Workout Technique Guide

Rest-Pause

One hard set broken into mini-sets with very short rests. Effective but fatiguing, so use sparingly.

When Ken Uses It

Best on stable machines or safe isolation moves. Not ideal for beginners or risky lifts.

Coaching Rule

Use the method to improve the result, not just to make the workout harder. The client must still move well, recover well, and understand the purpose.

Example: Machine Press Rest-Pause

10 reps, rest 15-20 sec, 3-4 reps, rest 15-20 sec, 3-4 reps.

How To Progress It

Month 1: learn the format and keep effort controlled. Month 2: add a set, round, or slightly more load. Month 3: increase intensity only if form, recovery, and confidence are strong.
