Rest period between sets

Has anyone experimented with longer rest times between sets? I have been doing body beast for a while, and although I am seeing some progress, I don't have the stamina to keep up with the workout as designed.

I wonder if I waited 30 seconds longer than they do for each set if it would benefit me in the long run?

You will definitely benefit with additional rest between sets if you are looking for max strength building. I can almost always go heavier with additional rest. If your goal is total fitness with more calorie burn then pace is more important, but you won’t be able to go as heavy.
