Workouts that focus more on technique and less on numbers (weight, reps, etc.) is what I’ve been focusing on, and they have been rocking my world!

Tip of the Day: Pyramid style training is something I throw in from time to time because its a great technique to incorporate when you want a change and are seeking to shock your muscles. Today’s implementation will utilize a manipulation in repetitions, following a pyramid shape (gradual increase, peak, gradual decrease). Typically, I take short rests in between these sets and a longer rest in between movements. In terms of movements, when using a pyramid style technique, I highly recommend sticking to just a few staple movements; this will allow you to focus more on the pyramid style and less on the form of a movement you may not be very familiar with.

    I'm very interested to see what weight u use for each set. Do u think u could put that next to the exercise? (I know it's what works for u but I just want to know what weight you're building muscle with)

      Hi there,
      On the downloadable workout versions, I do include weight range suggestions. I do not post exactly what I use just because everyone is at a bit of a different place, so I wouldn't want anyone to lower their typical weight to match mine or even worse I wouldn't want anyone to strain their muscles trying to do weight that I do that they're not able.

      I'm happy to answer any questions you have towards suggested weight use!
