Workouts

Every workout, the first exercise will be a "general" pyramid method.  You will be using max weight for each set until failure (for ex. A1 Romanian deadlift for 12 reps at 150 pounds, 10 reps at 180 pounds, 8 reps at 200 pounds, 6 reps at 220 pounds) then rest between sets for 90 seconds.  You are using your own weight amount, of course, depending on your ability.  First finish A1, then start B1 and continue this way all through the training session.

For the next exercise, B1, go hard, but each set is identical (for example, 80 pounds each set) and rest between sets for only 45 seconds.
