Really? I find the total opposite! I used to sets of 10 but after 6 or so, my form broke down. I have worked very hard on my DL and clean form in particular and have it nailed.
Also building strength isn't my goal - not losing strength whilst dropping some fat is but it's good to hear other perspectives and such. I'll see how it goes and maybe switch to some sets of 10.

This is something I have tried and I can't say I'm a fan. I find I run faster and longer if I've had something to eat or drink.
