Should You Do Very High-Rep ("Finisher") Sets‪?‬ Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews

    • Fitness

I’ve churned through over 150,000 emails, social media comments and messages, and blog comments in the last 6 years.

And that means I’ve fielded a ton of questions.

As you can imagine, some questions pop up more often than others, and I thought it might be helpful to take a little time every month to choose a few and record and share my answers.

So, in this round, I answer the following question:


Should you do very high-rep, “finisher” sets in your workouts?

If you have a question you’d like me to answer, leave a comment below or if you want a faster response, send an email to mike@muscleforlife.com.
