Different types of Strength workouts

There are many programs to follow out there, which one is the right one? It’s about what you want to achieve, so I can give you some guidelines to follow when you are in the gym, otherwise you’ll need to discuss this with your trainer to work out a plan that suits you.

You need to think about
– Number of sets
– Repetitions per set
– Load or weight lifted
– Speed of movement
– Recovery between sets
– Order of exercise
– Sequence of body parts (splits)
– Sequence of exercise

Base your workouts on 5 different exercises that incorporate the whole body. Eg Squats, bench press, seated row, lat pulldowns, shoulder press.
If you are going to be loading heavy weights work on:-
1 -4  sets
3-6 reps
Move with control, slow down and power up.
Have longer recovery time 2 -3 minutes
Use big muscle group first then smaller eg, pushups before tricep extension

If you are going to be loading moderate weights work on:-
1 -4 sets
8-12 reps
Pace the same entering and exiting the exercise.
Recovery time 1 – 2 minutes
Maybe use push and pull sequence eg, push up to pull ups, chest to back work

If you are loading light weights work on:-
1 – 4 sets
15-20 reps
Move with a bit more pace, but with a controlled and correct technique
Recovery time 30 – 60 seconds
Can work smaller muscles first, then bigger muscle groups eg tricep extensions to push ups
