So – here is the workout listed – I assume that I just start where comfortable and then progress up the ladder as I can on subsequent workouts – yes?

Nomenclature:
Workout #1-
Do 4 sets of 50 repetitions of the 1/2 squat using 24-30% of your 1 rep max. Time this set. Rest 2x the duration of this 50 rep set between each set.

Workout Progression:
#1 4x 50reps. rest 2x work time /set
#2 5x 50reps. rest 2x work time /set
#3 5x 50reps. rest 1.5x work time / set
#4 5x 70reps. rest 1.5x work time / set
#5 4x 80reps. rest 1x work time / set
#6 3x 100reps. rest 2x work time / set
#7 6x 50reps. rest 1x work time / set
#8 8x 50reps. rest 1x work time / set
#9 6x 50reps. rest 0.5x work time / set
#10 8x 50reps. rest 0.5x work time / set

Jim:
Sorry, but I don’t understand the question. Start WO#1 with 4 sets of 50 reps using 25-30% of 1RM (one rep max) resting 2x the duration of the 50 rep set. Yes, you progress up the ladder from workout to workout. What is it that is unclear?

Do I Progress after some time also with weight? First few workouts with my 30% 1rm were challenging but now it doesn’t feel heavy at all. Thanks

The progression in this workout comes from the reduction in rest time between the sets. Read carefully the instructions. I don’t think you will want to try to increase the weight AND decrease the rests. Unless you are a total beast 🙂
