hi guys,
i train at home and have been using a powertec leverage machine along w/ an old bowflex power pro.
i just upgraded to the bowflex ultimate 2.
anyway, the smallest weight jump on the bowflex is 5 lbs per cable.
on some of the exercises, notably arms, this can be too much of a jump.
for instance-- i lifted 50 lbs. on the standing curl for 15 reps last workout. good form and easy to use.
the next jump in weight is 60 lbs.
i did 60 lbs. for 8 reps today, not to failure, of course.
as i'm working in the range of 15's, where do i go after this first set w/ 60?
do i immediately drop the weight to 50 and do a drop set of 7 reps, so as to be at 15?
or do i do a 2nd set of 7 w/ 60 lbs. after working triceps for a set?
thanks again!!
