My approach now is to do a warm up, then lift my heaviest set first to failure, then drop the weight each set going to failure each set. The very next day I'll perform 2 sets of the same body part as the day before for 20-30 reps, just for a good pump into those muscles while they are recovering from the day before.

I always start off with the highest weight and take it to or beyond failure. Second set lighter weight, to failure...possible third set lighter and to failure.

Love it.

Yes! This is how was training before, and making great progress! This is what I'll stick with!

It's called the post activation trick. Essentially you're tricking your CNS by doing your 1rm FIRST. It works well when you rest for 5-7 min after this 1rm, then go into your working sets. If you're scheming 5-8 that's essentially 75-85% of your 1rm. Because of the post activation trick you can definitely hit 80-90%, if not 95% if you try this enhanced.

The 5-7 min rest is the kicker since reps between 1-3 deal with rate coding than fiber recruitment.

Keep up the good work, man.

Wow, thanks I've never seen it explained like that. I would just work out this way because it made sense to me, and my body responds to it.
