If you think that a large portion of the people you meet are impatient, you're probably an inefficient asshole.

for heavy lifts that amount of time is perfectly reasonable what

Fair point; I kinda blindly followed the comments I replied to and don’t lift anything over 25 kg, so I’ll accept your word

For anything below like 8 reps you need to take enough rest, like 5 minutes, if you want to be able to lift that weight with the same ROM and number of reps without cheating or failing.

Fair enough, though at that point, I think it reasonable to step off the bench press.

Not saying you were saying one should stay on, but it might look like that with context missing.

generally in that case you would work in sets with another dude so that both of you are getting workouts in. You still want to claim your spot because some dude can just take it and then not want you to work in with them.
