I am in phase 2 of MAPS Anabolic and have a question about progressive overload for movements that have a rep range of 8-12. Is it best to stay at a given weight until I can correctly do 12 reps before moving up to a new weight, or is it okay to move up in weight and drop the reps to 8 if I can move the weight correctly for a set of 10? Which approach is best?
