Physical Fitness Asked on October 26, 2021
What is difference between the two different training protocols.
Fixed sets * fixed reps * progressive weight
Versus
Fixed repetitions * progressive time.
Say you can do 50 repetitions in 5 minutes, and the next session you try doing them in 4 minutes and a half and so one until you are able to do them non stop.
The time doesn't matter unless you're doing static holds or cardio. The speed does however, finishing a set early... Finishing 50 reps in 4 mins instead of 5 is a question of speed. Going fast or using speed during exercise will increase plyometric strength and velocity. Doing this builds up your speed rather than mass. Using the equation:
Force =mass*acceleration
You're building acceleration rather than muscle to increase force output.
Slow tempo builds mass not just because of the equation above but because it can increase time under tension and create more metabolic stress.
To sum up, timed exercises using anything that's not static or cardio will increase speed, which can increase strength. Burner sets, where you do amap reps in a set time after a muscle workout are designed to get your blood flowing, since your muscles are weakened by this time to build acceleration
