Ep. #813: Should You Do Very High-Rep (“Finisher”) Sets?

I’ve churned through over 150,000 emails, social media comments and messages, and blog comments in the last 6 years.

And that means I’ve fielded a ton of questions.

As you can imagine, some questions pop up more often than others, and I thought it might be helpful to take a little time every month to choose a few and record and share my answers.

So, in this round, I answer the following question:

• Should you do very high-rep, “finisher” sets in your workouts?
