Yesterday we explored the concept of the pyramid. I love ancient architecture as much as the next muscle head but of course the pyramid I am referring to is a training routine. A pyramid is where you start with a low number of reps then each set increase the number reps until you reach a designated point THEN you decrease the reps each set till you get back where you started.
For example try this:
Squat thrust then Push Press for
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 repetitions each set.
I do the Push Press with 95lbs and completed the whole pyramid in about 21 minutes. Beginners should try a 20lbs bar and attempt to finish in the same amount of time.
Have fun, be safe and post your times and comments here!
