Here’s an excellent quote from elite trainer Christian Thibaudeau (@christian.thibaudeau.thibarmy):
The method I like for hypertrophy the most is rest/pause. You take a set to failure or close, rest a few seconds, and do a few more reps and so on. That allows you to get more effective reps in the least amount of time. The best training methods for hypertrophy allow you to save time, getting the same results with less sets.
The Slow-Twitch Exhaustion method (STX) that you use with the Old Man Young Muscle and OMYM2 workouts is rest/pause with a muscle-fiber activation twist.
There are multiple studies cited and explained in OMYM2 on how and why it works, but the one that compares rest/pause with drop sets and standard training is in chapter 7: Density for Immensity and Faster Workouts.
The STX method allows for more efficient, faster hypertrophy training—35-minute workouts three times a week.
Till next time, train hard—and smart—for BIG results.
