is this a good idea. i do a set of heavy weights just say for example bicep curls then in between the sets, instead of having a rest i do 80 fast bicep curls with lighter weights. will this be a good idea to get stronger or build faster??

That will just build up endurance and wear yourself down so on your next 'set' you wont be able to lift as much or many reps. Low weight with high reps is for toning your muscles but you wont build faster. I would take a minute break between sets giving your muscles a chance to rest so you can hit the next set with more intensity rather than being fatigued.

i don't think it is agood idea bro becauese the idea of resting between sets allows you to recover slightly and give your muscles time to recover from your previous sets of heavy weight, if you did light weight in between sets i think that would just tire your muscles out and possibly being counterproductive on your gains but it is up to you bro just my advice

It will give you a good pump in your arms, but not do much for building actual muscle.
I favor a rep range of 10/8/6/5 that way you get higher reps with heavy weight too.Don't forget to give rep for quality posts!
