Ladder Rep Scheme

February 9th, 2010 · 3:50 pm   -  5 Comments

A “ladder” is a rep scheme that involves working up from one number of repetitions to another over a series of sets.  This is a very effective method for building strength.  A common example is to use a load that allows you to comfortably perform 5 reps, and then choose how many ladders you want to do.

If you want to do 5 ladders of 5 reps, this would be designated as 5 (1,2,3,4,5).  To complete this routine doing a single-arm lift like kettlebell presses or snatches, you would do 1 rep on left arm, 1 rep on the right arm, 2 reps on the left arm, 2 reps on the right arm, and continue in this way until you hit 5 reps.  That’s 1 ladder completed on each arm, with 4 more to go.  So you would repeat the process all over again four more times, and by the end of this you would have done a whopping 75 reps per arm.  You can apply this scheme to any exercise.

Hope this helps.
