When you are training in the gym it is important to lay a good ground work. Pyramid workout sets will be very helpful: they will warm up certain muscle groups and joints and at the same time they will train supporting muscles.
 Pyramid training means that you should start exercising at the base and work your way to the top. This type of workout is known as one of the safest.
The example of the bench press exercise:
Set 1 – 135 x 12 reps
Set 2 – 150 x 10 reps
Set 3 – 165 x 8 reps
Set 4 – 180 x 6 reps
Set 5 – 195 x 4 reps
Set 6 – 210 x 2 reps
The technique of the pyramid training has been used for many years and it still remains very popular and is known as the most effective way to train bench press. The above example of bench press is only one of the numerous ways of the pyramid training. However the basic principle of all pyramid workouts should be the same. You should start with a light warm up; then you should do increasingly heavier sub-maximal effort lead-in sets up to a 100% set. If you manage to perform this set you can add five pounds and do one more repetition of high intense exercises.
Due to pyramid training your muscles will be properly overloaded and worked very effectively. This technique is very useful for the beginners because it is basic. However you are able to involve pyramid training into all workout routines even if you have been lifting weights before that.
The main principle of the pyramid training is to use more weight in order to make your muscles stronger. The stronger you become the more weight you can lift. The weight should be increased each week and you need to perform one repetition for that exercise. You must use a spotter and warm up properly before the exercise.
