    Okn this is what I think increasing the weight to quickly is a bad thing To get the best out of any routine you must prolong muscle failure as long as you can, the sooner you fail the sooner your training cycle will end. don’t get cared away with adding 5- 10kg every time you train, if you barely managed six reps with the 30s on shoulder press, what are you going to do next week, slap on another 5kg aside I don’t think so. Hitting muscle failure means no thither growth because you cannot give the body the new stimulus it needs for growth over the coming weeks, don’t get me wrong
    Training hard or harder than hard is all that will do in terms of muscle growth, it must be done. But i think you can over do it. JMO
