//// BULLET BAND™: REPS AND SETS

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 resistance 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)

(Resistance can be increased by increasing distance from the anchor point. Do not extend band more than twice it’s resting length)

PROPER FORM

When trying movements for the first time, use less resistance with the goal of being able to perform all movements without breaking form. Do not push through or ignore aches and pains as you perform any movement.

ADDITIONAL EXERCISES:

Visit SKLZ.com for in-depth training and product videos.

PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE

Progressive resistance is a concept that states you should be able to lift more weight 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.
