| *If problem is skill/technique/strength/power/speed do less reps per set |
| **If problem is endurance or speed endurance do more reps per set and less sets |
| ***If working on pacing: rest 5s between sets a slong as possible, then 10s, 15s, 30s and so on. |
| ****If trying to increase avg # per set-general guideline: if avg 3 or less reps = 7 sets minimum, if avg 5 or more = 5 sets minimum, if avg 10+ 3 sets minimum) |
