Published: Oct. 11, 2021, 10 a.m.

I\u2019ve churned through over 150,000 emails, social media comments and messages, and blog comments in the last 6 years.

\n

And that means I\u2019ve fielded a ton of questions.

\n

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.

\n

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

\n
    \n
  • Should you do very high-rep, \u201cfinisher\u201d sets in your workouts?
