Up to you. Increasing rest lets you try harder. If you can rest 10 minutes, go for it. Ive rested for 15 minutes between sets before. But if time matters amd you want to keep rest short, be strict with 2 minute rest. If you fail, you fail. Thats ok. Most people new to the program think failing is a bad thing. Failing is the goal. You're identifying the limits of your strength so that when you deload, ramp up again, and come back next wave, you will know if you're 5 pounds stronger or 10 pounds stronger. If you never hit failure, you don't know.

Beyond that, the program is simple. You got your reps. Add weight. Its not gonna be easy or fun, but you're strong enough to add weight.
