    Charles Poliquin: "When training for relative strength, the following loading parameters apply:

    Loading Parameters of Maximal Weights

    Intensity: 85-100%
    Repetitions: 1-5 RM
    Sets: 5-12
    Rest Intervals: 4-5 minutes
    Concentric Tempo: 1-4 seconds*
    Eccentric Tempo: 3-5 seconds*
    Total Set Duration: Under 20 seconds*

    Because of the high number of sets you'll be doing for this type of routine, you'll only need to do one to three exercises per workout. You could, however, do as many as four if you pair agonists and antagonists together, as opposed to working agonists alone.

    Researchers have found that the ability to achieve full motor unit activation (MUA) is enhanced when immediately proceeded by a contraction of the agonists. For example, after doing a 3-repetition maximum (RM) set of close-grip triceps presses, rest 2 to 3 minutes and perform a a 3- to 4-RM set of dumbbell curls for the biceps. Rest 2 to 3 minutes and repeat for the required amount of sets.

    This method has the added benefit of allowing you to double the workload per training session."
