The 1-6 Method uses maximal loads to potentiate the nervous system. In short, lift something heavy and your body anticipates something heavy again. When you follow the heavy double or single by a set of multiples, you will be able to do a heavier set of multiple reps than you would otherwise be able to do.
This program allows you to increase intensity over your sets and weeks, which will lead to long-term strength gains.
Get stronger and take your training to the next level with the 1-6 Method!
*You do not need to know your 1-rep max to complete this program, but should have 2-3 years of consistent lifting experience given the intensity of the rep scheme.
Program includes:
- Upper/Lower split of compound movements (Bench Press, Back Squat, Strict Press and Deadlift)
- Accessory movements to compliment the lifts
- Structured warm up and cooldown
