Oh ok now I think I'm getting it...
So the percentages of 1rm aren't just there for nothing... The intention is for example doing a 3x12 with a weight lighter than your 12rm?
But wouldn't that be alot more difficult to adjust to everyone personally? While one person's 80% of 1rm is 13 reps, another guy's might be 16rm or 9rm [img]redface.gif[/img] So the training effect would obviously be different, wouldn't it?
What I was saying in my post gobbla, was that it's easier for me to do a 12x4 for instance (Training For Maximal Size) with my 4rm and complete all the repetitions in all the sets than a 3x12 with my 12rm...
