Now, as far as sets and reps go, the best and
method is and has always been the double
progressive system - in this case, the "double"
being the manipulations of two variables: the
number of repetitions and the amount of resistance.
Just as a refresher, the double progressive system
involves an increase in resistance once a certain
number of repetitions is performed.
As an example, say you get 8 reps with 100 pounds
in a particular movement. After a few workouts,
when you can get 10 reps, the weight is increased
by a couple pounds and the process begins over again,
ad infinitum.
Every great strength champion has used some
variation of this (whether they realized it or not)
and you can certainly use it as well. Your degree
of results will come down to how much effort you
are willing to put in and how long you stay
consistent. ...
So, as an "action item" my advice is to stick with
a particular workout with a focus on increasing your
reps for at least four workouts in a row, before
increasing the weight.
I think I'll try this when I go back to my A Routine after SMR has its way with me.
