I want to do a 4 day split with a pyramid system. On Day 1 I would do Quads and Hamstrings, Day 2 Chest and Tricep, Day 3 Back and Biceps and Day 4 Shoulders and Abs. Now with pyramid training, on Day 1 for example, I would do the pyramid once though for an exercise for the quads and once through with hamstrings correct? Or do I do 2 exercises for each body part so 2 different exercises for the quads and 2 exercises for the hamstrings and follow the pyramid system? I would do a modified pyramid like this:
Set 1, 12 reps say at 5 lbs
Set 2, 10 reps at 8 lbs
Set 3, 8 reps at 10 lbs
Set 4, 10 reps at 8 lbs
Set 5, 12 reps at 5 lbs again and resting 30 seconds between sets
Sorry for all the questions, I just can't seem to find something I enjoy doing and thought maybe this will do the trick. I have to admit I HATE EXERCISE of any type and have to force myself to do it !!!! I actually tried an old Joyce Vedral book this morning *Bottoms Up" and hated it - too long. I want to be able to do my weight training in 30 - 45 minutes. HELP!
