looking to vary w/o

[sentricyphen]

ive been doing an 8-6-4 pyramid (after warm up) for the longest time now.

any suggestions? ive never actually done anything other than that.

would like to experiment with hitting different muscle fibers perhaps.

try working with percentages or a cumulative fatigue type of thing.

For example squats

take 85% of your 1RM, which would be your 6 rep max. And try and do three sets of 5 with it. Alternate between heavy and light days at varying intensities.

would you have to recalculate each exercise every time you gain strength

Of course, 85% of 100 is 85, 85% of 105 is 89.25, a percentage is never the same when using different values.
