So when we lift weights (any... legs, chest, calves, bi's tri's...) we should be counting 24 to 36 seconds?

If STRENGTH is primary goal


for SIZE - 48-60.





Another thing to consider - pyramids ahve always been looked upon as the best blen of size and strength....


why??



You are in both zones.

pyramids ahve always been looked upon as the best blen of size and strength....

And by this you mean add weight for each set?

YES.......keep the tempo the same......by manipulating the weight...the rep range drops from "endurance" to "pure strength".....best of all worlds

 

[alycat]

to sum it up ...

Pyramid of 4 sets, upping the weight each set....
now for each set how many reps, are we counting 48-60sec or going to failure?

on a standard rep tempo- each rep is 6 seconds.......


so in the 48-60 bracket - it would be 8-10 reps.......have someone time your reps - seriously - we overestimate our TUT

Alright....
4 set
8-10 reps each (48-60sec total)
6 second each rep
up the weight each new set
with a 60 sec rest in between sets.

come on Shadow, tell me I got it right this time?

P.S. is V8 juice alright to have in the place of a veggies?

yep.....just rememer that uppring the weight will drop the reps.....just keep the 6 second deal.....



V8 is loaded with salt......just kep an eye on the cals in it,..should be fine

so if by the 3rd and 4th set I can't reach 8-19 (48-60sec)... that's cool.
