Multi-set training:

Multi-set training means that the specified number of sets per exercise are performed one after the other.

The idea behind multi-set training is that repeating an exercise several times causes progressive fatigue of the muscle, resulting in an increased training effect. This form of organisation is the most common variant in strength training. As several sets per exercise (3-8) are often performed at an appropriate performance level, the time required for an advanced training session increases significantly with this form.

Conscious breathing:

Breathing should be aligned with the effort. Exhale during the effort and inhale during the return movement.

Avoid compressed breathing:

When breathing under pressure, avoid exhaling. Pressed breathing should be avoided as it can have a negative effect on the heart and circulation, especially in older people.

Torso stability:

The statics in the torso must not be lost. Swinging, twisting or writhing of the body should be avoided.

Slow movements:

The speed should be deliberately slow. Two seconds is ideal for a movement sequence, which also applies to the return movement. If necessary, you can overcome the load more quickly (more explosively), but the weight should still be returned slowly.
