Topic	When I'm doing sets do I gradually increase weight? Or just lift the heaviest?
BADoglick 11/11/17 12:29:21 PM #4:	I find if I jump to my highest weight right away that I'd literally kill myself. I can squat 520 pounds though, so I start with sets with one pair of 45s, then two, three, etc. I'll probably warm up for 20 minutes doing that, then I'll do three sets of five at my max. I then go back down with the number of pairs of plates (4, 3, 2, 1). It's good to get strong at all weight/rep combinations. Going back and doing less than your max will build a stronger foundation for when you go back to the max weight. --- BADoglick to the Max! <cite>BADoglick posted [p:890186701] in When I'm d...
