TRAINING GUIDE

REPS AND SETS: A GENERAL GUIDELINE
Reps and sets are a way to track progress with your training. This is a general guide.
Programs will vary depending on your specific needs, goals, off-season or in-season,
experience, etc.
AS A GENERAL GUIDELINE TO START:
» 8-10 repetitions for 2-3 sets when training for strength (moderate to heavy weight with
focus on proper form and control).
» 4-6 repetitions for 3-5 sets when training for power (moderate resistance with increase in
speed of movement.
PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE
Progressive resistance is a concept that states you should be able to lift more weights
or do more repetitions each time you perform an exercise. As you progress through any
training phase, increase the resistance when your prescribed repetitions decrease. When
the prescribed repetitions increase, decrease the resistance accordingly. You may also
need to adjust your repetitions, sets, and resistance if you are not seeing improvements in
your goals.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Belt is machine washable. Hang dry. Do not tumble dry.

When attaching the bands, start with clipping them to the belt. Clip one 7.5 inch
resistance band on the right ring and one 7.5 inch resistance band on the left ring.
NOTE: The 7.5 inch band is recommended for beginners. For an advanced workout,
add the additional 5.5 inch bands to each side for resistance up to 80 lbs.
4.
Kneel or sit in a comfortable, stable chair and then connect the resistance bands to the
ankle straps. Slowly stand up and begin workout.
NOTE: Connect the band on the right to the right ankle strap. Connect the band on the
left to the left ankle strap.
IMPORTANT
HOPZ REMOVAL –
