I had been working out for a while but not real seriously. I more recently started taking lifting weights and working out more seriously and I'm loving it. I've read a lot about the whole less reps with more weight/more reps with less weight and all this fast/slow twitch fibers and toning and yadda yadda yadda I'm sure anyone on here knows what I'm talking about so I won't go into detail.

Anyways, my question is I usually do three sets of exercises. I had read that it's a good idea to do the more reps with less to get a good balance of endurance/toning. Today I did 2 sets of the less reps-more weight (6-8 reps) and then 1 set of the more reps-less weight (10-12 reps). It felt good and I feel fine just wondering what you think of that. Someone had said do the less weight first as a warm up but I warm up and stretch before anyways, and like a guy at work pointed out after you lift heavy anything light feels real light so you can do more.

This is my first post and this forum seemed pretty good--some other ones seemed too dedicated to becoming the Hulk and I just want to bulk up a bit and have my muscles be more noticeable since I'm already in good shape and whatnot. Thanks for any info.
