HIGH AND LOW
High reps alternated with low
reps. Example: Sets of pulldowns
for 15 reps alternated with sets
for five reps for four total sets.
Another method is to switch rep
modes on each exercise, like this:
four sets of pulldowns for 15 reps,
four sets of T-bar rows for five
reps, four sets of cable rows for
20 reps, and finally four sets of
deadlifts for six reps. Reason: The
rep ranges play off one another.
Then the higher reps pump the
muscle and stress it over longer
sets. The lower reps are focused
more on strength with an
emphasis on maximum weights.
Advice: Despite the name, you can
start with low reps.
