HKR 1001 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Delorme, Subset, One-Repetition Maximum
Document Summary
In a fixed system variables in sets such as load, rest, and repetitions are not changed during a given training session, but may be changed for the next workout. Straight sets: all sets of a given exercise are completed at a given load and number of repetitions before moving to the next exercise. In a variable system, one or more variables are manipulated during the performance of each exercise. These are more advanced systems requiring maximal loading and should be followed only after training for initial strength. Maximal strength: maximal strength routines emphasize absolute strength with less hypertrophy than bodybuilding type routines since there are fewer repetitions performed. Maximal strength training involves 3 or more sets of less than 6 repetitions at 85-100% of the 1 repetition maximum (1rm) Delorme method: the delorme method was devised by colonel delorme of the. Us army and is the classical 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions.
