Create AHAP Workout
Complete Guide to Creating a AHAP Workout Program in the WODEX App
AHAP stands for As Heavy As Possible, a training method designed to maximize strength, muscular endurance, and athletic performance by lifting the heaviest possible weight in each exercise. This type of training focuses on pushing the body’s limits to build raw power and muscle resilience.
In the WODEX app, creating AHAP workout programs is straightforward, with precise customization options to tailor the intensity and volume of each exercise. Below, you’ll find a step-by-step guide to effectively design your AHAP workouts.

Initial Settings for AHAP Workouts in WODEX
When designing an AHAP workout in WODEX, there are two optional settings at the top of the page that allow you to further personalize the training experience:
1. Rest Between Sets
This option lets you specify the rest time between sets, helping ensure that athletes have enough recovery to perform their best during each heavy lift.
- Customizable in minutes and seconds.
Example:
Setting a 2-minute rest between each set can help improve recovery time and prepare the athlete for the next heavy set.
2. Time Cap
The Time Cap allows you to set a total time limit for the entire workout. This helps keep the workout focused and ensures athletes can manage their energy levels effectively.
- Customizable in minutes and seconds.
Example:
Setting a 15-minute time cap means the workout must be completed within that time frame, ensuring a controlled and efficient workout structure.
Types of Rep Schemes in AHAP Workouts

When designing AHAP (As Heavy As Possible) workouts, you have several options for how to structure repetitions and sets. Below are some of the most effective rep schemes for this type of training:
1. Sets × Reps
In this model, both the number of sets and the repetitions per set are fixed. This is the most straightforward approach for designing heavy lifting workouts.
- Example:
3 sets × 5 reps.
The athlete performs each set with the designated number of reps, aiming to increase the weight with each set. - How It Works:
This model focuses on a set amount of repetitions per set. The athlete works through each set, aiming to lift as heavy as possible while maintaining proper form. Increasing weight with each set ensures that the athlete is continually challenging their strength and working towards progressive overload.
2. Pyramid Model
The Pyramid scheme is ideal for when you want to vary the number of reps per set. This method increases intensity by reducing the number of reps while increasing the weight for each subsequent set.
- Example:
- Set 1: 5 reps
- Set 2: 3 reps
- Set 3: 1 rep
- How It Works:
In the Pyramid model, the athlete starts with a higher number of reps (at a lighter weight) and gradually decreases the reps as the weight increases. This approach is excellent for testing maximum strength while still allowing the body to gradually adjust to heavier weights. The athlete’s focus is on lifting as much weight as possible with fewer reps, which promotes strength development.
Features and Benefits of AHAP Workouts
1. Focus on Strength and Muscle Mass
AHAP workouts are designed to push athletes to their limits by performing exercises with the heaviest weight possible. This approach is excellent for building strength and increasing muscle mass, as it forces the body to adapt to progressively heavier loads.
2. Flexibility in Design
With AHAP, you can customize your workout by using various rep schemes (such as Sets × Reps or Pyramid) to keep your routine fresh and challenging. This flexibility allows you to tailor each session to your specific goals, ensuring that every workout is productive and engaging.
3. Personalization of Rest and Workout Time
AHAP programming allows you to adjust rest intervals between sets and establish a time cap for the entire workout. This enables you to customize your training to your fitness level and recovery needs, ensuring optimal performance and progression.
4. Gradual Improvement
As you track the weights used in each session, AHAP workouts promote gradual improvements. By consistently pushing yourself to lift heavier weights over time, your strength and endurance will noticeably increase, leading to impressive gains in both power and muscle size.
Key Considerations When Designing AHAP Workouts
1. Gradually Increase Weight
The core objective of AHAP workouts is to progressively overload the muscles by increasing the weight with each session. Focus on lifting heavier weights while maintaining good form, and ensure that you’re challenging yourself every time.
2. Maintain Proper Form
As you increase the weights, it’s essential to maintain proper form. Lifting excessively heavy weights at the expense of technique can lead to injury, so always prioritize safe movement patterns, especially when lifting near your maximum capacity.
3. Choose Weights Appropriate for Your Ability
While it’s important to challenge yourself, the weight used should still be appropriate for your current strength level. Select weights that are challenging but not so heavy that they compromise your technique or put you at risk of injury.
4. Prioritize Adequate Recovery
Ensure that you’re allowing adequate rest between sets to fully recover, especially when working with heavy weights. Additionally, incorporate sufficient rest days between AHAP workouts to promote muscle recovery and avoid overtraining.
