Hi everyone,
I am doing strenght training consistently for a few weeks now.
I started with a personal trainer which showed some exercises for the beginning, mainly with dumbells because I want to be sure to not train asymmetrically.
Anyway, he had me doing the exercises starting the first set with a "light" weight, increasing at the second set and increasing again at the third set.
When the third set would be too easy, the next time I would start the first with a kg more and so on.
For example, I do dumbell incline chest press starting 7kgx8, 8kgx8, 9kgx8.
When the 9kg will be "easy" (at the moment I cannot even complete it with the left arm), I will do 8*8, 9*8,10*8 and so on.
Does this make sense?
I am reading stuff online and I read that the first set should be for warm up, but the following sets should be with the higher weight.
Thanks a lot
