today i tried out rest pause training for bench press and deadlifts and it was ok. i think it mostly just reaffirmed my dislike of going heavy because of the stress it puts on my joints. anyone here have any success with rest/pause?

It's the most effective 'failure' training method there is in my opinion since it allows you to perform more reps with a heavy weight than would otherwise be possible. Dropsets take you to failure with progressively lighter weights but they certainly won't make you stronger.Originally Posted by de_barathrum
The most popular example of rest pause training is 20 rep squats where you take your 10RM and rest pause your way to 20 reps when you hit failure. A lot of people have seen tremendous growth off this kind of training although it has to be used wisely. It's also a key part of DC (Doggcrapp) training. Do it all the time however and you'll quickly burn out. It's also not something I'd recommend to anyone new to training.
