I'm doing BFL and am trying to adjust to using weights doing the pyramid system. Is this the best way to go or should I just be shooting for 4/5 sets of 12 reps at one consistent heavy weight?
I ask because I've been going to the gym and doing the pyramid and not really feeling like I'm sore or anything. maybe I'm not lifting heavy enough? Today I did dumbell squats using 7kg, 8kg, 9kg, 10kg and then 8kg again and I didn't find it difficult, certainly not to failure. I'm thinking I must need to lift quite a bit heavier. I'm new to lifting and female so I don't want to do too much to soon but want to feel like I'm actually gaining muscle.
