I’ve been matching my training style and technique to the physical goals I have. It’s taken me awhile to learn the art and science behind this, but I’m happy to share more about what I’ve found in today’s tip!

Tip of the Day: High rep high volume training…have you heard of it, tried it, love it, hate it? I’m pretty obsessed for two reasons, but first let’s talk about what this type of training style entails. There are two types of common weight training approaches in terms of how much weight to use and how many repetitions to perform. First is the low rep/high weight approach in which one would use such a heavy weight that it only permits for a few reps; this is common when attempting to build muscle or increase strength with a movement.
On the other hand, high rep/high volume training involves performing a greater number of reps and in order to do so, the weight is typically dropped to a light to moderate weight range. This training style is all about flooding the muscles with blood, which is what we as weight lifters refer to as a “muscle pump” – you know that hard, dense, inflated feeling your biceps experience after several sets of bicep curls.
As I mentioned, I have main two reasons that I love high rep/high volume training. First off, I’m someone whose fitness goals are geared towards a fit, strong figure, not just skinny, so I like having girly muscle and shape. This training style is great at achieving that build. Secondly, I like being fit, but I love being lean so that the muscle I worked hard for can be defined and peak through. I find that high rep/high volume training entails more cardio to get through lots of reps, so I am able to stay fit and lean.
Today’s workout utilizes this technique by supersetting every weight training exercise with a plyometric movement to further the burn.

Hi I am new to your workouts just purchased them for the first time and have one question are the supersets meant to be done in addition to the one that it is attached to or in place of just a little confused on exactly what that means?
