REP SCHEME: WAVE
What? In this case we did a 9 min EMOM using a 3-2-1 rep range aka 9x3/2/1/3/2/1/4/2/1
How? Complete first wave by decreasing reps and increasing load each set. Start second wave at a slightly higher percentage than first wave and again increase intensity for third wave aka wave 1: 70%/75%/80% wave 2: 75%/80%/85% wave 3: 80%/85%/90%
Why? Forced adaptation through varying volume and intensity. Central nervous system primer. Strength. Hypertrophy.
As we start each new wave, the weight decreases relative to the end of the previous wave, yet we are still able to reach higher percentages through each wave due to neurological adaptations making each “drop” in weight feel lighter than it would without the previous wave.
