Good point. I just sort of assumed through that and talked about switching exercises because that is obviously what you do after you finish a set.

You can rest between body parts. So if you do legs and need a few minutes to catch your breath before you do chest that’s fine. But growth comes from properly fatiguing the muscles so less rest for the same muscle is best. And if you do high intensity training, which is about going to failure, then you only need one set so resting doesn’t matter. Unless you need to a drop set but those don’t have resting time.
I lift with a buddy these days so that slows down my tempo a bit. I usually try to go do set up for the next lift during his set if possible.
I keep the pace up to build for grappling. Someone without that goal might not get value from trying to keep time pressure on between sets.
Pacing isn’t a problem when working out with a partner as long as you’re not multiple sets per workout/body part
