Hey Susan,
Thanks for the visit to my gym log. The reason I put my smallest weight first is: if I am doing 3 sets of 10, and I do the 1st set, I may realize that that weight is too easy so I increase it for the next two sets.....or......I may do 3 sets of an exercise but I lower the reps after each one. For e.g., I do curls and I do one set of 10 reps, then one set of 8 reps, then one set of 6 reps. I would keep increasing the weight each set... so if I can curl 20lbs for 10 reps, maybe I can do 25lbs for 8 reps, and 30lbs for 6 reps..... That is why my weight goes from less to more during my reps.
Was that helpful? I hope I explained that well so it makes sense. |
