35
Q

How can intermediate or advanced clients train 4+ days per week and have rest days

A

split routines: different muscle groups are trained on different days

36

upper body m/th lower body t/f

37
Q

during split routines, there should be at least this many hours of rest and recovery between working out the same body part

72 hours

38
Q

What to do on all days to support recovery

A

sleep, nutrition, hydration

39
Q

order of exercises

A

sequence of exercises within a single workout

40
Q

basic workout

A

arrange order so that fatigue caused by one exercise has the least possible impact on the capacity to perform the subsequent exercises

41
Q

for order of exercises, consider and combine the following

A

core v assistance exercise, muscle area in body, nature of the movement (push/pull)

42
Q

core v assistance exercise

A

power exercises first, core exercises second, assistance exercises third

43
Q

muscle area in body

A

try alternating upper and lower body and push and pull

44
Q

Load (weight)

A

weight to lift for a given exercise

45
Q

two methods of set load:

A

% of 1-RM and Repetition Maximum (RM)

46
Q

Repetition

A

a single movement cycle against a resistance

47
Q

set

A

a group of repetitions performed consecutively

48
Q

% 1-RM method to set load

A

determine client’s maximum strength for the exercise, max weight that can be lifted once with proper technique

49
Q

set training load based on

A

training goals as % of 1-RM

50
Q

Repetition maximum

A

most weight client can lift for a specified number of repetitions

51
Q

How to determine client’s 1-RM strength for exercise (method 1)?

A

progressively increase load to find max load client can lift 1x

52
Q

1-RM testing is reserved for:

A

resistance trained athletes who are classified as intermediate or advanced

53
Q

How to determine client’s 1-RM strength for exercise (method 2)?

A

use submaximal loads to predict the max load client can lift 1x

54
Q

%1-RM method example

A

-client wants to increase strength of bench press
-estimated 1-RM for bench press = 75lb
-intermediate client will train 85% 1RM for strength
-load to train at: 65 lbs

55
Q

RM based method

A

decide how many reps you want the client to perform when exercising, trainer tries increasing loads to find the max load the client can lift the desired number of times

56
Q

%1-RM alone is a ___ way to set training load

A

poor

57
Q

Repetition-Volume

A

total number of reps in a training session

58
Q

load-volume

A

total amount of weight lifted in a training session

59
Q

load-volume depends on

A

number of reps, weight lifted, and number of sets

60
Q

rest periods

A

time between multiple sets of same exercise, or different exercises for the same muscle group, within the same session

61
Q

types of sets

A

straight set, super set, compound set, circuit training, drop sets

62
Q

straight set

A

standard set and rest pattern

63
Q

compound set (Advanced)

A

2 exercise sets in a sequence work the same muscle group

64
Q

super sets (adv)

A

2 exercise sets in a sequence stress antagonistic muscle groups with no rest between

65
Q

circuit training

A

resistance exercises for whole body and sets are performed with minimal rest periods

66
Q

drop sets (adv)

A

3-4 exercise sets of the same exercise, performed in a sequence without rest, using a lighter weight on each set

67
Q

variation is to:

A

-lower risk of overtraining
-lower risk of injuries
-relieve boredom
-maintain training intensity
-stimulate muscle groups in different ways
-keep improvement happening

68
Q

variation can happen by:

A

-changing program variables
-variety within workout
-variety across workouts

69
Q

pyramid training

A

set 1: 75% 1RM 10 reps
set 2: 80% 1RM 8 reps
set 3: 85% 1RM 6 reps

70
Q

heavy and light days

A

heavy: first day in week you do an exercise, use load calculated as shown previously
light: second day in week you do an exercise, use 80% calculated, same number reps

71
Q

progression

A

client will plateau in gains if progression in training stimulus is not provided when needed

72
Q

can increase training stimulus by

A
  • increase frequency per week
  • increasing number of exercises
  • increasing number of sets
  • increasing speed of movement
  • increasing load
  • decrease rest period
  • more difficult versions of exercise
73
Q

progression of load 2 for 2 rule

A

if the client can perform two or more reps over his or her assigned rep goal in the last set in two consecutive workouts for a given exercise, progression or stimulus should be made

74
Q

progression of overload

A

it is hard to make progress without overload, overload means more challenging

75
Q

progression of more difficult versions of exercise:

A

-change your position, change hand/foot width and angles, body position/angle
-change the type of resistance
-go from bilateral to unilateral
-add a realistic balance challenge
-do more compound movements

76
Q

progression and training will not and should not be planned or envisioned as a

A

staircase, don’t always increase load, just increase difficulty, which can mean less weight

77
Q

according to NSCA text, adults should do muscle strengthening exercises involving major muscle groups 2 or more days/wk, what else do they say

A

-weight training, resistance bands, body weight, calisthenics, heavy gardening
-perform to point where it would be difficult to do another rep
