Muscle Round rep numbers

[Darkhorse0311]

I think it takes a few blasts to get the hang of it. Some exercises I've found I hit failure by the 4th set whereas others I take a big chance in weight and somehow still barely make the six sets. I'm only in my second blast and am starting to hit failure faster, but still like I said I'm taking bigger jumps in weight (+15-20 lbs) and still somehow manage to make it through which leaves me a bit perplexed since I know last time was eye poppingly tough.

Personally, as long as I continue along with those big jumps in weight (progression) and fail in the latter sets or make it through, then I'm not at all worried about a lack of stimulation lol. Progression is progression imo, and I know that eventually, in my training as my blasts continue, I WILL eventually get stapled in that third set. Just a matter of time taking more and more chances week after week.

Also, greenhorns are still adding to their list of muscle round exercises and may have no idea where they should be at weight wise in order to fail early vs later so I think you need to put that context into the equation. Now, if the trainee has half dozen or so blasts under their belt and have a big list of MR exercises they've gone back to the well with a couple of times, then IMHO they should be failing between 3-4 sets ideally. Take yesterday for example. My first two exercises were new ones so I guessed and came up hitting positive failure on my last set. Next time I make a big jump in weight and hopefully fail. Hit or miss with new exercises....
