What are you guys opinion on doing the pyramid lifting strategy?

I utilized that a lot during the first probably 4-5 years in the gym. these days after warming up sufficient after my first exercise I usually only do 1 warm up set on the next exercise just to refresh my form then jump right into my working sets. over the years I found at at least for myself that I wasted a lot of time in energy constantly pyramiding up to working loads.

Depends on what your goals are.

I'm with LAM. Pyrimiding may seem like a good idea at first, but in practice a bit of warm up and moving right on to the work just makes more sense.

I am able to push more weight for more reps if I pyramid.

+1 been there done that, bought the T shirt. Its not the most effective way t get the most from your workout.

although i believe it is a gud way for someone who is not used to shifting realy heavy weights test the water and get results at the same time. but after a while i would defgo encourage to move on
