DauntlessGrok16 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Hey guys.. for example I do dips for 3x3 but felt like I can already do more.. what will I do? Should I up the reps like 3sets of 4 reps or should I up the sets like 4sets of 3reps? Or is there a better way to do it? Also, please share how you guys do it. I don't want to reach failure only 1-2 reps short of failure. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Burnham Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 All of those rep schemes are pretty similar. There are a couple of methods I like to do to up volume. If I am a beginner in an exercise and I feel I can do more then I will do the last set to about 1 rep before failure.For a general plan up the reps every week until you get to 5 per set then lower the reps again and increase the number of sets.Realize you don't have to feel tired for an exercise to be effective. You should stick to a plan. If you aren't knowledgeable about programming then you should either read and learn how to do it or follow the WOD/ kilroy plan.

Parth Rajguru Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 From 3x3, you should probably increase the sets. Aim for 5-6 sets of 3 reps, then start working sets of 4 reps.This depends on a lot of things, but increasing volume before intensity is a good rule of thumb.
