What are you looking for, strength or size?
Screw it, this is what I would do...
I would pick a weight and then do say 6 sets of 6 or what have you. Once you get this volume, up the weight and shoot for the same thing. Just make sure that your volume gradually increases. Personally, I try to do the same number of reps (Generally 3) for each set, but everyone has their own way of doing things. I used to pyramid up but am now ttrying something different to see how I respond.



You see my dillema right? If I don't keep the same weight though and decide to pyramid going up in weight each set, and I reach my 10 reps on bench, or bicep curls on the first set one day, that 10 rep accomplishment is only 55% of my max. And if I reach 10 reps on my 3rd set at 85% of max I would undoubtedly be pulling too many reps in the first and second sets to get those results. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
