Why do people ramp up there weight?

dimanche 5 avril 2015

I never do this, and wondering why people do. After a couple warmup sets, i start with the heaviest possible weight and drop down for example



Bench press

set 1 - 260 x 10

set 2 - 230 x 8-10

set 3 - 200 x 8-10



With ramping i see people doing something like this

set 1 - 200 - 10

set 2 - 230 - 10

set 3 - 260 - 8-10



It makes no sense to me, those first 2 sets are not even close to failure, and could easily push out another 2-3 reps but they stop short. You shouldn't be able to increase the weight and do the same amount of reps if you're doing all the reps you can on the first 2 sets. I don't usually go to failure but i go until i can't push out another rep with proper form (the last rep before i fail). I've always thought, you should work at maximum intensity on all sets, it's the last 1-2 reps is what builds the muscle.



Thanks for help
