[Stumble Bum]

For NROL, I've always given every set my max effort. This would likely mean the weight decreases as the sets progress for me, but not always. Sometimes I can more on 2nd and 3rd sets. I try to warm up properly, but sometimes it takes a real set or two to really get me grooving. I've always thought the idea behind NROL for every set is max effort for reps designated. Adjust weight accordingly. Obviously, with low rest periods, weight comes down pretty quickly. I beleive warm up sets are discussed in the book pretty well. These are to be done before the work sets listed in the programs. To me, that means, the work sets are exactly that - WORK sets, not warm up sets 'til you get to the last set.
