I have a question that might have been asked before. If I am doing an exercise and it has a ton of reps in it is it better to get through whole segment at 5 lb first before I increase to 8lb? I can lift 8lb for about 20 reps and then I decrease to 5lb. I can't get through whole segment yet at 5 lb. 5lb weight for me is too easy so that is why I increased it. So I am wondering is it better to just stick with 5lb weight first and finish whole segment before I incr to 8lb? Or can I just keep pushing for more reps at say 25 reps at 8lb and slowly work my way to get through whole segment that way? I just can't do 80 reps of chest exercises or 80 reps of triceps yet so I am wondering is it ok to do a pyramid style like I do? I really enjoy the pyramid as it makes it more fun. I usually get through 1/3 segment and am working on getting all the way through.
