Hi guys, I like to have a strength exercise at the beginning of myworkouts.
Let's say I'm doing bench press, here's how I plan it:
-First set is warmup, 50% weight of the first working set, 8-10reps
-Second is still warmup, 75% weight of the first working set, 6-8reps
-First working set 4res
-Second working set, -10%weight, 6reps
-Thirs working set, -10%weight of previous set, 8reps
As you can see I warmup as pyramidal then I go straight to reverse pyramidal. Each set 3mins rest.
I've noticed during my cutting almost 0 strength loss and I'm wondering if it could work well to increase my strength during bulking or if would it be better to make some changes or even to change technique (people suggesting pyramidal but I think once you hit your heaviest weight you're already exhausted).
