So I am torm between two different lifting philospphies.
Option1:
I go as hard as I can every set within my perscribed rep range.
Since I am significantly stronger on my first set than on subsequent sets, I end up taking weight off after every set or limiting my reps to be sure I am leaving nothing on the floor.
Option 2:
I try and stick to one rep# and one weight for the entire workout.. The first set is pretty easy. The last set is harder as I am more gassed and I have depleted stored muscle ATP. If I do not struggle on the last set, I am ready to up weight
Most people seem to go for option 2, but is that just because it is easier to program for that? Seems option 1 could produce more results as you are closer to failure for earlier sets.
PS:
I am 29. 215. 15%BF. Can Deadlift 465, Bench 255, Squat 345.
