Also if you take too long of a rest inbetween your losing the affect? |
Yes, wave loading or pyramids are when you increase/decrease weight. An example would be 1X3, 1X6, 1X3, 1X6 (you would obviously increase and decrease weight). I think pyramids are a great thing. You might google Ian King and wave loading
Trainees have shown improvement with linear periodization (set sets/reps/weight), conjugate periodization, and etc. They are all just tools for a goal.
