Re: Strength-edurance and endurance-strength

So am I right in saying that in changing the sets and reps around you
did find it helped you on the one set of twenty?
It sounds like it would give your body a good shock.
Id imagine judging it so the last rep is the one to failure would be
tricky.

REVERSEING the order of repitions and sets, this x sets of y repitions

ONLY ONCE (in the true nature of HIT style training), AND on the last
