Question about weight training…?
For strength training, which is better?
-Doing early sets with a heavier weight and then doing the final sets with a lower weight as you tire.
-Starting with a lower weight and then adding weight for subsequent sets.
-Using the same weight for all sets.
What about if you want to condition the muscles for endurance as well as strength?
In all honesty…the differences would be negligible…No matter which of those you did, you would get 99% the same results.
however I suppose if you started off with a weight that you could do about 10 reps with, it would help to warm you up better than just starting with a heavy weight.
I would suggest warming up without weights though, pushups and squats are good depending on which half of the body you are doing that day.
And it is almost impossible to train your muscles for endurance and strength at the same time, you pretty much have to do one or the other. If you use a weight for all of your exercises where you can do between 10 and 12 reps before reaching exhaustion, and keeping raising the weight by a pound or two every week, that would do it but it would be very very slow going.
