    but if you dont go to failure on every set how do you know that you have anoth weight on? do you stop just before you start feeling the failure coming? as if i do a set of 15 reps without going to failure it feels like ive not worked the muscle good so feels like ive done nothing???

    Weight doesn't mean anything if you aren't dong the form properly. Just thought i'd try that in there.

    What are you doing with high reps (15) like that ? Give me an example of your workout.

    chest 15 reps
    back 15 reps
    traps 15 reps
    tries & bies 10 reps
    legs 15 reps
    shoulders 15reps,

    i only do around 3 sets on each muscle

    so what i should be doing is if failure is 15 reps i should stop at 10?????
    and on the small mucles i should stop at about 6 if failure is 10?????

    i only do half hour workout everyday. and cardio everyday, as iam on a cutting diet.

    monday traps, lats.
    tues bies, forearms.
    wed tries, shoulders,
    thurs traps, lats.
    fri bies forearms.
    sat off
    sun chest, legs.
