The Daily Adjustable Progressive Resistive Exercise (DAPRE) Method is used to step up exercise resistance in standard increments based on a percentage of the target weight. You start with a certain target weight, lets say 25 pounds. Then you would perform 4 sets using the rules in the table below:
Set | Repetitions | % of target Weight |
---|---|---|
1 | 15 | 50% |
2 | 12 | 75% |
3 | Max | 100% |
4 | Max | See Table 2 |
Reps Performed | 4th set Weight | Next session target weight |
---|---|---|
< 12 | Decrease 5-10 lbs | No Change |
12-15 | No Change | No Change |
> 15 | Increase 5-10 lbs | Increase 5-10 lbs |
