Pyramid up, for warm up.

Muscle confusion over time as well.

Do some warm ups to get ready then go into your heaviest set and crank out the desired/ required reps. Repeat after 30-45 seconds.
Move to next exercise.

why ask one of the most highly debated questions in bodybuilding history here? lol


When you are running shit, you can get away with a lot more reps and less weight and still get the muscles


When you are a natty (of which there truly are NONE) you need to train heavier and take longer rest periods


When you are juicing, you feel like lifting heavier, so which do you do? Do what you feel or do what works?

Ha ha ~ this question will continued to be asked long after I am history.

pyramid down never made sense to me, except for a 'burn out' set. I think for maximal strength you definitely want to pyramid up- this gets you warmed up and primed to lift heavy. Lifting for size basically means adding volume to your workout, you can incorporate this any way you want in your work out.

On second thought I realised OP may be talking about pyramid shits, in which case Dr. Falcon is the go-to expert. You have to be more specific with your requests.
