  • Very interesting!

    But I find if I don't do my heavy set at set 4-6 I don't progress in more weight. Too soon and I'm not warm enough.

  • I think this is describing first set proper set. There was another study my running coach showed me which says most people only lift 54% of what they could as 1rm. So these two things combined made me think 3-4sets is ideal but ymmv
    As a new dad if I can do a couple fewer sets here and there it means Iā€™m getting a lil more bang for my buck šŸ˜

  • If you want bang for your buck, hav you thought about.... Dammit... I cant remember the name of the technique.

    You basically do 60% of your max but you reduce your rests to like 30 seconds so you're keeping your muscle in its growth phase.... Or something.... Basically something short and very difficult but very efficient. Its like HIIT but with heavy weights. It has some fancy name.

    Cant remember what it's called. I'm sure someone here will know.
