Adherence

Advanced resistance training systems (Rest-Pause and Sarcoplasmic Stimulating Training) induce significantly higher perceived exertion, pain, and displeasure compared to traditional multi-set training, despite producing lower post-exercise lactate concentrations.

If you are an experienced lifter, advanced techniques like Rest-Pause or Sarcoplasmic Stimulating Training can increase your total training load and volume, which are key for muscle growth. However, be aware that these methods will feel significantly more painful and unpleasant than standard training, even if they produce less lactate. Because of this high discomfort, these systems are best reserved for experienced athletes who can tolerate the psychological burden, rather than beginners.
