- Something I've been wondering: if I'm doing multiple sets of an
- exercise, should I reduce the weight for the second set so that
- I can get out the same number of reps before failure, or should I
- extend the rest period until I can get out the same reps at the
- same weight as on the first set? Or, should the early sets not
- be taken to failure?
