REST-PAUSE TRAINING-GREGORY CHANDLER

A favorite technique from my earlier days is the rest-pause technique.  The rest-pause technique manipulates the rest period between exercise repetitions. 

One can choose an exercise such as biceps curls with dumbbells.  After a warm-up, work up to a set lifting as much weight as you can for 2 to 3 repetitions.  Using the same weight, rest for 30 to 45 seconds.  Then do another set with 40 to 60 seconds of rest.  Next, do another 2 repetitions with 60 to 90 seconds of rest.  Finally, finish with a final 1 or 2 repetitions. 

The rest-pause technique is just another way to exercise the body.  Remember, diversity is key.
