How To Read Our Programming

Posted August 12, 2013 by Ryan Savard in Blog

Dennis testing aerobic capacity through a 60 min row.

What does A1, A2, B1, B2, mean? How do I follow the sets? What does the rest portion mean? What do some common abbreviations mean?

We will use a typical multi-movement resistance training workout that could be prescribed for class:

A1. High Bar Back Squat @ 30X0, 4-6 reps x 5 sets, rest 120 sec

A2. Chest to Bar Pull-ups, AMRAP x 5 sets, rest 120 sec

B1. KBS – 2 pd, 21 reps x 4 sets, rest 30 sec

B2. Ring Dips, 21 reps x 4 sets, rest 30 sec

In this workout you move through exercise A1 at the prescribed (rx’d) tempo, for the rx’d reps, you then rest for the rx’d amount of time (exactly) after the set is completed. Following the rest you do exercise A2 at the rx’d tempo, for the rx’d reps, you then rest for the rx’d amount of time after the set is completed. You then proceed back to A1. This alternation continues until the rx’d number of sets are completed for each exercise. For the above, this would mean 5 sets through A1/A2, with 120 seconds rest between each set.

Once you have completed the A1/A2 series, you move to B1. You start B1, 120 seconds after your last set of A2. This style of workout can go into C1/C2, D1/D2, or A1/A2/A3/A4/A5/A6. Nothing changes, you simply following the rx’d order of exercises, the rx’d tempo, the rx’d reps, the rx’d sets.
