Workout Technique Guide

Pyramid Sets

Change load and reps across sets. Useful for ramping up effort and controlling progression.

When Ken Uses It

Good for clients who like structure and progressive challenge.

Coaching Rule

Use the method to improve the result, not just to make the workout harder. The client must still move well, recover well, and understand the purpose.

Example: 12 / 10 / 8 / 12 Pyramid

Increase weight for 12, 10, 8 reps, then reduce for a final 12-rep back-off set.

How To Progress It

Month 1: learn the format and keep effort controlled. Month 2: add a set, round, or slightly more load. Month 3: increase intensity only if form, recovery, and confidence are strong.
