I drop weight as the sets go on and im no pussy, so the chavie who said that bollocks is talking out of his F******G shitter.
Stop making it personel and just give your opinions, theres no point behind that comment.
If you read my post it states, if you dont lift as heavy as you can you cant be pushing yourself ,and will not reach failure unless you do loads of reps, AGREED, wich DOES mean you dont give it your all in that set.It may be like most i pressume some sort of extended warm up which is fair especially if you do a lot of sets..In my opinion if you dont lower the weights as your sets go on you are holding back and the previous sets are just warm ups.
We must take in to acount the reps aswell as sometimes we may do 12 of a certain weight and realise theres no point lowering the weight as 12 is a lot of reps so ill just do 6-8 on the next set with the same weight reaching failure both times.This happens to me sometimes when ive been on creatine a thew weeks.

I do garys routine which is a 3 day workout of only 3 sets ,so failure on every set is a must, but if i was doing a 5 day split id still go for failure every set as a good warm is enougth to get the blood flowing and if your only training that muscle once a week id make sure id give that muscle some punishment as it will have time to rest.
Take it easy
