What is your favorite mode of training: straight sets, pyramid sets or reverse pyramid? And why?

    Hmmm... Was this a stupid question?

    No, it wasn't a stupid question. Just people didn't feel like answering.

    For me, mostly straight sets. Except for deadlifts, which I like to ramp up.

    I've been doing pyramid sets but I feel like I did better on straight sets. So I'll go back to that soon. I was just trying to change it up a bit.

    For power, ascending weight. For hypertrophy, straight sets.

    Thanks for responding. It seems like its just a case of trying them all out to see which I like best.

    Happy Lifting!!! :)
