Writing Assignments

1. The learner must demonstrate proper technique in performing multi-joint and isolation type exercises for each of the major muscle groups. 2. The learner must demonstrate proper spotting techniques used during forced reps, negative reps, and eccentric contraction. 3. The learner must demonstrate proper spotting techniques used during heavy lifts with both free weights and machines.

Out-of-class Assignments

1.  Student will perform workouts assigned for mass, strength, endurance, and sculpture. 2.  Students will perform assigned workouts to experience using circuits, super circuits, super sets, giant sets, half and full pyramids, reps to failure, and pre-exhaustion techniques. 3.  Students will keep written records of all workouts in and outside of class.

Demonstration of Critical Thinking

1.  The learner must explain the difference in weight training programs designed for mass, strength, endurance, and general conditioning. 2.  The learner must compare specific exercises done with free weights and machine and explain the advantages and disadvantages of each.
