I like Pyramid training as it's in the middle between the Pyrahigh, and Pyralow...

[DanPeters]

Turns out I flat load flat pyramid train without having realised I was doing it. I'll take my PHd now thank you.

I subscribed with the specific goal of helping your channel get big enough that I can enjoy videos of V-Shred struggling to read/repeat your scripts.

The Egyptians figured out pyramid training way ahead of our time

BOLD of you to assume I WOULDN'T want to watch multiple hours of your content, mr black glasses saitama!

Been doing both flat loading and that reverse double pyramid thing when I trained powerlifting. Never thought about it like a training scheme, just through trial and error we found that it works great. A couple of warmup sets with gradually increasing weight seemed to work well and you still had energy when you got to the actual training weight.

I love pyramid training. It's a great way of attaining volume, while hitting the three M's (mechanical overload, muscle damage and metabolic stress).

Many of us are very thankful that you give Thibadeau the recognition he deserves.

I just hope you see this comment
Because I want you to know you're one of the best fitness channels on YouTube and I know you don't need any encouraging from someone like me but still I want to do my part so keep it up🤘💪

I use a basic pyramid when I workout, going heavier on each set: 15-12-10-8-6, then go to a lighter weight for a 15 rep burnout.

So basically a feeder set style with progressive warm up sets until you get to your working sets.

I like using a pyramid scheme for my workouts and I have seen great gains, it is an older workout but check it out...Set 1 I use a washcloth for 12-15 reps...Set 2 I use a hand towel for 8-10 reps...Set 3 I use a bath towel for 6-8 reps and finally Set 4 I use a beach towel for 1-3 reps...It really works and I have plenty to wipe sweat off with...Give it a try

Impeccable timing with this one. I've been getting bored with my 5x5 (still progressing, but it's feeling monotonous) and I think the double pyramid method - start at the weight du jour, then add/subtract the % differences per round - is the spice it needs. Thanks, James!

Couple of warm up sets and then reverse pyramid is what I like to do 👍 love your content

[Gg]

I look forward to your videos every week man. You helped me find the truth in the fitness industry!

Love your sense of humour keep'em coming!

I've been doing the flat pyramid for 27 years without knowing there was a name for it. I tried every version you named and by trial and error that one just worked the best for me and was the most comfortable.

I would be very interested in additional Pyramid Training videos

I really thought the Rock had a human skin draped over him
