I support you in all you do. Good luck, guys

smitdavi · 10-16-2008, 02:23 PM

Would you guys rather do a full set with lesser weight or bump the weight up and go till failure? That's what I'm struggling with right now.

I consider failure to be a full set, David....guess it is semantics.

Stig · 10-16-2008, 02:32 PM

Gotcha....I've been bumping up the weights at the end of sets, and instead of being able to do the full 10 or 12 reps I can really only do about 5-7 at this higher weight. I just didn't know if I should leave it at the lower weight and do the full 10 to 12 reps or if it was cool to do the higher weight with only 5-7 reps.

Sean9689 · 10-16-2008, 02:42 PM

Have a bit of a cold so I skipped out today. I'm super sore from Tuesday...doing some core training mixed with weights & machines.

I mix it up every other workout, sometimes 10-15 reps to faliure, sometimes 4-6.

I remember reading about one guy(can't remember who) but he never liked the idea to lift to failure, said you are training yourself to fail.
I agree with Tom though if you lift to failure that is a full set.

maybe try a weight in the middle of the two ends and try for 10, do you have a spotter?

papichulo · 10-16-2008, 08:57 PM
