There are always problems with terminology, but I used names preferred by Ashley Jones and Joe Kenn. Here are couple of variations that are frequently done in strength training. Within this time frame, set and rep schemes refer to one exercise and one workout. Please see references for further details. I will be relying on various writings by Dan Baker, Ashley Jones, Joe Kenn and others in this classification and terminology.
Thus, regardless of what you are training for (training objectives) there exists certain set and rep schemes (progressions and variations) you can employ on different time scales. This is just an example without too much detail (especially in training parameters and progressions), but I hope you get the picture.Īs alluded to in the beginning of this article, certain variations and progressions in training parameters are more suited toward different training objectives, but there exist commonalities between them that we will focus on. On the following table there is example breakdown of these processes for an intermediate powerlifter. It is definitely not linear as depicted, but involves a lot of feedback information to redefine certain components based on real life results, hence the importance of monitoring and measuring. This is the simple process that outlines the planning and programming of training. Training objectives will demand certain training parameters, within which we can employ various progressions and variations, which are what we call set and reps schemes.
In this article, I will discuss the process used to program your training, evaluate proper set and rep schemes, and look at load-exertion levels. Understanding these concepts and their relationships is helpful in programming the variations and progressions in rep and set schemes. In the first article of this series, Set and Rep Schemes in Strength Training, I wrote about the relationships between load, exertion and effort.
