Thread: How does this rep/set scheme look?

After months of low reps your body need a break...I would bump it up to 10 reps for a month or two.

Im honestly not really comfortable going that high for more than a set.. Would 4x8 be better? Or perhaps 10 8 6 4? Thanks foreman

i like 8,6,4 w/1 warmup of 12reps

I agree with Foreman.
Why don't you feel comfortable with 10 rep sets?

I have tried going that high on most exercises in the past and it just didnt feel right to me, dont ask me why .. Hmm what about 10 8 6 4??

10 reps is nothing. 15 reps is tough!

Anyway, I agree with foreman....your body needs a break from heavy lifting both physically and neurologically. Dropping back to high reps for a few weeks is a good idea. the fact that you don't feel comfortable doing it is the most ridiculous excuse I have ever heard.

What I do is mix it up every week. One week I do 5x5, the next week I do 3x3, and the next week 4x4. It works for me. When I wanted to gain muscle I gained 10 pounds of muscle in 6 weeks.

Well its not so much physically im not comfortable with them it has more to do with the fact i like lifting heavier for the most part and my form tends to crap out if i hit the 10+ rep range for more than a few sets
