Pikey

I normally aim to fail something above 15 reps certainly on the first working set as it just stimulates me better – we’re all different the key is to keep experimenting till you find what works for you. Last set is highly likely to be 6-8 reps and probably with the same weight…

Anything less than 20 on legs and I seem to build mass but not quality – I know different things but I’ll grow on 20 plus and my legs look better. My ex training partner had to work on sub 8 reps else he just lost muscle – everyone’s different and while he’s a top bloke it’s why we don’t train together anymore.

The reason I started with pre exhaust is that after 25 years of heavy compound and Weightlifting exercises my joints were continually sore I’d more niggly injuries than I could shake a stick at and I found it very difficult to focus my mind into a muscle while doing compound as opposed to focusing on moving the weight.

I’d say to anyone give it a go for a month and see how it goes but don’t stagnate I think its key to keep changing and not fall into the rut of the same old exercises with the same weight for the same reps…
