,30 alt lunges, 30 sec toe taps,30 jumping jacks....ect Then I will do 20 sit up's (I will change it up each rep).0

That's hilarious and too accurate.
I usually check work emails. But what someone said previously about visualization is golden. I did it recently to achieve two goals. The night before I laid in bed and visualized me hitting those goals and telling myself I was going to do it in the morning. And sure enough I did.
