Hate to ask but what does ramping the weight mean? Lowering the weight after each set?

Suppose I do flat bench, my reps usually go like this:

175 x 10
175 x 9
175 x 7
175 x 6

So basically my first set I can do 10 reps, but my 4th set I run out of so much gas that I drop to 6. ...

Take bench pressing for example. Going from machine to flat bench to dumbbell press means your weights will go down proportionately because stabilization makes it harder.

When I do flat bench...

When doing reverse flies on the machine, the grip that everyone uses is when your grip is parallel to the floor. Should I do it where it is perpendicular so that it mimics a bent over lateral grip?

I've been doing it in front because I heard behind neck might cause injury but I feel I should be doing it behind so I can hit the back of the shoulders more. Should I incorporate it into my workout?

My leg workout is pretty light considering I just started. I do 4 sets of the squat machine where you lie on your back and your legs are bent in the air. Then I do 4 sets of calf raises. Then I...

Two peanut butter sandwiches and peanut butter crackers equaling 860 calories for lunch is kind of a lot. You are better off having a grilled chicken breast, some whole wheat toast, and steamed...

Decline > Flat > Incline

As far as weight goes, incline is the hardest. I'm surprised that you can't put as much weight on your decline. Most people can put more weight on decline.

Is there a way to build up stamina with lifting? Whenever I do bench, I'll do 4 sets and my first set will be 12 but by the time I get to the 4th set, I'll do 6 reps. It isn't just me getting...

I'm currently in the process of losing fat but my lifts haven't increased significantly because I'm not building significant muscle (since I'm eating less calories than I burn). If I increase my...

I made huge gains since I started lifting. I pretty much doubled all of my lifts but my physique hasn't changed too much. It is definitely more cut but I want more mass. I know that eating a...

Suppose I bench, I'll do 185 for 8 reps and go down to 175 on my 4th set. I don't get how people increase their weights midway through one set? Is it just my body only that is strongest at the...

I started exercising in October 2007 and was 185 pounds. Today I am currently 165 pounds. All of my lifts increased a ton (bench went from 80 to 185, dumb bell curls are up from 20 to 40 pounds,...

I feel hesitant to ask this question because it is like asking is some foods from Wendy's okay to eat? Most people will give a flat out "NO" without even thinking about it. The reason I ask is...

Thanks for the help guys. I'll add some more leg presses and attempt to do deadlifts though I've never done them before.

The thing is if I only rest 1 minute between reps, I can't do as much. For example, if I do 4 x 8 on bench with 2 or 3 minutes between each set, I generally hit 8 reps for each set. If I only take...

I've been at this for 6 months and have gained a lot in strength but now I feel that I have a foundation of strength, it is time to maximize my workouts by hitting at least the major parts of my...

Damn son. Looks like 3 eels rolls, 1 California roll, 2 salmons, 1 fluke, 1 tuna, 1 order of shumai, and a miso soup. I'd be in ****ing heaven too. Probably cost a pretty penny too.
