i pulled this from a site on the net and it has me wondering if it works! it looks like it would work very good but i jsut wanna know if anybody has tried it out!!!
rest pause training is similar to techniques used by powerlifters to be able to lift a higher weight more often. it's taking a weight that you can only do ONE rep with, and then rest a minute or two, you then lift the weight for one more rep, and rest. you do this ten times, so you've done ten reps, out of ten sets. your next workout you cut down the rest period by 15 seconds. do your max rep, rest 45 seconds, etc. . ., for another ten sets, for a total of 10 reps. you keep on chiseling that resting period down to 15, then 10, then 5 seconds, and then finally, no rest. you've now taken your max weight, and conditioned your muscles to lift it 10 times.
i'm trying to get as strong as possible on bodybuilding lifts to put on somemore size and with the whole "power-building" theories going around i wanted to get some info on this type of training!
