Hey guys,

Im bulking atm and progressing nicely! When i lift i try and work between 4-8 reps. Starting off with a heavy weight and getting lighter as i go through my sets. I overherd a pt the other night saying it was better to get heavier as you go through your sets. I had a quick peek at jay cutlers program and he does the same. If anyone could explain what the go is there i would appreciate it greatly!

Thanks Guys!

Yea starting light and working your way up is more efficient, first of all you get your muscles warmed up if their not already, plus your not burning out yourself on your max lift all the time and generally will progress faster.

I would check out some of the training programs in this thread.

what you doing is called drop sets. its good to do those. but not all the time. switch it up every couple weeks.

I always heard dropsets are for burnouts at the end of things... thats about it though -- other wise I go up every set...

well you dont have to burnout on a drop set. just start heavy and work your way down. just make sure you're nice and warm so your heavy sets go good.
