Quick question...
If I do bicep curls with 100 lbs for 10 reps that equals 1,000 pounds lifted.
If I increase the weight to 110 lbs and do 8 reps that equals 880 lbs.
So even though I increased the weight, I am doing myself disservice because of the deficit 120 lbs correct? In terms of hypertrophy, I won't see results I guess.
So if I plan to do 8 reps, I need to increase the weight to at least 125 lbs to equal the 1,000 lbs or perhaps increase it even more to make the succeeding set count. Theoretically if I increase the weight to 127.5 lbs and lift it for 8 reps, I'm lifting a total 1,020 lbs.
