Exercise Science - Strength

Notes were taken from the Exercise Physiology class of Dr. Shawn Arent of Rutgers University.

Weight Training:

*Get your 1 rep max for each exercise as your percentages are based off this number.

To find your percentages you can use this easy site:

Percentages

*Know your goal (a)strength: at least 85% for 6 reps or less
(b)hypertrophy (muscle building): - 67%-85% for between 8-12 reps
(c)muscle endurance (toning, fat burning): 67% or less for more 12+ reps

*Do at least 3 sets of each exercise you choose
