Pyramid Trainingfinnish_translation.jpg

Pyramidiharjoittelu

The idea of pyramids are used for strong human body training. Pyramid training starts using a light weight and doing many repetitions. The weight increases with each set and the number of repetitions decreases correspondingly.

Repetions         Strengths

10                        70 %                                     1111111111

 6                         85 %                                         111111

 2                         95 %                                            11

 1                       100 %                                             1

There is a high risk of injury when doing the repetition with maximal strength; it is actually used to increase strength rather than to increase muscle mass.

Truncated Pyramid

Repetions         Strengths

10                        70 %                                   1111111111

 8                         80 %                                     11111111

 6                         85 %                                       111111

The truncated pyramid stimulates the muscle fibres to swell more effectively than the normal pyramids.

Reversed Truncated Pyramid

Repetions         Strengths

Toistoja            Voimakkuus

 6                         85 %                                     111111

 8                         80 %                                   11111111

10                        70 %                                 1111111111

12                        60 %                               111111111111

The training intensity is considerably higher in comparison to the “truncated” pyramid. This is suitable for advanced athletes who have good training techniques.

Double Pyramid

10                         70 %                                 1111111111

12                         60 %                               111111111111

Advantages and Disadvantages

+ Increase in strength and muscle growth

- training is time-consuming because of the constant weight changing
