Ten to one’s is a training method that I occasionally use for bodyweight conditioning. In this method you perform 10 reps of a sequence of exercises, then 9 reps, 8 reps ….. For example, I took some boxers through a series last night that was made up of:
- jumping jacks
- burpees
- pushups
I generally program short breaks between circuits so that it is performed as a high intensity interval training session.

It is important to train with a variety of set and repetition patterns. Unfortunately many people stay with the bodybuilder style 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions for years at a time. For a change try the 5 sets of 5 repetitions approach. It is a good approach to getting bigger and stronger that has been used for years, especially in the sports performance arena. Try it out in your basic lifts e.g. benches, squats and deadlifts.

Have you been on the same training program for 6-8 weeks or more?
If so, are you getting the results you want?
If so, great!, if not, perhaps it’s time for a program change. If you have been doing full body workouts, change to a split. If you have been on a split, try a full body program for a while. If you have been doing high volume training, give low volume a go and vice versa. Remember you can always come back to your current routine later and you may well find that the change means that you start making even more progress.
