@Luis:
if you're warmed up already you can go strainght to rep range you want no matter what it is safely.

The thing is pregression why lift a weight you're already capable and used to in the rep range yu want to acomplish?
I want to work in power weeks in the 4-6 rep range so I pick up the weights that allow me to to stay in the range and always trying to beat them.

Now if you don't have a rep range established or if you go trough various ranges in the same set what want to do is always try to progress in reps or weight, not just lift 3/4 sets like they are warm ups to the "heaviest one"... every set counts and it should lead to progression in weights or reps.

@Pickle : they felt easy, done in control motion slow negative... really nice.

thanks Robinho.

just putting Luis answear here.

great volume there natzo are you interweaving hypertrophy weeks then strength weeks atm?

great volume there natzo are you interweaving hypertrophy weeks then strength weeks atm?

yeah that's it. before I was doing 6 weeks power then 6 weeks hipertrophy, it worked well but always sensed I lost something aquired in each phase.

now I'm trying to do it in a week to week base, and I must say it's working well I feel better hitting heavy weights in power week cause I rested one week although doing some of the same exercises but in different rep schemes. The constant stimulus the muscle gets in different training fashions I think it's beneficial to optimal performance and growth.

has for now i'm enjoying more ondulating week to week than 6 week template.

I thought of doing power and hipertrphy within a week period but that would change my training to something similar to upper/lower routine.. that I don't fancy.
