So I'm trying to decide how to do my accessory work.
For background: I like to start a workout with a heavy major lift. Bench, Press, Good Morning, Squat... Then I do the relevant accessory work. Dumbbell presses, flys, extensions, glute-ham raises... whatever's working.
But I'm feeling the need to change things up a bit. I don't want to stop opening with a major lift. Every time I do that (on things like bench, especially), I get weaker. Fast. But the accessories, I'm not sure what to do.
I'm considering just straight sets of things like I've done, 3x15 or whatever; or maybe rest-pause sets, or drop sets, or super sets...
I'm not sure what I should be going after. Should I be concerned with the volume, chasing the pump..?
What's everyone's thoughts on this, let's hash it out.
