M4:D35 (D335) Methods for Increasing Intensity

September 25, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

  

What's on my mind today?

There are many ways to increase intensity while lifting weights.  I am going to be doing a 7 part series over the next 7 days on the various means for increasing the intensity of your lifting sessions.  My goal will be to educate you on the many different ways you can up the intensity of your lifting.  Over the following 7 days I will cover:

  1. Drop sets
  2. Time repetitions
  3. Super sets
  4. Giant sets
  5. Negatives
  6. Twenty-ones
  7. Pyramiding

This series will be essential reading for anyone interested in good weight workouts.  You won't want to miss a single post during the next 7 days.  Please feel free to jump into the discussion with your comments about what I am going to share.  It will make the experience better for me and everyone else involved.

This workout was the one Carlos had me create.  He wanted me to see that I could modify the existing workout with the principles that I learned about H.I.T.  What I did was replace each movement in my Monday and Friday workout with a corresponding one for my Wednesday workout.  Switching to Front Squats was strategic as those really target the front of my quads.  That along with more Quad Blaster work really blasted my legs today.  This first workout was to feel out where the weights should go, but I felt really good about several of the exercises.  This type of training has been great for me so far.  I am just about finished with the third week and things are going well.
