These are the kinds of things you contemplate during rests between sets :)

Honestly though, the effort of increasing weights between sets is far less important than the effort of removing the weights when done (which some of the bros never bother doing).

When you are exhausted, removing 5s and 10s is practically a joy compared to removing 20s (45lb).



by the time you are removing multiple 45s you are already strong enough that it does not matter.


And you can't remove more than 2 at a time or the bar will become too unbalanced and tip out of the rack.


I completely obliterated a chalk bucket this way once. Not the kind of mistake you make more than once.
