Heavy Weights Programme 25

Heavy Weights Programme 25

Aim: Complete this programme over an 6 - 8 week period, and try to increase the weights a bit every two weeks.

In order to get the correct weight for the exercises we want to use the “Reps in Reverse” method. You want to choose a heavy enough weight that you can perform your target rep range  but you should be able to do 3 more reps at the end.

E.g. If I have set 6 reps, you should feel like you could do 9 with good form. So using a challenging but not max weight. It might take a couple of sessions to get the weight right, just take your time.

Equipment:

  • Barbell
  • Weight plates
  • Bench/box
  • TRX
  • Smith machine or leg press
