Going back to the Reverse Pyramid

[Mik]

Since October I've been following a recommended regimen of three sets of 6-8 reps at 80% of my 1RM on each machine. I have progressed very little on this, maybe 5 lbs on each exercise, plus a longer rest period between sets.

Going back to one set of 4 reps at 90% or 1RM, then 8-12 reps at 30 lbs less, then 15-20 reps at 30 more down. I really moved up fast on that. It should build strength, muscle and endurance. We will see.
