Thread: Full body workout loading parameters

Don't make it complicated. On the heavy day you're going to want to use a minimum of 80-85% of your 1RM. Do 3-5 sets of 4-6 repetitions or so, maybe a bit heavier on one or two exercises. Medium day will probably be more in the hypertrophy range. Something like 3-4 sets of 8-10 repetitions would probably be best, using your 10-12RM or so. Light day could be only slightly lighter than medium day, or you could focus on endurance. 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions using somewhere 70% or less of your 1RM would be a good range to work with.

Also, why supersetting only every other week?

week1 - regular set up
week2 - supersets for heavy, medium, light days
week3 - regular set up
week4 - supersets for heavy, medium, light days
week5 - deload

so on and so forth

What kind of supersets did you plan on using? Are you talking antagonist, upper/lower, or what? If don't see the need to cycle that kind of thing out, but I suppose it couldn't hurt.
