You're both right. In my mind, I didn't care. But there is a subtle difference.
A1 bench, rest 1
A2 row, rest 1
or
A1, bench, rest 0
A2, row, rest 2
I've seen articles that insist that it's important to do them one way or another, but I don't see how it could make any real difference. It's only important to pick one way and stick with it for the whole program.
Your way might be more precise, in the sense that you can really manage the total rest time. If you had a watch, and checked it as you racked the bb from the bench, you could start your 1 minute right then. So, your time to change exercises would not be counted, since it's part of the rest time.
As long as you always do it the same way, you're fine. If you start off with 2 minute after both, you really have 2.5-3 minutes. If you switched to 1 minute afer each, you'd drop your total rest (from bench to bench) to 2 minutes. You'd shortchange yourself compared to the last week, and be able to lift less weight.
