Designing Your <br />Resistance Training Program (3)

Lecture Notes

The time or duration component of resistance training programs is really determined by the number of repetitions and sets that you complete, which are each defined on the slide here for you, and also the rest that you take between sets. Multi-set training is often the best approach to see advancements in muscular strength, endurance and power. So here we're just talking about doing multiple sets of a particular exercise using the same amount of resistance. So, for example, you could do bicep curls, you could do 2 or 3 sets of bicep curls with 15-pound weights as opposed to just one set of bicep curls.
