Hi All,
I have currently hit a plateau in my training, I used to be able to up the weight with things like a dumbbell shoulder press every few weeks but I am struggling at the moment! I notice other people changing the weight for each set, for example – I am currently doing 3 x 12 - 20kg dumbbell shoulder presses and usually try and max it out on the last set. Just wondering if it is beneficial to maybe do 1 x 10 – 22.5kg set and then (cant do another set of 22.5!) move down a size and do another 2 sets of 20kg …. Maybe even drastically do another few sets after that at 15kg? should I stick to my current training – or should I mix it up a bit with different weights for each set etc? not sure of the benefits of working from smaller weigh to a heavier weight also. Cant find any research on this so any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!
Shane
