Sarn,

I'm sorry to reply so late to this intriguing post,
but i hadn't seen it in my inbox. yes, I have found
that multiple very-low-rep sets are sometimes more
effective for me than a few moderate-rep sets. I like
eight sets of three reps. And yes, the resistance
used can be much greater than when doing three sets of
eight. It's and exciting way to train, albeit far, far
removed from HIT :)
