Heavy-Duty
Bodybuilding Intensity Training Techniques is a name applied to
different approaches to bodybuilding workout. For some, it involves a lot of
extended sets - that is, following your regular repetitions with forced
reps, negatives, forced negatives, and partial reps to exhaustion. We
always used the term to mean going right to the heaviest weight you can
handle (after warming up) rather than pyramiding up - that is, gradually
increasing weight and decreasing reps.
If we could
do strict Dumbbell Curls with, say, 65 pounds, rather than slowly
working up to that weight we would do two light warm-up sets and then
immediately pick up the 65-pound dumbbells and do our normal amount of
reps and sets with that heavy poundage, forcing our biceps to work to
their maximum from beginning to end. The key to Heavy Duty training
method is not to use a weight too heavy for you to do your normal amount
of sets and reps - say 5 sets of 8 to 12 reps. If you can do only 6 to 7
reps, the weight is too heavy.
