wouldnt that depend on how many reps you do? how many do you do
Depends what phase my workout is in. If I'm going heavy, I'll use the 2 45's and a quarter for 6-8 reps. That's at the beginning of the workout. If it's at the end, only 2 45's for 6 maybe 8 if I'm feeling good.
On a lighter "rep day," I will use 2 plates for 8-10 at the start of the workout, but one plate at the end.
It also involves more/less rest time too. If I'm lifting heavy, no more no less than 3min rest. On a lighter day it's 2min rest.
Then there is the week where I may do Giant Sets and have no more than a minute rest, but I'm doing 4-5 different exercises in a row non-stop. I might do Wtd. Dips, run to Incline Smith Bench with a 2 second pause on my chest, flat Flyes, bodyweight dips and finish with a Hammer Strength Incline movement. Rest one minute and repeat all for 10-12 reps if possible.
