Ok while working out, i though of these questions.

Is it better to start the set of with the heavest weight then next set go down and so on? or other way around?


HIT traning... does it work good for anyone?

Reverse pyramiding is what I "think" vinh is asking. It's okay as a mix in... I wouldn't rely on it exclusively. Starting with the heaviest weight possible might be more productive with a couple of warm-up sets. I have tried it a couple of times in workouts but prefer a progressive pyramid of 12,10, 8, 6, (sometimes 4).

With HIT training aka Mentzer training... some love it... some hate it.

I like starting off heavey when I do bench.... but i think its just personal prefernce

I start with a warm up ...12-16 reps relatively light...then do the 10, 8, 6, 4 going heavier with each set change...It works for me. I am bigger than I have ever been b4...

I used to do a warm up then 10, 10 , 10, but did not dramatically improve

I find that the reverse pyramid works really well with me. I seem to get a very good pump off of it.
