You need to learn your body and your limits. Just train hard and play with it, it ain't rocket science.
Do you have a preferred rep range for those two exercises or do you mix it up?
I very rarely ever take a set to failure, and continue to progress.
Although I have never trained continuously for long enough to hit plateaus.
What is hard exercise anyway?
Since this is in the bodybuilding section, I'll use this example.
I can bicep curl 10kg dumbbells for 12 reps and make it hurt so much my arms are shaking and burning at the end of the set.
And I can also curl a 50kg barbell for 12 reps, a little quicker and maybe only 90% strict form, but won't feel it as much in the biceps as with the lighter weight.
Most will say heavier weights will make bigger muscles, but is this always the case?
Earlier on in the piece I enjoyed squatting 5x5 with a back off set of twenty in the squat DKD, as I've aged I'm enjoying the higher rep scheme, a jones favorite is the; 12, 10, 8... At the minute;12x72, 10x92 and then 8x115kg, no rest and a back off set of 60kgx20, pre fatigue the quads with a set of 20 leg extensions to fatigue, after my squat leg curls to fatigue.
the leg curls are or have made quite a difference, the machie I have is a unique one, as in you are lying on your side, no pressure on the lumbar, it isolates the hamstring very well.
Dead-lifts 5x5
Trap-bar 30 rep's
I do the low rep's with squats very seldomly now.
Come again ????????????The spotter should always help you in every rep in doing this it will keep the tension
on working the muscles through the whole set.
Come again ????????????
