Transformations
• Choose a very light load in Week 1 of this program, log it in the Log Sheet, and
progress according to your log sheet from next week
• If you feel great on some days, you can increase the number of sets in your
training; if you have less time on some days or you feel low, you can decrease the
number of sets and perform exercises in supersets or even circuits.
• On days you do not feel like going for HEAVY LOAD, go for lighter load and train
till failure.
• You can use Drop Sets, Rest-Pause Sets, and Back-off Sets to increase intensity
and generate resistance.
What are:
Top sets- the set performed using the heaviest load in an exercise.
Back off set- set(s) performed after the top set using lesser loads than the top
set.
Tempo set- a tempo set is a set with defined time of concentric ( shortening of
muscle), pause and eccentric ( lengthening of muscle ). For eg. A 3-1-1 squat
would use 3 seconds for going down and reaching depth, 1 second pause at
that depth and 1 second to come up.
Drop set- a drop set is 2 consecutive sets of the same exercise using heavier
loads for the first set and then lowering the weight by 20-40% to perform
another set without any rest in between them.
Rest pause set- a rest pause set are 2 sets of the same exercise performed
consecutively using the same load with 10-30 second rest in between them.
