I'm following one of Bret Contreras' workout routines focused on legs (LULUL), and I'd like to know if someone could help me answering some questions about the number of repetitions and how to improve upper body days. Thank you!
Post Body

This is the routine and these are my questions: 1) When it says 3 x 8-12, what does the "8-12" mean? That I should start with 12 repetitions, then 10 with more weight, and finish the series with 8 repetitions? 2) Why the drastic change in the number of repetitions between exercises? For instance, squats are only 3 x 6-8, but leg extensions are 3 x 10-20. Wouldn't it be better to keep the same amount of repetitions for all the exercises (for instance, all at 6-8)? 3) The upper body days are very weak, since this routine is focused on legs; hence I'd like to change the excercices and repetitions for chest, back, bis/tris and shoulders: would it be ok to keep all my excercises for upper body at 3 x 6-8 to failure? Thank you!
