 Re: My First Post - Go Easy ;-)
i know you're still a beginner, and you're obviously enthusiastic. however, personally i don't see why 5 sets of ten with the same weight on each set is the way to go. you are obviously capable or more weight or more reps, as none of those sets achieve failure with the possible exception of the last one. next time, try this;
example:
1st set 12 reps
2nd set 10 reps with more weight
3rd set around ten reps with as much weight as you can STRICTLY use for aound ten reps
4th set again around 10 reps with as much weight STRICT form again. set four will probably necessitate less weight on the bar than set 3 as you'll have begun to tire.
first 2 sets are almost warm up sets, set 3 and 4 are the ones that do the damage.
if you don't ache after this, you're not training hard enough.
good luck |
