LADIES THAT LIFT PHASE 11
Metabolic Conditioning is a method of training that involves a very high work rate, using superset (involves two exercises performed back-to-back that work separate muscle groups), short periods of rest designed to burn more calories during your workout and maximise calories burned after your workout (EPOC, informally called after-burn) these routines are intended to increase your body’s storage and delivery of energy for any activity.
We Generally use compound exercise to recruit more muscle with a higher energy demand, to build strength and endurance while getting lean.
Optimal rep ranges for functional hypertrophy
Generally 1-8 rep range to hypertrophy the fast twitch muscle fibers ( maximal strength output and explosive movements).
Functional hypertrophy arguably even better with reps in the 1-5 rep range, although reps as high as 6-8 can still be helpful.
Hypertrophy I
Type I muscle fibers are more efficient over long periods of time. They are mainly used for postural maintenance (such has holding the head upright), or endurance exercises (like marathon running).
10-12 reps (70-75%)
Strength endurance
Endurance means encouraging and training your muscles to perform for an extended period of time. This means doing a lot of repetitions. People targeting muscular endurance will aim for a range from 12-20+ reps.
20 reps (60%)
12-15 reps (65-68%)
Giant Sets are simply big supersets. They require you to perform a number of exercises (at least four +) in consecutive order without any rest in between.
Giant sets not only increase your total training volume, but also raise your time under tension. A1 + A2 + A3 + A4 + A5 + A6 + are completed with little to no rest, enough time to go and start the next exercise. Rest two minutes then repeat.
