Sets 1-2 2:17 of NOT fun... (pathetic as usual...my jump squats look more like I'm doing a bunny hop - totally twitchy legs by then)

So last week I had a "DUH" moment. I was reviewing the book to go back over the form for each of the exercises in Stage 5. It occurred to me that somewhere along the way I forgot that the rests were after each exercise not just after each superset. I've been doing supersets with no rests until after the last exercise in the set. No wonder I feel like I'm dying by the end of a workout. BTW, these Stage 5 workouts are taking me 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Is that normal or am I just really slow?
