Pump Set Help
#1
Hi all, 

Just looking for some help with pump sets please. 

I understand that they are auto regulated etc and great opportunities to work on weak points and form but I always just feel a bit stuck on what to do for the best. 

What have you guys found works best? Do many of you just do high rep straight sets? Is there a particular pump set technique, outlined in the book, that you have had better results from (I appreciate different ones will work better person to person but I'm just curious). 

I do love 5's in the hole but they are barbaric!!

Looking forward to hearing back from you. 

Thanks

Hey man,

For me I start with normal rep tempo e.g. 2 Sec - Eccentric, 1 Sec Concentric. When the pump and burning start, I start to increase TUT. I use 5 Sec - Eccentric, 1 Sec Concentric. Then I start to mix them with 5 Sec Iso hold at Concentric then switch to 5 Sec Iso hold at eccentric and transition between these stages.

This system especially works best with all cable exercises for Chest - Shoulders - Back and Arms. Moreover for legs, Leg Extensions and Curls are also good candidates.

Hope this helps
