Density training to hit rep goals

http://www.weight-lifting-workout-routines.com/workout-routine-3.html


Pick an exercise that you would like to improve. Exercises that require little or no set-up time work best, pull-ups, pushups or kettlebell snatches are all excellent choices. Simply double the volume of your goal repetitions. For example, if you want to be able to perform 20 straight pull-ups, double that number to 40. Perform 20 sets of 2 reps in 20 minutes. You must start each set at the top of each minute. When this set and rep scheme becomes easy, move onto the next level, which would be 3 reps every minute for 13 minutes, and so on and so on…. It should look like this over the weeks.

• 20 sets of 2 reps for 20 minutes

• 13 sets of 3 reps for 13 minutes

• 10 sets of 4 reps for ten minutes

• 8 sets of 5 reps 8 minutes

• 7 sets of 6 reps for 6 minutes

• 6 sets of 7 reps in 5 minutes

• 5 sets of 8 reps in 5 minutes

• 4 sets of 10 reps in 4 minutes

• 3 sets of 13 reps in 3 minutes

Eventually, you will be able to accomplish your desired goal of 20 repetitions. Do this routine only twice per week. You may however, use Density Training for two separate workout routines. Not only does Density Training accelerate your progress and improve your numbers, it allows you to carry out more work in less time. That is power.
