Selection of Weight in Weightlifting Program
To some this question is complex, to others it is simple. The fact of the matter is that this question is not only subjective (to some extent), but also needs to be frequently revised based on every person’s regiment. This is where fitness gyms with Weight lifting Programs and centers play a vital role.
Like any approach to any and every method of training, you need to start with basic structures. Three basic structures are the Bulgarian Style, Varying Maximal, planned progress, mix
- Bulgarian Style: Many have a fairly rough idea as to what this exactly is, in this fundamental approach a person simply aims to lift maximal singles in lifts and squats, daily. Occasionally some doubles in the squat sets, the second set can be a back-off set (BOS) after the single one. All you need is to figure out the correct volume and frequency as per goals and max ability.
- Varying Maximal: this approach is simply like the Bulgarian in terms of ‘maxing it out, but unlike the Bulgarian style as it incorporates necessary BOS, planned BOS, and/or surprise BOS. It uses multiple exercises with varying repetitions whereas the Bulgarian only uses the singles in squats and lifts.
- Planned Progress: Otherwise known as the traditional approach to weightlifting, the athlete prescribes intensities, repetitions, and sets that set on producing the desired results. This can also be done by way of not assigning weights beforehand, rather select the weight according to the ‘feel’ of the athlete or as per the coach Personal training coach in the USA. Both sub-approaches have the same outcome: progression over a specified period of time. This is usually done as the lifter is not familiar with his or her maxes.
- Mix: However since aforementioned, these approaches are subjective to every individual based on their goal(s), physique, time allocated for the gym, you can choose an amalgamation of pieces of these above approaches to create something that suits you!
