Is this right?

Hellscream Posts: 272 Joined: 2004/02/25	2004/02/25, 07:15 PM I signed up for a gain mass programme. However my exercises shows 4 sets and high reps - like the incline press starts off at 20 reps - 16 - 12 - 10. I thought when gaining size your suppose to keep low reps/sets and high waits. So about 3 sets of 8-12 reps. Dunno though, Im just a n00b. BTW, I tried to update my personal profile and it changed my entire exercise programme. Feel very unmotivated now, I love filling up those things and recording to log what Ive done :)

I think when starting off on your first set(20) the weight should be set a bit low, then as you progress to the next set(16) increase the weight, keep increasing the weight on each set until you complete the final set or until failure, I look at the first set or 2 as my warm up for the big stuff to follow in the next couple of sets.
