Pyramid Training Workout Routine

The pyramid workout is where you perform exercises to the point of muscular fatigue.  In other words, you go until you can't go any more by constantly decreasing the weight.  Here's a complete body workout routine that should leave you sore for days. 

Each exercise will be done in four non-stop sets, the only time you stop is to swap the weight.  Perform your sets with the following weight and intensity:

Set 1: Maximum weight 6 repetitions
Set 2: 75% of maximum weight 10 repetitions
Set 3: 50% of maximum weight 15 repetitions
Set 4: 25% of maximum weight 25 repetitions

Here are the exercises for this workout: 

Shoulder Press








Squats








Lat Pulldowns








Bench Press

    All that stands between a good body and a great body is someone to push you just that little bit further than you would push yourself.Training on your own can be hard work and requires lots of self motivation.
