i agree that ronie is still geting growth out of the other sets, but if you look at it from a hit view he is still building up to a maximum final set. ( and in 2 other movements per bodypart)
dorian used less warmup progressions, but still did a maximum final set ( and 2 other movements per bodypart) - maybe if he used more progressive sets like coleman he wouldn't have had so many injuries?
thoughts?
I do think the way Dorian trained contributed to his tears/injuries. Had he done more sets and gotten a bit more blood in the muscle or fatigued more fibers prior to that "one all out set" maybe he could have had less injuries. We'll never know.
I like to train and do however many sets I'm doing with the same weight. So if I can squat 275 for sets of 8 at my peak set, I'll make sure that set number 1 I'm doing 8 reps with. That way your body know it has to adapt to that weight/rep scheme because it's always doing X amount of pounds. The first is more challenging than starting at 225 for 8, and the final set is a bit harder than it would be had you started with a lighter weight too. I'll move up on weight in the later sets if it becomes too easy.
Maybe it's hard to explain, but I'm in a hurry.
