I've been doing PUB premix up. Well I've been having a hard time increasing my weights w/good form. So I tried PUB premix down and it was much better. I realize that is because my heaviest was done first. Well I want to spend more time increasing my upper body strength and wondered can I do PUB the whole workout w/my original weights, then once a week do PUB premix w/the heavier weights and still reach the next level? Or since doing the whole workout w/the heavier weights is not an option right now should I just do two workouts a week PUB premix w/the heavier weights? Does anyone know which would get better results?

Hi Julie,
PUB is my upper body workout of choice. I just can't give this one up for anthing else. I only do the workout in its entireity. I have a mental thing about doing the up or down only premixes.
I will tell you that I got the best results and upped my weights last spring when I was doing the full pyramid 3x per week. The only part I wasn't lifting heavier than Cathe was biceps.
PUB can be tough to increase weights on. You might end up using the same weight for different repetitions.
For example on Chest you might try something like this:
10 lbs for 10 reps
10 lbs for 12 reps
12 lbs for 8 reps
10 lbs for 10 reps
8 lbs for 12 reps
This way you are only upping the weight on one set. There are lots of options with PUB, the challenge is finding what works for you. Keep a log, so you know what you have tried.
Just some thoughts.
