A thought on extended sets....

[The Shadow]

If you train with dumbells and you complete your sets doing both arms simutaneously, try this:

at failure(working both arms simutaneously), take a deep breath and being unilateral movement with yuor dominant arm.....and then simply alternate until failure....it allows you to squeeze out a couple of extra reps per arm, thereby extending the set and increasing intensity.

Interesting..... I'll have to try that. Can also be done with machines that can do unilateral motions.

yep....its basically a trick to allow a little more rest time between reps
