10, 15, 20 INCREASING REP SETS


A different twist in how to structure you sets, the "increasing rep" method can help you breach a door or a plateau in your training. Here is how it works:

First, pick a weight that you can only lift 10 times with good form.

Then, go down in weight so that you can complete 15 good reps.

Your third set should have a weight that you can lift with 20 reps.

If you are in good shape and need a few extra sets then do each step twice (2 sets at 10 reps, 2 sets at 15 reps, etc.), you may not be able to complete the second set in the the group, but that's ok.

You have to change things up to make true progress.......CHALLENGE YOURSELF!!!
