Rest - pause is generally a technique used in bodybuilding and is a "set extender" like drop sets, forced reps, etc.
Rest-pause generally has you pick a predetermined amount of reps - maybe 30. You pick a weight that will allow you to get 15 reps and do it. Then you rack the weight....rest for about 15-20 breaths, unrack the weight and knock out a few more, maybe 5. You keep doing this process until you reach 30.
It is quite useful for bodybuilding type training, but is a BITCH to recover from and can't be used very often. Dorian used to use them quite a bit as I understand.
