Rest/Pause Training

I have been experimenting with this technique by doing 5 reps with a weight I could do 6 with, rest for 20 seconds, then resume. Repeat this 2 more times. My strength and size gains were most impressive! Has anyone else done this kind of training? What results did you get? I train one muscle group a day and allow about 7 to 9 days recovery depending on how I feel. I want to continue this while I lose body fat. What do you think?

Given that you are happy with your size and strength gains, don't change a thing until progress stops. I think people generally change routines more often than they change diets and don't allow enough time to evaluate. I am currently alternating high rep days with low rep days and find that I am doing well but like to change exercises and routine every 6-8 weeks. Well done.0
