I've wondered this for a while. Why do ladders go up in reps (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), rather than down (5, 4, 3, 2, 1)?
Obviously, each rung gets harder because it has more reps. If they went down, they would get easier each time, and you'd still end up with the same number of reps. At least that makes sense in my head.
Full disclosure: I haven't really done ladders, since I'm just getting back into it after a long layoff. Previously, I did more of a 3x5 or 5x5 style workout. So, I have no argument to make.
Also I'm just getting started with the PM, so I probably won't be doing ladders for a while anyway. So, this is just a question out of curiosity.
Thanks,
Jason
