Top set method

Seppe Hoobergs 2 years ago 0

I noticed a long time ago we can't do one top set for deadlifts followed by multiple back-off sets, doing multiple deadlift sets with the first one with a 1 rir, followed by a couple sets with the same weight and reps is kinda way to destructive/taxing, certainly also when you are squating and you're past a beginner/medium level stage and the weights get high, a one all out sets with a 1rep rir, somewhere in the 3-7 rep range, followed by 2 or 3 back-off sets where weight is reduced and reps adjusted to the new weight makes a lot more sense imo, i never said this before when i noticed but it would be great if the possibility for 1 workset and multiple back-off sets would be possible, can't help but wonder it's better for the heavy, taxing and injury prone compound exercises.
