Need suggestions?

I'm on a 3 day spit and got a routine. I need help with the sets and reps.Here's what I got right now for the sets and reps....

1st set - 10 reps
2nd set - 8 reps (+10lb)
3rd set - 6 reps (+20lb)

So does that look good to everyone else?? I do that for all my exersices.

it's not bad - but i'm willing to bet that while it's perfect for *some* body parts, other parts are being under- or overtrained.

use that as a solid foundation, but let your body tell you if you need to do four sets or change the weight (or whatever) for individual body parts. don't just goosestep your way through a routine that may not be providing you with the best results.

otherwise, keep on keepin' on! :

I used to do that routine and then added a 4th set where you go back to the lighter weight and try to rep out 8-10 more. It really helped me build muscle endurance and I started being able to add more weight pretty frequently. Right now I'm on a heavy weight, low rep, cutting plan which seems to be working pretty good as well.

Add a 4th set at 4 reps...increase the weight accordingly
