Topic	When I'm doing sets do I gradually increase weight? Or just lift the heaviest?

But my friend's talking about you need to find the heaviest you can lift with good form and just do that for every single set, same amount of reps. So rather than 15x30kg, 8x35kg, 5x40kg I need to be doing say 10x37.5kg, 10x37.5kg, 10x37.5kg. you should reduce it slightly each time (10x37.5kg, 10x32.5kg, 10x27.5kg...). whatever enables you to do 10 reps on the next set, even if you're now at half of what you started with. you shouldn't be struggling to do the 10 either. don't bend and twist to try to complete the set, if you can't complete it with proper form then that's how far you got and you needed a lower weight. --- *The truth basks in scrutiny.* http://i.imgur.com/GMouTGs.jpg http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png <cite>Sahuagin posted [p:890184566] in When I'm d...
