Rest-Pause Sets
Rest-pause sets take a set near failure, rest fifteen to twenty seconds, then squeeze out more reps—often two or three mini-bursts—before ending the set. They extend time under tension with moderate loads when heavy singles are not scheduled.

Use sparingly on stable exercises; excessive rest-pause volume spikes soreness.
