Save time on your workout: Part 2 – Myo-reps

June 1, 2024


In a normal set, the first reps are easy and only the last reps are hard. These hard reps can be described as effective reps. With myo-reps, the goal is to get more effective reps in less time.

This method is best used for hypertrophy.

 

Myo-rep example:

Perform the first set for as many reps as possible with 1-2 reps from failure. You will want to a weight that puts you in the 10-15 reps.

Rest 20-40 seconds.

Then perform 3-5 sets to failure with 20-40 seconds between.

 

Here’s what it might look like

12 reps x 50kg@8

Rest 20s

5 reps x 50kg, Rest 20s

4 reps x 50kg, Rest 20s

3 reps x 50kg, Rest 20s

3 reps x 50kg, Rest 20s

3 reps x 50kg
