Repetition and exercise tempos for stability, muscle endurance, hypertrophy, strength and power. Effects of training to failure, super slow tempos, tempo vs load, and physiology of tempo training. 

Acute Variables: Repetition Tempo

Repetition ranges per set for stability, muscle endurance, hypertrophy, maximal strength, and power. Effects of repetition range on hormones, muscle size, performance, and upper limits.

Acute Variables: Repetition Range

The advantage of circuit training protocols is a reduction in session time by 35 - 60 %. This is especially true when attempting to allow for an ideal amount of rest between sets for similar muscle groups (2-3 minutes).

Acute Variables: Circuit Training

How long should you rest between sets to optimize set performance and maximally improve strength, hypertrophy, and power?

Acute Variables: Rest Between Sets

One-set per muscle group (2 sets/lower body muscle group) is recommended during an initial training period (6-12 weeks), followed by a progressive increase up to 3 - 4 sets per muscle group. Individuals with the goal of optimizing hypertrophy, strength, and/or power should likely not exceed 5-6 sets/muscle group. 

Acute Variables: Sets Per Muscle Group

Acute Variables: Training Frequency and Recovery Between Sessions

Stability Training: An exercise or rehabilitation program designed to enhance the body's ability to stabilize (maintain or regain balance). A stability training program prioritizes exercise progression over increasing repetitions, sets, load, or speed.
