needsize- How much rest between the heavy work sets? Are you always able to get all five on the last set, or do you go up 5lbs. when you can?

For heavy squats, I'll rest anywhere between 3- 5minutes, depending on how I feel. but I"m also a big fan of supersetting to keep my heart rate up, it keeps me leaner year round, so in between squat sets I'll pick something light, like pushups, and do a quick set in between.
For me the key is making sure I can get all the reps on all the sets, I've always found that if I get all 5x5, then when I add my 5 or 10lbs, it's a guarantee that I'll get at least 3 sets of 5 on the increase the next workout, if not all 5. Sticking to this also keeps my form clean as I'm not trying to go too heavy.
