Is there an advantage to going with lower reps and higher weights vs higher reps and lower weights if in either case you go to failure?
Example - DB Bench Press with weights per set at 70, 75, 80 & 85 with reps at 12, 10, 8,6 but only able to get maybe 3 reps on last set before failure but not quite the best form (yea I know about form) versus say 60, 65, 70, 75 with higher reps (15, 12, 10, 8) and getting maybe 6 reps at the end before failure but a little better form.
Psychologically when I can only get 3 reps on my last set with 85's I don't feel like I got a good workout as the reps were low at the end.
Thanks
