This week introduces Reverse Pyramid Training. This means reversing the conventional method for building muscle. Rather than beginning with the lightest weight and doing 10 repetitions for the first set you'll reverse the order and begin your first set with the heaviest weight you can handle for at least 6 repetitions - if your goal is increasing strength and muscle mass.
There are several ways to do this. One method is for each succeeding set you can decrease the weight and increase the reps. Here at BCA101 Body Sculpting we chose to do I set of 10 with heavier weight, take a 10 second rest (holding the weights at the tension point for that rest) and then do 9, 10 second rest, 8 and so on down to one. The rest between the exercises was 1-3 minutes. As the repetitions became harder, the weight was dropped down.
There are so many ways to vary your routine, this one was a definite challenge to campers but they worked HARD and the hour flew by! Way to go and stay STRONG!!
