Really enjoying this variation of rest pause. Instead of taking a clean number of sets, reps, rest periods, or rest pause periods, just set a timer and get to work.
All sets can approach failure without going to failure. Set a rep goal for the time period you use and increase the weight if you hit your goal. I also found a conjugate/concurrent method of lifting (see: heavy day | lighter/volume day) works really well with this type of rest pause. Going heavy all the time is great, but I need to back off way sooner than if I relegate 1 heavy day a week.
Example:
Ring dips | Heavy | 5min | Rep goal 20
9 , 5 , 4 , 3 , 2 , 2 , 1 = 26 reps, increase weight next time
