Resistance Training Intensity: Load Versus Repetitions – RDLFITNESS

March 9, 2013

This post represents a single article for a complete series dedicated to developing muscular strength and size through resistance training. Each article relies on the information detailed before it to convey a thorough understanding.View an outline with links to theentire series here.It is easily possible to lift an enormous “total tonnage” while doing nothing worthwhile and just as easy to perform a very productive workout that involves very little “total tonnage”. Secondly, according to that theory, ten reps with 100 pounds are exactly equal to two reps with 500 pounds which is obvious nonsense; the “work performed” would be equal but the power required and the results produced would certainly NOT be equal.- Arthur JonesGrowthTraining for muscular growth focuses on developing a greater cross-sectional area, and this depends on the proper balance between the load versus repetitions.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
