That is SO in the spirit of this thread: thank you!
I strongly believe that when you make a pizza yourself there is no such thing as extra cheese. Nope. Just the right amount.

I confess I am constantly surprised when I see how jacked Johnson is compared to his 30 something WWE (still WWF to me) self, and I wonder what heās now on/dose heās up to and how he can keep going at over 50, seems mad, but man he is one impressive looking specimen.

I ate those yellow block erasers, ants, and any candy on the ground
Guilty pleasures! 
There was a time, albeit brief, when the yellow ones smelled like banana, purple-grape, etc.
But they were discontinued because of kids like us.
Random training thought I have while Iām stuck in a stupid meeting that I really have no interest in being part ofā¦
If the goal is hypertrophy, would it be better if instead of like a standard 3 x 10, I would do 3 x AMRAP instead? Closer to failure on all three setsā¦ makes sense or no? Itās like dogcrap but not really dog crap

IMO I think it has more to do with picking the right weight. A weight you that will bring you close to failure around 10 reps.

Your plan would be like Triple doggcrapp.

But then if my first set was really close to failure at the 10th rep, then the second set would realistically be less than 10 reps and the third even lessā¦
With day to day training variations like overall general fatigue, and sometimes your perception of what your 10RM for that weight is, that complicates things a little. Thatās why I thought just make it amrap over all the sets. I may get 12, then 10, then 7, but all would be close to failure

And that would be fine. Just donāt pick a weight so light you get 15-20 reps on the first set to get the 10 on the last set.

Too much fatigueā¦ 1 or 2 work sets with 1 or 2 reps of failure is plentyā¦ 4 to 8 reps

Yeah. Thats my understanding of pyramids. Typically the decay rate with 2 min. rest is about 10, 8, 6.
The last sports science thing I read (20 some years ago) said the recovery rate is about 75% of the preceeding set.
Similarly to drop sets, but with them you reduce weight instead of reps.
