Hi all,
I'm interested in hearing thoughts and experiences of stopping most sets based on when speed starts slowing down. Is this as hard as StrongFirst recommends pushing a set outside of record attempts?
My focus is higher rep bodyweight basics (chins, dips, skater squats).
I come from an intensity training mindset, pre-reading Pavel, and still find I have to fight the urge to push sets too hard. That said, I'm not a fan of doing too many sets of the same move in a single session. 2-3 sets pretty hard and moving on to something else is my preferred route. I do enjoy focusing on gtg 1-2 moves outside of main sessions at a lower intensity (as per gtg guidance).
I'm enjoying my training more than ever using speed slowing down as a gauge to terminate sets. Just curious to hear from others.
