Using the "rest-pause" principle allows you to extend a set beyond failure. Dorian Yates used this technique to prolong a set of machine shoulder presses after he hit failure at the 8th rep. To squeeze out a couple more, he remained seated and rested again to gather his energy before pressing out one more. He recommends the rest-pause principle as a great strength builder for anyone who is training without a partner and cannot utilise forced reps.
