reverse pyramid (kinda)

ok, let me re explain:


lets say your normal routine consists of 3 exercises of 3 sets per exercise of 2 warmup sets then 3 working sets of 12,10,8

have any of you done 8,10,12 instead of 12,10,8
 
we may still be on the wrong page on the idea. starting light and ending heavy to me is a warm up then maxing out.

what i posted on those reps were to be as fresh as possible to hit the heaviest weights to provide maximal stimulus to the type I fibers. then i lower the weight and up the reps for some hypertrophy stimulation. then lower the weight even more to increase work capacity.

whether i saw a benefit i could not say as its been way too many years since i have done that type of thing. logically it just makes sense as a superior workout then hitting high reps and fatiguing then trying to hit low reps with a reduced work capacity.
 
Yes.

Are you referring to literally the Reverse Pyramid Training method like this: Invalid Link Removed

I used a form of RPT earlier this year and like the idea quite a bit.
 
I dot the I idea on a MD MAG on of brando curry workout it was with dropsets
Barbell curls
6x135
8x115
10x95
12x75
The only rest was dropping the weight my arms felt f@cken pump but it hurt like hell because it followed by
Lying cable curls
45 degree db curls
All drop sets it was only a 4 week program but I 1st 2nd week was cool but week 3 and 4 took a long a$$ time to recover
