High rep and Low rep sets

Today I was feeling a little sluggish walking into the gym. I knew it was a day to do weights but I didn’t know if after the long weekend I would have the mental power to be able to push my sets to failure like I know that I have to. So I decided to change things up today.

As I have mentioned here before, I do all my weights in one day although I seem to be getting closer to going to a two days split. Normally I would do a circuit workout with a warmup set for each muscle group and then two sets to failure for each muscle group. This normally works great, especially if you can really push what failure means in a set.

Today instead of doing a warmup set I did a set of 50 reps to failure to start using bench/flyes (25 reps each), pulldowns to chest, lateral raises, tricep pushdowns, and alternating curls. After this I did just one set of low rep sets of 8-10 reps with the same exercises.

Then I did my post workout stretching. The whole workout took about 40 minutes.

After my workout I had a great pump and had trouble raising my arms in the shower but I will probably know better tomorrow how effective this workout was.

Looking to make a change and lose some weight? I have reviewed the top diet on the internet and you can go and read over 200 comments people have made about why this diet has worked well for them, as well as some of the problems.
