looking back over previous posts, one re-curring theme is doing more reps per workout oustside of the "std" 1x15 2x10 3x5 etc. Why not take the working weight and aim for max reps in a given timeframe (aiming for a min of 15/10/5 - it doesn't really matter) stopping short of failure in each "cluster", though still working HARD i.e. see your rep max as more of a % of 1rm than a weight to get 15 reps with; as Bryan points out - your muscles don't count reps...
This above protocol will allow for more "quality" rather than quantity, I'm sure we're all guilty of throwing the weight up just to get the reps/outta the gym quicker; you can now concentrate on the "perfect" rep

Has anyone tried this approach?
