rest time…

What is the normal rest time between exercises in a HIT routine if doing one exercise per body part? Or does it vary per person?

My current routine is
Day1
Bench- 3 warmup sets….. 1×6-8 to failure
Dips- 1x 6-8 to failure
shoulder press- 1 warmup set…. 1x 6-8 to failure
skullcrushers- 1warmup set….. 1×10 to failure
squat- 2 warmup sets…… 1×12 to failure
leg extensions- 1×10 to failure
calf raise- 1 warmup set….. 1×15 to failure

Day 2
Barbell Rows- 2warmup sets…. 1×6-8 to failure
Wide-grip palms facing me chinups- 1xbodyweight to failure
Deadlift- 2warmup sets….. 1×10 to failure
Preacher Curl- 1×10 to failure
Leg Curl- 1×10 to failure

Rest time is approx 1 minute between exercises…
Wait about 2 minutes after final warmup set for bench and squat to do failure set
Lifts are slow and controlled going until failure, i.e. the weight falling on me basically…

i follow a routine similar to yours and i rest about 1 min to 1.5 min between each exercise. I also dont warm up on every exercise only the first couple since that should be enough for all of the muscles to warm up.
