Listen to your body and make sure you're going as heavy as you possibly can because that's what will give you results. You will see how amazingly strong this will make you. The following week you will be surprised to know you know heavier weight. Make sure to record everything.
You do not want to do this with NROL4W. The program is written to do 3 sets of 15, for example or 3 sets of 12, for example. You need to do all the reps called for, but make it challenging. We do not drop reps as we move on to subsequent sets.
