Gentlemen
Quick question on MR progression - want to confirm my understanding is correct
If I've understood correctly the idea is to hit failure somewhere between rep 16 and 24. Once you've hit failure you reduce the weight by ~30% and continue to rep 24. Now with regard to progression is the idea to only increase load once you can do 24 reps OR are we to assume that as long as we're hitting failure in either the last or second last set I.E. Between rep 18 and 24 we should increase load next time the movement comes in rotation?
Also how strict are most of you with rest periods between MR sets? Take five deep breaths and hit it again (which as fatigue sets in could potentially increase a little beyond 10 seconds) or is it 10 seconds on the dot - breaths be damned?
Once again thanks for the advice
PS great MR Upper workout this morning even though I only got home from work past 10.30 last night
Best
