any set cuts into recovery time

knowing that the lack of soreness is a sigh...I would consider cutting the sets in half and going to positive failure on each set.

If it were me - thats waht I would do...and I have doen that...


I used to do 20-30 sets per bodypart....I NEVER do more than 13-14 now

I did go to failure. The problem is absolute failure means the 45 lb db drops on my head.

how is that??

incline dbs will simply fall to the upper shoulder....



LOL


DO you think might could get another rep or two???


tiredness for me usually means overtraining


soreness = strength AND size

Naw - 45 has been my current limit. So I opted for drop sets from 45 to 40 and stop when the reps start getting sloppy.
