what is complex training
Performing a multijoint or compound exercise, with a heavy load, immediately followed by an explosive movement (e.g., a barbell squat then a vertical jump)
Giant set
Performing four or more exercises in rotation with as little rest as possible between sets
Circuit training
Performing a series of exercises, one after the other, with minimal rest
Peripheral heart action
A variation of circuit training that alternates upper and lower body exercises throughout the set
Split routine
A resistance training routine that trains different body parts on separate days
Vertical loading
A form of training in which strength training exercises are performed in rapid succession, starting with the upper body and working down to the lower body (i.e., total-body → chest → back → shoulders → biceps → triceps → legs)
Horizontal loading
Performing all sets of an exercise (or body part) before moving on to the next exercise (or body part)
the single set system
the single set system uses one set per exercise
who would benefit the most from single set training
beginner clients
the multiple set system
the multiple set system on the other hand consist of performing multiple numbers of sets for each exercise
is multiple set system superior to the single set system
yes
The Pyramid System
he pyramid system involves a progressive or regressive step approach that either increases weight with each set or decreases weight with each set
The Superset System
The superset system uses two exercises performed in rapid succession, one after another.
Complex Training
Complex training is an effective, time-efficient training method for enhancing strength and power, which alternates heavy resistance exercise with an explosive power exercise that is biomechanically similar in movement
Post-activation potentiation (PAP)
The phenomenon by which acute muscle force generation is increased as a result of the inner contraction of the muscle.
Drop Sets
A drop set is a resistance training system that is popular among bodybuilders and strength athletes.
Giant Set
Giant sets, while very similar to supersets, are comprised of four or more exercises completed in succession.
Rest-Pause Set
Rest-pause training is a popular style that typically employs moderate to heavy loading with a short rest interval, allowing clients to develop as much of a stimulus as possible in minimal time.
the circuit training system
the circuit training system consists of a series of exercises that a individual perform one after the other
how many sets in total should be performed per exercise during circuit training
1 to 3 sets
how many repetitions should be performed per set during circuit training
8 to 20 repetitions
what is the peripheral heart action system
The peripheral heart action system is another variation of circuit training that alternates upper body and lower body exercises throughout the circuit.
what is vertical loading
Alternating body parts trained from set to set, starting from the upper extremity and moving toward the lower extremity.
what is horizontal loading
Performing all sets of an exercise or body part before moving on to the next exercise or body part.
