Pyramid training is one of the most basic techniques in bodybuilding workouts. Chances are you’ve done pyramid sets before, whether you realize it or not. Pyramiding is simply starting with light weight for higher reps (usually 12–15) and then increasing the weight and reducing the reps with each set. As the weight lifted goes up, the repetitions performed goes down, and if you were to draw it out on a graph it would resemble the shape of a pyramid, hence the name.

The advantage of pyramid sets is that you have progressively heavier warm up sets built into your workout. The lighter weight higher-rep sets that you start with will prepare your body to handle the heavier weights and lower reps as you progress with each set.

The benefit of pyramiding your weights and reps like this is to stimulate all your muscle fibers for optimal growth. Especially the type 2A fast twitch muscle fibers that are used for higher volume strength training, and the type 2B fast twitch muscle fibers that are used for heavier lower volume strength training. By working through high, medium, and low rep ranges you’ll make improvements in power, hypertrophy, and conditioning.
