rep range week on p/rr/shock workout

[dfauteux]

I have been doing a bit more reading on p/rr/shock, it is posted on rr day to do say 3 sets of 10 reps on a certain excercise, but in one of the links it says to do rep range like this:

Set 1: load your weight so that you can lift as heavy as possible to do 7-10
Set 2: Lower weight so you can lift as heavy as possible for 11-15
Set 3: Lower your weight so that you can lift as heavy as possible for 16-20.

Just curious which is it? 3 sets 10 or varying reps going up to 20 reps on set 3?

The more I read it the more I get a little confused. On rep range week is the the whole first exercise to be the same amount of reps say 7-10 reps for 3 sets? then the 2nd exercise to be 3 sets of 11 to 15 reps? Or is the the first exercise first set to be 7 reps, 2nd set 11 to 15 , and so on? Then repeat the process for the 2nd exercise for the same body part?

And also what happens on an exercise that has only 2 sets? just do the first 2 stages? (7-9, 11-15)

Sorry I asked this in an earlier thread but wasnt sure if anybody would see it since it was under a different topic.

Don't know if this helps but here is how I do it :

Standing alt Db press -
50 x 9
50 x 9
50 x 8
rep range for first exercise is 7-9 reps, 2-3 sets

Cable side laterals-
3 sets 20 x 12
Rep range for second exercise is 10-12 reps, 2-3 sets

Incline Db rev flyes-
2 sets 25 x 15
rep range for 3rd exercise is 13-15 reps , 2-3 sets

That looks good for an exercise with 3 different exercises, but what do you do on a body part like legs that has 6 different exercises?
