The Pyramid set scheme is a classic endurance workout that incorporate lots of reps into a short amount of time. Better yet, it requires a little bit of math, requiring you to use your brain as you get more and more exhausted. You will be starting with low reps for each drill (1 Pistol Squat, 2 Push Ups, and 3 Leg Raises), then double the reps until you get to the top of the pyramid (in this case, 3 Pistol Squats, 8 Push Ups, and 12 Leg Raises). But you can’t stay at the top of the pyramid! You have to come back down! You’ll be required to descend the pyramid, cutting reps in half until you get back to the 1, 2, 3 set. Good luck!
