Pyramid sets in strength training: what are they and why are they good?

Want to mix up your training while still getting stronger? Here’s why pyramid sets could be the answer.
There are so many different ways to get stronger. You can use your bodyweight, lift barbells in low rep sessions or get sweaty with supersets. And if you’re looking for another way to challenge the body and mind, try pyramid sets.
“Strength training is so important, but often we get uninspired or hit a plateu,” says Faye Edwards, fitness coach and manager of Third Space. “Having different training protocols, such as pyramid sets, will always keep you interested, make training a bit more exciting and keep the muscles responding as you work through different movements.”
