Recent research has shown that stretching, balancing and other exercises can help slow down the progression of mild cognitive impairment.
You can gain strength and size by rest-pause training, but there are some things you should consider.
This article explains in detail the benefits of rest-pause training and how to use them. Take a look at this article before you head to the gym.
There are two main approaches to strength: one focuses on strength and one focuses hypertrophy, which is the increase in muscle size.
Okay, so you're convinced and are ready to give rest-pause training another chance. But you still need a plan and it must be compatible with your lifestyle. There are many options available for training your own staff if you have limited time.
A similar study was published July 2013 in Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. It involved collegiate athletes who had no resistance training experience. The researchers examined three levels of volume, each with 3 sets per exercises, a moderate volume (with 6 sets per body part), and one that was high in volume (9 sets per body part). These are the results. They concluded that although the high volume group was more successful in improving strength, it was only marginally better than the moderate or low volume groups.
A workout can consist of 3 sets, each with 6-10 reps. This will provide an excellent stimulus for growth. Once you start to use the methods I will describe, you'll find that your muscles can do so much more in a short time.
Although the rest-pause group performed 32% more reps, the strength of both groups was equal. This shows that rest-pause does not increase strength.
Both groups used 80% of their 1-rep max. The rest-pause group was able to train to failure, while the traditional training group couldn't, due to their protocol.
There are two ways to approach strength. One is focused on strength. The other is hypertrophy. This means that you will increase your muscle size.

It was a surprise to me that I saw strength gains in 3 months, compared with the usual 8-9 weeks of overreaching. Although I am sure there were other factors, I have found that every week has been slightly more difficult.

Hypothetically speaking they might have looked like this as they got stronger for a given exercise.
The first focuses more on hypertrophy. Failure training is included. This is the second, and it's one of the best methods to get you used working with heavyweight. It doesn't require you be successful.
Anyone who has ever tried rest-pause knows that it works, to a certain extent. Research confirms its efficacy. However, coaches often exaggerate how effective it is, particularly when it comes down to strength and bulk. Is it more about the rep strategy itself that the rest-pause benefits or is it a matter of fundamental lifting principles like intensity and volume?
Okay, so you're convinced and are ready to give rest-pause training another chance. But you still need a plan and it must be compatible with your lifestyle. There are many options available for training your own staff if you have limited time.
Compare that to the traditional lifting group. The participants had to do the same amount of reps with the same weight and for the same set for six weeks regardless of whether or not they became stronger. There was no progression due to the strict design of this study.
The traditional group did not use progressive overload. Instead, the rest-pause participants used progressive overload. Progressive overload was built into the rest-pause program, since they were told to train until they failed to complete 18 total reps.
I also urge you to not get too attached to training principles. This may not work for your long-term goals or short-term. You react to intensity, volume, frequency and exercise differently. Don't try rest-pause if it doesn’t feel right. Training should be compatible with your physical and mental abilities, and should be sustainable for longer than a few training sessions. Do not be discouraged if you don't find the right fit.
There are many strength exercises that you can choose from, but they tend to be low-reps with long rest periods. You can also use rest-pause training to add a new spin. This involves using very low reps, difficult weight, and short rest periods.
