Basically you take any weight around your 5RM as a starting weight(you can even start at 3RM!).
Increase starting weight by about 20-30% when 12 reps are performed on the first set.
I do reverse pyramid super sets so it looks like this:
Leg Press first set: 200kg (did 5 reps)
Calf Press first set: 220 kg (did 4 reps)
Leg Press second set: 200kg - 10% + 5 reps + 1
Calf Press second set: 200kg - 10% + 4 reps + 1
Leg Press third set: 200kg - 20% + 5 reps + 2
Calf Press third set: 200kg - 20% + 4 reps + 2
Aim to do as many sets as you can on the first set.
For every 10% decrease, add one rep.
No rest between sets, the muscles used are rested while walking to the next exercise/training the other half of the superset.
Best way to set this split up in a week:
week 1: Torso/Limbs/Rest/Limbs/Torso/Rest/Rest
week 2: Limbs/Torso/Rest/Torso/Limbs/Rest/Rest
There's variation in the amount of reps (3-12) and as you will be adding reps at least every week and the weight will increase overtime, so you have progression there.
What do you guys think?
