Hi
Long time reader, first time poster - I hope you guys can lend a hand here...
I've practiced a weekly deadlifting routine that about a year ago went from going to the gym to lift a barbell 5X5 to now doing it at home. I don't have a barbell, but I do have a few fairly heavy KB's - after some noodling on the program, my Sunday strength routine now looks like this:
One legged deadlift with two KB's - one 36KG and one 32KG - five reps reach side
Clean with the 36kg - five per side
Kneeling military press (strict) with a 20kg - five per side
I then take 5 - 15 mnutes of rest in between sets, for five sets. Here's my question: How much rest between sets is too much? I have three small children and a wife. Sometimes life gets in the way of the routine - I've tried to just let it be as good as it can be, and I know that a fairly structured session is best - but if things don't work out for whatever reason, and I have 30 minutes between each set - what then?
Hope you guys can help, or at least share your thoughts on the above.

PS. The reason I use two different weights for the DL is that I don't have two identical bells. I used the bells I've purchased for S&S for this workout as well. The kneeling military press is due to the fact that I can't stand up in my basement so during the winter, I can't do overhead excercises without going outside - I do that on other days, but lugging three KB's outside is too high a "barrier to entry".
