Have you used the premix on Pyramid upper body workout?

[LuckeeLaydee]

I am fairly new to Cathe's exercises and weightlifting in general.
I have a question about the premixes on the Pyramid upper body.
I want to do something tonight but probably a little lighter/quicker than I normally would.
Can I use the premix on pyramid, and should I use pyramid up or pyramid down? If I do pyramid up tonight should I do pyramid down later in the week? I assume then it really isn't a "pyramid" but is it still an effective workout?

I use the pyramid upper quite often when I need a quicker upper body workout. I usually push to go as heavy as I can on the last set because its only 8 reps.

I prefer that to pyramid down because my muscles get warmed up better before lifting that super heavy weight......that is just my preference though.........


I would just do pub premix again later in the week - you wouldn't HAVE to do the pyramid down premix if you don't want.......

I like the both the Up Only and Down Only. I use the Down only to start out VERY heavy, and then work my way down - it really fatigues the muscles.

Another variation on using the Pyramid Down premix is to use your heaviest weights for both the first and second sets, then drop to your mid-weight on the 3rd set.

Hello,

I tried all the premixes but I got the best results by doing them as it produced. If I have very short time, I will do the down.
