Does anyone here know exactly what the difference in mass-building effect is between regular sets with rest in between them, and tri- or giant sets? Are they a viable option for increasing intensity in a workout?
I've always thought that intensity is defined by the weight you lift - the heavier, the more intense. But I did tri-sets for chest and bis on Mon and for quads and shoulders on Tues, and I don't have any other word to describe those workouts except - INTENSE, even though I had to lower the weights as the set went on. Technically, it's one very high-rep set, right?
And MY, what a pump! But that doesn't really mean anything, does it?
What's the rationale for using tri-sets or giant sets? What if I throw them into alternate workouts for each bodypart?
Question 2
What's the difference between forced reps and negatives?
Plz help.
