A 3-Day Powerbuilding Split

TermS

The following is a Double Split Routine

This means you will be alternating workouts weekly.

Week 1: All workouts of split A


Week 2: All workouts of split B

Pyramiding

Pyramiding means starting your working sets at a chosen rep range (e.g., 8-10 or 12-15),
aiming to fail on the last set. Increase weight each set and stay in the target rep range. On
the final set, reach failure. If you picked weight that’s a little too light and you have to
exceed the rep range to reach failure, go for it. This means you’re definitely ready to bump
up the weight next time.

Super Sets (S/S)

A super set is where you perform 2 exercises back-to-back.

Drop Sets, Double Drop Sets & Single Drop Sets

Drop Sets – Drop the weight after hitting failure aiming for 3-4 sets/drops.

Double Drop Sets – Drop the weight twice after performing first set to failure.

Single Drop Set – Drop the Weight Once after performing first set to failure.
Straight Sets

Straight sets involve performing a set number of sets with a certain weight.
Examples of straight sets:

10 Sets of 10 Barbell Squats – 2/3 min rest max

5 Sets of 5 Barbell Bench Press – 1/3 min rest max

Rep Out Sets

A rep out set is an all-out set you perform after hitting your heaviest possible weights.

The aim is to flush the target muscle with blood and get the body used to lower loads at

higher reps.
