Custom Advanced Routines

The Custom Advance Weight Training Protocol is designed for the experienced weight lifter, personal trainer, or exercise physiologist.It is highly recommended that you review the section on weight training principles, routines, sets, reps, and training techniques. In addition, you should follow the medical and safety principles of weight training. Experienced lifter or trainer can design advance programs, however it is recommended that these programs be performed under supervision.

Ascending Pyramid Workout
Here you start with low reps, high weight and then increase the reps as you subtract weight. At the end of the last set you work your way back down, adding weight and subtracting reps. Scale the weight down or up, according to your ability. Note: Rest after each pyramid (up and down) cycle. 

Descending Pyramid Workout
Here you start with high reps, low weight and then decrease the reps as you add weight. At the end of the last set you work your way back down, taking off weight and adding reps. Scale the weight down or up, according to your ability. Note: Rest after each pyramid (up and down) cycle. 

Super Set Same Muscle Group Workout
A super set is when you do one exercise right after the other, with little of no rest until the second set is completed. Super sets can reduce workout time, or allow you to pack more exercises into a given training session. Most super sets are performed by using the same muscle group. Warning: You must be in good shape and work into super setting slowly to avoid injury.

Super Set Opposing Muscle Group Workout
A super set is when you do one exercise right after the other, with little of no rest until the second set is completed. Super sets can reduce workout time, or allow you to pack more exercises into a given training session. You can also perform super sets by working opposing muscle groups (i.e. biceps vs. triceps).Warning: You must be in good shape and work into super setting slowly to avoid injury.
