well I was only able to get 4 sets out...and it is nice to sometimes challege yourself and do a short cycle of really heavy weight to help muscle growth and strength increases. It is funny most people...including myself until I got my new trainer, get stuck on the 8-12 rep range and do not experiment with the really heavy weight, but I am finding that my strength and muscle hardness is really increasing because of it.
