just a question, should u do a weight that you can barely do the last rep on your first set..
ie. 3x8
(struggling to do 8th)
or should u do a weight that u are only struggling to do the last set
ie. (can barely do entire 3rd set)
This is exactly why I prefer to have a rep range, rather than a set number of reps per set. If you're working in the six to eight range, you should barely be able to get eight out on the first set, with good form- By the time you get to the third set, you might only be able to lift it six or seven times, but you're still within your range- And you've definitely challenged your muscles with the same amount of weight for each set.
