Question

Luis strength trains two times per week. He uses 12-pound weights and performs three sets of eight repetitions. He wants to improve his frequency. What should he do?

Increase to 10 repetitions.
Increase to 15-pound weights.
Increase to four sets.
Increase to three times per week.

Answer 1

Increase to 10 repetitions. Increasing repetitions increases the frequency of each period (or set). It will be increased by 2 for every set Luis does. The other choices may increase resistance, or amount of sets done but do not affect frequency.
