Notes from Torokhtiy Coaching Team:
This program is designed for those already with 6+ months of general weight training experience
No matter the prescribed load, form is always priority at this stage of training
Athletes must be sure, that it is even better to decrease working weight in upcoming sets if they felt that previous one was with comprising quality
Weight selection:
LIGHT
This weight won't strain your muscles significantly. You can focus on perfecting your technique. After finishing all reps, you should feel capable of doing 4-5 more, with slight muscle fatigue, slightly faster breathing, and a slightly elevated pulse.
MEDIUM
This is a moderate working weight. You need both physical and mental concentration. After completing a set, you should have about 2-3 reps left in the tank, significant muscle fatigue, and quicker breathing.
CHALLENGING
This is a heavy working weight, requiring intense physical and mental focus. After a set, you should have only 1-2 reps left in the tank, significant muscle fatigue, and rapid breathing.
