The last several years, I’ve left a rep or two in the tank on the first set to go to failure at the same weight on my next set. I’d max out the range over the course of weeks before graduating to a heavier weight.Now, I’m going for failure in each set, even if I have to lighten the load on the next set to stay in the same range. I figure if I’m doing lower volume, I really need to make the intensity on each set matter. We’ll see how it goes.</blockquote>
