HALF PYRAMIDS

32 HALF PYRAMIDS
Because a muscle tires with each successive set, many bodybuilders feel they should start their training with their heaviest weight. If they perform too many high- rep, light-weight sets they'll never be able to reach their heaviest weight. To get around this they do one or two very light sets and then put their heaviest weight on the bar or machine. The weight is then de- creased and reps are increased with each successive set. In effect they are working down the backside of the pyramid.
