Back & Biceps (Pyramid Style) – 1/28

Do you ever reach a workout funk?! Every once in awhile, I get stuck in a rut when it comes to my enthusiasm for working out. There’s no denying my love of weight training and HIIT cardio, but I’m not immune to losing motivation. I’ve been trying to come up with all sorts of different training techniques and styles to begin implementing.

Tip of the Day: “How do I implement a pyramid style workout?” There are many ways to create a pyramid style workout! Think of the shape of a pyramid – there is a gradual increase followed by a gradual decrease. This increase/decrease can come in the form of time, weight, sets, etc. For instance, you may begin using moderate weight, moving to heavier weight, then returning back down to the starting weight. Contrary, you may begin using a medium rep range, moving to higher reps, then returning back down to the starting rep range. Today’s workout download specifies one particular pyramid style I implement, but there is really are no rules to constructing your own workout. When I do pyramid workouts, I typically stick to less movements, picking “staple” exercises and I do more sets per movement than normal to account for the up and down of the “pyramid.”
