Rest-Pause method

Has anyone tried this method of training, rather than conventional straight sets?

The idea behind it is, you choose your 10rm max, do amrap, rest for as long as needed to do 3 reps (i.e. 5 seconds), if you end up doing more than 3 reps you're resting for too long, repeat until you reach 40 reps.

So it looks like this;

Bench Press 40kgx10+3+3+3+3 so on until 40 reps.

You progress if the next workout, you can do more than 10 reps in the first go.

Is there any benefit to this over conventional straight set workouts?
