    Marcus said it better than me!

    It just doesn't make a lot of sense to have your warmup sets and working sets at the same weight/rep range. Or if those 4 sets are all working sets, I think you should make them progressive. Up the weight by 2.5kg or 5kg each set. I found that the 3sets of 10 type training had really slow gains, for me.

    I could do this, for example

    90kg - 12 reps
    95kg - 10 reps
    100kg - 6-8 reps
    105kg - 3-4 reps

    Does this look better?

    I would say that'd work. I would drop it to 3 sets though. Make the first set easy. Middle set moderate. Last set failure at 6-8reps. But Im quite big on HIT types of training now.
