50% Sets
50% sets are similar to rest pause sets. I got these from Paul Carter at LIFT-RUN-BANG. 50% sets.
This gives you two targets in the workout to aim for and to make progress.
If you don't get a PR on the first set, you still have the chance on the second set and try and get more total reps over the two sets
- Do a set to failure, or technical failure.
- Rest 1 minute.
- Do another set with the same weight aiming to get half the reps that you did for the first set.
- Do 180kg pounds x 12
- Rest 60 seconds
- 180kg. Aim for at least six reps
