Ascending Pyramid weight training is a resistance training technique that involves progressively increasing or decreasing the weight lifted in a systematic manner throughout a workout session. The structure of the workout resembles a pyramid, hence the name. This approach helps to challenge and gradually fatigue muscles while allowing for sufficient warm-up and adaptation.
The key advantage of pyramid training is its ability to target different aspects of muscular endurance, strength, and hypertrophy within the same workout. It allows individuals to gradually warm up their muscles, pre-fatigue them with higher reps, and then challenge them with heavier weights for lower reps. Adjusting the pyramid structure can cater to specific fitness goals, whether they are focused on strength, endurance, or a combination of both
Ascending Pyramid:Start with a light weight for a higher number of repetitions (e.g., 12-15 reps).Increase the weight and decrease the repetitions with each subsequent set.Continue this pattern until you reach the heaviest weight for the lowest number of repetitions (e.g., 6-8 reps).
