If you’re pyramiding your weight through the course of training and not challenging yourself to the last set, you’re never going to see the results you’ve always wanted.
Let’s say we do 3 sets as follows:
Set 1: 100lbs for 10 reps
Set 2: 140lbs for 10 reps
Set 3: 180lbs for 10 reps
If I can complete all of these sets with these weights, then I should’ve been using 180lbs for all 3 of my working sets.
A better way to train is the following:
Set 1: 180lbs for 10 reps, pretty difficult
Set 2: 180lbs for 10 reps, very difficult
Set 3: 180lbs for 10 reps, near impossible
One challenging set of an exercise is not enough to get the body you’ve always wanted.
