Hi guys,
For 3 years I trained light, then heavier, then heaviest.
Eg. Bench 60kg/10 reps, 70kg/8 reps, 80kg/4 reps.
Recently I flipped it: 80kg/6 reps, 70kg/8 reps., 60kg rep till fail.
I find it much better as you are able to lift the heavy weight straight away as your muscles are not fatigued. Previously I would generally fail on the last set.
This way when you get to the lighter weights your muscles are already wrecked but you have enough endurance to sustain the set.
Anyone else train like this?
