Isometric Training
Focuses on static exercises where the muscle length does not change during contraction. Often used for rehabilitation and for strengthening stagnant positions.
Concurrent Training
Combines resistance and endurance training in a single workout session. It is effective for improving overall fitness and performance, though it may limit maximum strength gains.
Pyramid Training
Involves increasing or decreasing weight with each set, while inversely decreasing or increasing reps. Commonly used for building strength and muscle size.
Drop Sets
Involves performing an exercise to failure, then reducing the weight and continuing for more reps until failure. Typically used to break through muscle gain plateaus.
Supersets
Involves two exercises performed in succession without rest. Can be used for the same muscle group (to increase intensity) or opposing muscle groups (for balance and time efficiency).
Split Training
Divides training routines by muscle groups or movement patterns, typically over a week, allowing for targeted workouts and recovery time for each group.
Occlusion Training
Involves restricting blood flow to the working muscle by applying a wrap or cuff. Helps in muscle hypertrophy by using lighter weights. It's primarily used under supervision due to its risks.
Circuit Training
Involves performing a series of exercises, one after the other, with minimal rest. Typical use case would be for improving muscular endurance and cardiovascular fitness.
German Volume Training
Consists of performing 10 sets of 10 reps with the same weight for a single exercise, with the goal of rapidly increasing muscle volume. Intended for advanced lifters.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
Alternates between short bursts of intense anaerobic exercise and less-intense recovery periods. Frequently used for fat loss and improving cardiovascular health.
