Re: What Is Latest Thinking On Multi Reps With Heavy But Shrinking Lbs
[ QUOTE ]
is it known whether the decreasing weight method is better or worse than the standard method? [/ QUOTE ] Better or worse for what? What you describe is not used in strength training. And I think 10-20 total reps is below what bodybuilders use for reverse pyramids, but I don't know.

My personal trainer does drop sets sometimes. He says it's to shock the muscle. Commence attack... [/ QUOTE ] Fine. I would have thought that the *minimum* reps would be 20 for that sort of thing, but like I said, I don't know much about that kind of training or have experience with it-- Although, I think I understand the theory behind it... As far "shock therapy"-- changing/mixing up the stimulus helps a lot of things, I gather.

Re: What Is Latest Thinking On Multi Reps With Heavy But Shrinking Lbs
Generally we do something like 8-20 reps on the drop sets, close to failure usually but I could probably do a couple more if I had a gun to my head.

Learn what intensity means. This causes me rampant tilt.
Its pretty clear you have like zero clue about anything wrt fitness and diet and you decide to spew drivel that some bastard form of "logic" comes across as good. This feels like when I read articles in Harper's about increasing welfare for inner city minority families.
