less wieght first, or reverse??
hi was wondering the best, or if there is not a best tnen the way
most people do it.
more wieght on first set, then lesssen the wieght,
or less wieght on first set, then put more wieght on
i was doing bench and i usually put more wieght on the first set then start
to take wieght off, and some guy said that is a bad idea cause it can hurt
you and you wont get as good that way
thanks for all replys

I do 2-3 warmup sets and the use the same weight for all working sets. If I can't hit the rep range I'm shooting for then I lower the weight.

I usual do a variation of all three: decreasing weight, increasing weight, continuous weight. Mostly depends on what I'm in the mood for that day. I try to be consistent in doing a little of everything though (like doing decreasing one day, increasing the next time I work that muscle, etc). Not sure if this is congruent with what research has shown or what the pros around here do...

Obviously there's warmup which is usually 50-80% of the weight you lift. The warmup could be anywhere from one to three sets. I prefer two sets for benching.
So two warmups, followed by your highest weight. Then decrease accordingly.
