Explanation
Pyramid training is the resistance method characterized by progressively increasing or decreasing weight across sets in a structured sequence.
Common mistakes.
- B. A superset pairs two exercises performed back-to-back with minimal rest, typically targeting opposing or same muscle groups, and does not involve a structured weight progression pattern.
- C. Negative set training focuses on the eccentric (lowering) phase of a movement using supramaximal loads and is not defined by a light-to-heavy or heavy-to-light set progression.
- D. Volume training emphasizes total workload through a high number of sets and repetitions and is not defined by a specific directional weight progression across sets.
