Do you ever feel like you lose strength / are held back on your working sets because of your warmup sets? They seem just slightly excessive in relation to what I do.

For me, definitely not. Take the bench for example. 135x5 wont tire me at all. The rest is just ramping up weights with very low reps.

Then that one last rep at over my working set weight actually makes the working set feel lighter and it gives me an extra rep.

I have found that a lot of warm up sets with very low reps while ramping up weight helps me a ton.

I'll be able to go up about 5lbs a week. I'll be back to repping 225lbs in no time in the bench.

Yet again, regress instead of progress :/

could have been a beast by now if this hasn't happened so many times. For god's sake i was benching 195x6 in high school im pretty sure at one point. I graduated college already.

Whatever. Gonna look and perform crazy good by next summer, that's for sure ;)

« on: August 04, 2014, 05:52:23 pm »
One reason that it isn't always is done is because of what you say: compount movements will tax the CNS. I bench then row. I'm not supersetting those. Also, it would be hard in my gym. Somebody would most certainly take the bench and "work in" and fuck up my rest times  :raging:
