“In practice, best results are usually produced by the 10/8/6 system of repetitions and sets; in this system, a weight is selected that will permit not more than ten repetitions during the first set, and then the resistance is increased for the second set, to a point that will permit not more than eight repetitions, and in the third set the resistance is increased to an amount that will permit six repetitions. But in all cases, all possible repetitions are performed in each set – and the weight is increased at the time of the next workout if it was possible to perform the designated number of repetitions with the weight selected.
“Thus, in practice, a subject usually will actually perform only about 8/6/4 repetitions –or possibly 7/5/3 repetitions; when he actually performs 10/8/6 repetitions, then the resistance is increased again.”
