General Lingo FAQ - 'Working Sets' / Rep Ranges / etc.

• What are working sets?

  • After you complete your ‘warmup’ or building sets (see ‘how do I warm-up to my lifts?’) then your working sets will begin.

  • When the program says Back Squat 3x 6-8 that means you will do 3 working sets of 6-8 reps of the Back Squat

• 6-8 reps - how many do I do?

  • If the program says 3x 6-8 back squats you should always aim to do the higher number of reps in the set

  • If the weight is too heavy to complete all 8 reps for all of the working sets, then make sure to record that (ie 2x 8 + 1x 6) this will tell your coach that it may be time to ‘de-load’ the lift

• What does “Back Squat 3x 6-8 rest :60” mean?

  • Movement: Back Squat

  • Sets: 3

  • Reps: 6-8

  • Rest after ‘working sets: 60 seconds
