I don't know how this habit started, but, I like decreasing the weight.

Say 16 reps at 80 pounds, then 16 reps at 60 pounds, then 16 reps at 40 pounds.

At the end I can hardly finish the 40 pounds, so, I don't feel like I'm cheating myself, and to some degree I feel safer since as my muscles fatigue, I'm operating with less weight.

My trainer, was putting increasing the weight, the result was that I could do 16 reps at 80, but only do like 12-14 at 100.

I'm just making these weights up, but you get the idea.

Opinions?

Seems like I can get more total reps in with the decreasing method, and I feel plenty burnt at the end of it.
