Advanced Resistance Training
There are 15 workouts in this level. Each workout works the whole body using 7 stable/unstable supersets. Each workout is progressively harder than the previous one. If you stay consistant and accountable to the program, the workouts will not seem like they are getting much more difficult, because at the same time you will be getting in much better shape!
Who should start with Advanced Resistance Training?
The workouts in this level are very advanced! If you are at an advanced fitness level, and push yourself hard in the gym on a regular basis, then you will love these workouts. They are great for competitive athletes for in-season or off-season training, or a fun workout for anyone at an advanced fitness level. If you try a workout in this section and you find out it’s a little too hard for you, then just regress back to the intermediate level. After working out in the intermediate level for a while, come back and try these workouts again.
Advanced Resistance Training Workout Description:
The workouts in this level go through the whole body using 7 supersets. In each superset the first exercise is in a stable environment and is done for 10 repetitions. The second exercise is in an unstable environment and is done for 12 repetitions. You are to do the second exercise immediately after the first, and then give yourself 60 seconds rest and repeat. In this workout you do all of the sets of the first superset before moving on to the second and so on. For workouts 1-8 you will do each superset 2 times, and for workouts 9-15 you will do each superset 3 times.
How often should I do the Advanced Resistance Training Workouts?
The workouts in this section can be done 3-4 days per week. If you have been doing resistance training 3 days a week for a while now, then adding another day might help boost your results. With 4 days of resistance training you still want to put a rest day in between each workout if possible. If you have an Ironman membership to this site, then another option for you is to do 2 Advanced Resistance Training workouts and 1 or 2 Maximum Burn workouts each week.
How Should I progress through these Advanced Resistance Training workouts?
You can progress through these workouts at your own pace. You can choose to do the same workout for all three workouts each week, do each workout twice before progressing , or progress to the next workout every time you work out. Everybody progresses at different speeds so you have to let your body tell you when you are ready to move on. Remember that a big part of getting in better shape and reaching your goals is going through the right progressions. If the first work out you do in the week is very hard, you may decide to repeat it for a few workouts or even go back to the previous workout for a few workouts. If it is pretty easy for you then you will probably want to progress sooner.
